Tommy D's Heating & Cooling | Qualified HVAC Repair in Lafayette, IN

Common signs include your AC blowing warm air, ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, a noticeable hissing sound from the unit, and a sudden increase in your cooling bills. If you notice any of these, it's important to call a professional like Tommy D's for a diagnosis. Refrigerant leaks reduce efficiency, strain the compressor, and can lead to more costly repairs if left unaddressed in our Lafayette climate.

First, check your thermostat settings and the circuit breaker to ensure power is reaching the unit. If those are fine, the issue could be with the capacitor, a hard-start kit, or the compressor itself. Compressor problems are serious and often linked to other issues like refrigerant leaks. Don't let it cycle on and off, as this can cause further damage. Contact Tommy D's for a professional assessment to accurately diagnose and resolve the compressor issue, protecting your system from total failure.

Regular, professional maintenance is the best defense against the common issues Lafayette homes face. Our tune-ups include checking refrigerant levels to catch leaks early, inspecting electrical components and the compressor for wear, cleaning coils for efficiency, and ensuring all parts are functioning correctly. This proactive care helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during peak summer heat, extends your system's lifespan, and keeps your energy costs lower. It's a small investment that protects your comfort and your wallet.
