We service all makes and models and we stand behind the quality of our work. Whether you need a quick repair or a major fix, we have the experience to get the job done right.

Why AC Problems Get Worse Fast in Forest Oaks

Spring Hill homes run their AC hard from April all the way through October. By the time the system has been running that long, problems that were small in the spring turn into full breakdowns by July. Freon leaks that were losing just a little refrigerant all season finally stop cooling entirely. Coils that were getting dirty all year freeze over completely. Sensors that were acting up start short cycling the unit on and off constantly driving up the electric bill. And heating systems that sat unused all summer sometimes will not fire up when that first cold front rolls through in December. None of it fixes itself and the longer it sits the worse and more expensive it gets.

What AC Repair in Forest Oaks Actually Involves

A proper AC repair in Spring Hill starts with an honest diagnosis. Not a sales pitch for a new unit, not a list of things that might be wrong, an actual diagnosis of what is broken and what it will take to fix it. Most AC problems come down to a handful of issues. Freon leaks, frozen coils, bad sensors, failed capacitors, dirty coils restricting airflow or a blower motor that has given out. A good technician finds the problem fast, explains it in plain language and tells you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether the unit is too far gone. If it can be fixed it should be fixed. Replacing a unit that still has years of life left in it is an unnecessary expense most homeowners do not need.

• AC not cooling

We Specialize in Older Units

Most HVAC companies push you toward a new unit the minute yours starts having problems. That is not how we operate. We specialize in repairing older units and will always give you an honest opinion on whether a repair makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a repair is all you need to get several more years out of your existing unit. We have seen it all and worked on it all. Before you spend thousands on a new system give us a call and let us take a look first.

What Happens When You Ignore a Heating Problem in Forest Oaks

Florida winters are mild but when the heat stops working it is still uncomfortable. A cold front rolls through, temperatures drop into the 40s overnight and suddenly the house is cold and the system will not kick on. The most common heating repair problems we see in Spring Hill are systems that sat unused all summer and have a failed component, thermostats that are not reading correctly and heat pumps that are blowing cold air instead of warm. Same honest approach as our AC repair. If it can be fixed we will fix it.

Common heating problems we fix:

• Heat not working
• Heat blowing cold air
• Heat turning on and off
• Heat making noise
• Thermostat not reading correctly

If your heat is doing any of the above visit our heating repair page for more information.

Why Waiting Makes It Worse

Every week you put off a repair the job gets bigger and more expensive. A small Freon leak becomes a system that will not cool at all. A sensor that is acting up becomes a compressor that burns out from short cycling. A frozen coil that gets ignored causes water damage to the air handler. What costs a couple hundred dollars to fix today can turn into a thousand dollar repair next month. If something seems off with your AC or heat do not wait.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my air conditioner blowing out warm air?

You definitely shouldn’t be feeling warm air coming from your vents, it obviously means somethings not working right, but you didn’t need an ac expert to tell you that!

If your ac is blowing warm air, it’s typically due to 1 of these 5 common AC issues:

• Your air filter is dirty
• Thermostat setting is set to “ON” instead of “AUTO”
• Faulty fan motor
• Low refrigerant levels (due to an ac leak)
• Broken compressor

You can fix the first 2 common ac problems yourself, the rest however, will require the help of an air conditioning professional.

How often should I change my air conditioners air filter?

Air filters should typically be changed every 1 to 3 months, depending on factors like the type of filter you have, the level of usage, and the presence of pets or allergens in your home. Regular filter changes help maintain optimal air quality and prevent strain on your AC system.

Why is my AC system making strange noises?

Unusual noises such as rattling, buzzing, or grinding sounds could indicate various problems. Loose components, worn-out belts, a damaged fan motor, or debris in the unit are common culprits. Ignoring these noises may lead to further damage, so it’s advisable to have a professional technician inspect and repair your AC system.

My AC unit seems to be leaking water. Is this normal?

While a small amount of condensation around your AC unit is normal, excessive water leakage is not. It could be due to a clogged condensate drain line, a frozen evaporator coil, or improper installation. Ignoring this issue might lead to water damage and mold growth. Contact a professional to assess and fix the problem.

Can I perform AC repairs myself, or should I hire a professional?

While there are some basic maintenance tasks you can perform, such as cleaning the air filter and clearing debris around the outdoor unit, most AC repairs require technical knowledge and specialized tools. Attempting complex repairs without proper expertise can worsen the problem and even pose safety risks. It’s generally recommended to hire a certified AC technician for repairs to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

Is it Time to Replace My Air Conditioner?

One of the toughest things you’ll have to decide on is, When is it time for a new air Conditioner? Even though a new air conditioner can be a big investment, the costs of continuing to run and repair an inefficient, old ac unit can add up quickly. How will you know when it’s time to replace your air conditioner? There are six common signs listed below to help you make a tough decision a little easier.

