Most Common AC Problems in Gilbert

If you live in Gilbert, your AC takes a beating.
It runs hard for months.
And that wear adds up.

Here are the most common issues:

1. Low Refrigerant

This isn’t just “top it off and move on.”
Low refrigerant usually means there’s a leak.

Symptoms:

• Warm air coming out

• Long run times

• Ice on the coils

Fix:
We don’t guess. We test.
We find the leak, seal it, and recharge your system.

2. Frozen Evaporator Coils

Coils freeze when airflow gets restricted or refrigerant’s low.
Which means your system literally freezes up trying to cool you off.

Fix:
We defrost it, check your airflow, clean filters, and reset the system.
If your AC’s iced over—don’t wait. That can lead to full breakdowns.

3. Faulty Capacitor or Contactor

If your AC’s making that annoying clicking noise—or doesn’t turn on at all—
Chances are, your capacitor or contactor fried out.

Fix:
We carry replacements on the truck.
Diagnose. Swap it. Test. Done.

4. Clogged Drain Line

That little PVC pipe you never think about?
If it’s blocked, your AC can shut off completely.

Fix:
We flush the line, clear the backup, and install a float switch if needed.
Simple fix—unless you ignore it and get ceiling water damage.
