Durham Air Conditioning Repair

Common Air Conditioning Problems Requiring Repair

Air conditioning problems can cause a major inconvenience, leading to perspiration and discomfort during the warm summer months. Common repair needs include issues such as decreased airflow through vents, ice/moisture accumulation on coils or frozen evaporator coils, dirty air filters which reduce cooling efficiency, worn out fan motors, refrigerant leaks, and faulty wiring connections. 

If your air conditioner is malfunctioning, always seek out the advice of a trained professional for an accurate assessment and proper repairs. Trying to fix it yourself can lead to more significant damage and further repair costs. By detecting and addressing these problems early on with proper maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change my AC air filter in North Carolina?

In Durham, where pollen counts can be high and humidity is frequent, we recommend checking your filter every 30 days. While some high-efficiency filters claim to last 90 days, pet owners or those with allergies should stick to a monthly schedule to prevent airflow restriction and strain on the blower motor.

What causes an air conditioner to freeze up?

Ice on your AC unit usually stems from two things: restricted airflow or low refrigerant. If air can’t move over the coils, the condensation on them drops below freezing. If you see ice, turn the system off immediately to allow it to thaw and call a technician, as running a frozen system can damage the compressor.

How long does a typical AC repair take?

Most common repairs—such as replacing a fan motor, clearing a drain line, or installing a new capacitor—can be completed within one to three hours. More complex issues, like a full coil replacement or leak detection, may take a half-day.
