Air Conditioner Repair Services in Central NJ

When your air conditioner breaks down in the middle of summer, you need help, and you need it fast — that’s why you have Arctic Air Conditioning.

Reliable AC Repair for Homes & Businesses

While properly maintained air conditioners are usually reliable, overuse can sometimes be too much, especially during sweltering summers.

Several things can go wrong with your air conditioner, so call professionals right away if something seems wrong or your system isn’t keeping your home comfortable.

Check out our infographic at the bottom of the page for cooling tips to help you save money and prevent AC problems.

5 Common Air Conditioner Problems

Call us if you have any of these problems in your home:

• Your air conditioner makes a loud wailing noise. A loud noise is usually caused by a dislodged or fraying fan belt. Over time, the noise can get louder until it’s practically deafening when your AC is running at full capacity. Before your fan belt gets destroyed, call Arctic Air. We can replace your fan belt and lubricate the bearings in your motor to get your AC running like new.
• Your AC coils are frozen. If you forget to change your AC filters, this will happen at some point. Other things can also lead to frozen air conditioners, such as a refrigerant leak. Whatever the cause, we can fix it. We can identify why your AC is freezing and address the problem before it ruins your compressor.
• Your air conditioner is leaking into your house. A leaky AC presents a double problem — it means your AC isn’t working and also leads to mold, mildew, and water damage. If your AC condensate drain stops working and you have water in your home, call Arctic Air. We can replace your rusted condensation pan or clear any blockages in the drain pipe.
• Your AC isn’t cooling. If there are no obvious signs of damage, but it’s blowing warm air or not cooling enough, call Arctic Air. You may have an improperly sized system (if it’s not consistently cooling the whole house), or there could be another problem. Using the latest tools and technology, we’ll figure out what’s going on and fix your air conditioner as soon as possible.
• Your air conditioner won’t cycle on or off. Does your unit not turn on or off? Are your filters dirty? Are your air vents closed or blocked? Is the thermostat set to AC or COOL? It’s also possible your air conditioner could be improperly sized. Whatever the issue, our team will get it back in working order.

Preventative Maintenance & Troubleshooting

If you want to avoid air conditioner repairs, there are a few important things to remember. First, preventative maintenance is key to keeping your air conditioner working as it should, without lost efficiency, performance, or service years.

That means keeping up with replacing filters at a bare minimum — for some homes, it might also mean keeping your coils clean, as they can get dirty in certain environments, which will lead to freezing.

Changing your filters and checking your coils to see if they’re frozen should also be high priorities for troubleshooting, as many basic AC problems stem from a lack of airflow.

Preventative maintenance also means annual professional maintenance, ideally in the spring, so your system is in peak condition for the summer. This lets you avoid unexpected breakdowns, catches big problems while they’re still small, and helps maintain energy efficiency and performance despite wear and tear.

There are two other things to keep in mind for basic troubleshooting. One, you should check the breaker governing your AC and make sure it didn’t flip.

Two, make sure you don’t have a thermostat problem instead of an AC problem — often, this is resolved by simply replacing a dead battery or changing a setting.

Finally, don’t hesitate to call a professional when you need one for emergency AC repair services. Delays can lead to damaged systems and more expensive headaches.

You should also reach out for repairs if any of these problems recur; a one-off breaker flip could be anything, but repeated breaker flips mean something is wrong.