• Is your Air conditioner over 10 years old? You can typically expect a well-maintained air conditioner to last between 10 – 15 years. if you’re starting to need expensive repairs and your air conditioner is over 10 years old, often times it makes more sense to replace your ac. One of the main reasons is the advancements in efficiency in air conditioners in over the last decade. 
• If your air conditioner has a low SEER rating, it is considered inefficient by today’s standards. Your older air conditioner can be costing you a lot of money to operate it. Newly manufactured air conditioners are required to have a SEER rating of at least 13. If your air conditioning units SEER rating is below 13, your energy costs will be greatly reduced by replacing your old ac with a newer more energy efficient air conditioner.
• Expensive ac repairs. Whenever you’re facing expensive repairs, you’ll want to compare the cost of the ac repair against the cost of a new ac unit. In our experience, it makes better financial sense to replace your ac if the cost of the repair would cover a large portion of the cost of a new air conditioning system. Especially if your air conditioner has been showing other signs on our list.
• Is your ac breaking down frequently? Are you calling for repair service every month because of an ac leak, a problem with the evaporator coil or a new problem with your ac unit? Repair costs can add up really quickly. Save yourself the trouble by investing in a new ac unit.
• Does your current air conditioner use R 22 Freon? Did you know that the federal government is phasing out the use of Freon?It is being phased out in order to conserve energy nationwide. The result is that the cost of Freon is steadily rising. If your current air conditioner requires Freon, it will eventually have to be replaced. If you’re already experiencing major problems with your current air conditioner like an hvac leak, it may be the right time to replace your air conditioning unit.
• You can get or keep your homes temperature comfortable. You may have the wrong size air conditioning system for your home. Or it may be the sign of an aging air conditioner. If your air conditioner is not keeping your house cool, or your electric bill is out of control, it may be time for a new air conditioner and insulation.

Remember, when in doubt about any AC issues, it’s best to consult a professional technician to accurately diagnose and address the problem.

Trouble Shooting Your AC

​We’re nearing the start of summer and our air conditioning units will soon be working overtime in Spring Hill, Florida. Inevitably, something may go wrong when you try to start your ac unit after the winter months.

Some of the most common problems you may face with your air conditioner are listed below. If you run into one of these problems, you can try these DIY AC Troubleshooting and DIY AC Repair techniques:

The Issue: Your AC Unit Won’t Turn On

Possible Causes:

If you can’t get your air conditioning system to start at all, then you may have a blown circuit breaker or fuse, an improperly set or faulty thermostat, or possibly an internal switch has been turned off.

Possible Solutions:

• Make sure the air conditioning unit is receiving power from the electrical panel.
• Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse.
• Check the thermostat settings to make sure it’s on “cool” and not set to “off” or “heat.”
• Check the ac units condensation overflow tray for excessive water. Some air conditioners have a sensor on the tray that turns the ac unit off when it senses water.
• Ensure that all switches in and around the air conditioner are set to the “on” position.
• Check the external safety switch which is usually near the condensing unit.
• Is the blower door on the air handler is securely closed?

The Issue: Your AC Unit Turns On But Isn’t Cooling

Possible Causes:

If you can hear the air conditioner running but it isn’t cooling, this could be a result of blocked airflow — filters, registers or compressors. Low freon levels could also be the problem. Without the right amount of refrigerant, heat & humidity cannot effectively be removed from the air.

Possible Solutions:

• Check the thermostat. Does it need new batteries? Is it set correctly?
• Look at the condenser to see if it’s dirty or blocked. If it’s dirty, clean the condenser and be sure to completely remove the blockage. Condensers can easily become blocked by weeds, grass, or other debris.
• Replace your air filters.
• Has ice has formed on the coils?
• Check the outdoor compressor? Is it dirty? If so, clean it. Your compressor could be faulty or your may be low on freon which would require a air conditioning professional to repair.

The Issue: Low/No Airflow Circulating Throughout Your Home

Possible Causes:

A blockage in your ductwork, or the ductwork has become disconnected. A dirty air filter could be causing the issue as well.

Possible Solutions:

• Replace or clean the air filter if it’s dirty.
• Look at all ductwork to make sure its not disconnected. You’ll need to check all ductwork including the ductwork in your attic or crawl spaces. Reconnect as needed.
• Are your register dampers set to an open position?
• If you have a basic understanding of the different parts of your air conditioning system, cleaning your air conditioner is something you can do yourself. If the problem persists, and you need professional ac service, we are just a phone call away.

Proper AC maintenance is the best way to avoid problems down the road. If you have any questions give us a call.
