What Are the Signs Your AC Is Failing and Needs Repair?
While some signs of a failing air conditioner are obvious, others may not be. It’s vital to keep an eye out for unusual behaviors so you know when to contact a professional.
If you let problems go on for too long, you may need a premature air conditioning replacement.
Common signs of AC failure include:
- Low or no airflow: This could be caused by dirty air filters, a broken blower belt, or an electrical issue. Our technicians will identify the source of the problem.
- Loud noises: Central air systems are supposed to run quietly, so if you hear hissing, banging, buzzing, or other unusual sounds, you need a repair.
- Moisture and puddles: Refrigerant leaks or evaporator coil issues can create pools of water around your unit. These can cause severe damage if left untreated, so they need a technician’s attention right away.
- Increased energy bills: When ACs malfunction, they reduce efficiency. If you see odd spikes in your energy bills, it’s time to call for a professional service.

AC Repair vs. Replacement
When faced with the dilemma of air conditioning repair or replacement, it’s crucial to make the right choice.
While repairs can be a cost-effective solution for minor issues, choosing AC replacement might be wise if your system is outdated, needs expensive repairs, or is prone to breakdowns.
At Tom Drexler, our experienced technicians work with you to assess your system’s condition, considering factors such as:
- System age: If your air conditioner is over 10 years old, it might be time to consider a replacement. Newer models are built with better technology that can improve comfort and save energy.
- Repair cost: A good rule of thumb is if the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, replacement is usually the better investment.
- Repair frequency: Frequent breakdowns are a sign that your system is wearing out, and the cost of keeping it running could be higher than installing a new one.
- Energy efficiency: Older units tend to use more energy and cost more to run. Replacing it with a high-efficiency model can help lower your monthly bills.
With your input and our expertise, we’ll guide you toward the optimal choice that aligns with your budget and ensures long-term comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Issues such as frozen evaporator coils, refrigerant leaks, or obstructed condenser coils can prevent your system from producing cold air.
However, the blower might continue running even when other parts of your air conditioner malfunction or fail, which is why you feel warm air. Schedule an air conditioning repair to determine the cause and the best solution for this issue.
What should I do while I wait for emergency AC repair?
The most important thing to do is stay cool. You should avoid generating or allowing heat into your home. Close blinds and curtains, keep exterior doors shut, and avoid using heat-producing appliances like ovens. You can use fans to enhance airflow for some comfort while you wait for your emergency HVAC technician.
How do you defrost an air conditioner?
To defrost an air conditioner, turn it off and change the thermostat fan from “auto” to “on.” The fan will blow warm air to help melt the frozen coils, although this process can take several hours. Once your system is defrosted, seek assistance from a professional HVAC technician to determine the cause of the problem.
