Signs You Need an Air Conditioning Repair
When your vents start blowing warm air or you have no airflow, it’s pretty clear something’s wrong with your air conditioner. Other signs of AC trouble can be less obvious. Knowing how to recognize a need for AC repair prevents continued system damage and more expensive repairs.
Contact Stuart Services for an AC repair if you notice:
- AC system won’t turn on
- Weak airflow from vents
- Frequent cycling on and off
- The thermostat temperature isn’t reached or maintained
- Bad odors
- Refrigerant leaks
- Loud or unusual noises or vibrations
- Frozen evaporator coils
- Poor indoor air quality
Most of these signs point to common issues that are easily repaired. However, if your AC is over 10 years old, needs a major component replacement, or the necessary repairs would be too expensive to be cost-effective, your technician will discuss air conditioning replacement with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you troubleshoot a broken AC?
When your air conditioner malfunctions, there are a few things you can try before calling for professional AC repair.
Start with the basics:
- Check the circuit breaker in your panel box and make sure it isn’t flipped.
- See if your air filter is clogged and replace it if necessary.
- Make sure your thermostat is set to cool with the fan on auto.
Finally, make sure your outdoor unit isn’t frozen. If it is, let your system thaw completely and dry out before turning it back on.
If your air conditioning issues persist after taking these steps, an HVAC technician should inspect and repair your unit.
Should I turn my AC off while on vacation?
You don’t want to leave your air conditioner off completely because water damage, mold, damaged appliances, and more can develop in a hot and humid home. Many items in your home are built for indoor temperatures only, so you might be surprised by what fails if the temperature gets too high.
However, you don’t need to keep your home as cool as you would while you’re there. If you want to save energy while you’re away, bump the temperature up a few degrees, but don’t set it any higher than 82 degrees Fahrenheit, to be safe.
What are the most common causes of air conditioner malfunction?
Refrigerant leaks resulting in your system not being able to carry heat away, electrical and sensor problems, thermostat issues, airflow problems, and drainage problems cause most AC malfunctions or failures.
Substantial mechanical problems are a little rarer, though blowers, fans, and compressors can fail. In those cases, you may be better off with an air conditioning replacement.
What should I check when my AC isn't cooling?
If your AC isn’t cooling, start by checking the thermostat settings to ensure it’s set to “cool.” Verify that the air filter isn’t clogged, as this can restrict airflow. Also, check if the circuit breaker has tripped, and make sure vents are open and unobstructed.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it’s best to contact a professional for further diagnosis. For more detailed steps, check out our full guide on what to check when your AC isn’t cooling.
How can I improve my air conditioner's performance?
Keeping up with routine DIY tasks such as replacing air filters at least every three months is step one of making the most of your AC.
The second step is scheduling annual maintenance with an HVAC technician. They’ll inspect and clean your unit so they can identify any repair needs and provide the right solution.
If you have a drafty home, poor insulation can also severely impact AC performance and efficiency, so reinsulation will make a big difference.
