What AC Repair Services Do You Offer?

At G&G Heating and Air Conditioning, we offer a wide range of AC repair services in Washington. Some of our most common services include:

Refrigerant Leaks

Our EPA-certified HVAC technicians locate and identify the source of air conditioner refrigerant leaks quickly and accurately. We patch leak sources and recharge the refrigerant to the proper level for reliable cooling.

Electrical Failures

Sometimes, AC units have electrical failures that impact performance. We repair or replace burnt-out capacitors, contactors, or damaged wiring to ensure proper operation.

Fan & Blower Motor Repair

Broken motors, worn belts, or bent blades can cause your AC to stop working efficiently. We repair or replace these components to restore optimal airflow to your home.

Compressor Repair or Replacement

The AC compressor is one of the most important components of the unit. It pressurizes the refrigerant to support proper cooling. When a compressor is broken, you may get no cool air, hear strange sounds, or experience hard starts.

Emergency AC Repair

Sometimes AC repairs just can’t wait. If your AC breaks down in the middle of a heatwave, you need emergency AC repair services. We offer 24/7 service availability for local customers.

What Are Common Signs of AC Issues?

Unsure if you need AC repairs? These are the most common signs your AC is having issues and may need repairs.

  • AC not turning on: If your AC won’t turn on, it could be due to thermostat issues, a clogged condensate line, or severely clogged air filters.
  • Loud noises: Banging, squealing, or rattling can indicate that there are loose components or mechanical failures.
  • Strange smells: Foul odors such as musty or burning smells mean there may be mold in your air ducts or damaged electrical wiring.
  • Weak airflow: Weak airflow is commonly caused by dirty air filters, blocked ducts, or a failing blower motor.
  • Uneven cooling: When some rooms are cool and others are warm, you may have duct issues, clogged air filters, or poor insulation.
  • Warm air: If warm air is coming from your vents, your AC’s airflow may be restricted, or it may have a refrigerant leak.
  • Short cycling: Short cycling is an operational irregularity that can mean you have thermostat issues, clogged air filters, or a refrigerant leak.

When Should I Call for Emergency AC Repair?

  • AC not turning on: If your AC won’t turn on during summer, it’ critical to have it fixed quickly to protect your safety and comfort.

What Are the Benefits of Prompt Air Conditioner Repair?

Getting your AC repaired quickly offers several benefits. First, fixing issues promptly helps prevent unexpected breakdowns. It’s important to get your AC repaired quickly, so it doesn’t fail completely.

Next, prompt air conditioner repair also prevents more costly repairs down the road. Repairs will be less expensive if you don’t allow issues to worsen by putting them off.

Third, fixing your AC when it’s broken helps extend the lifespan of your unit and protects your investment. Additionally, it can lower energy costs by fixing inefficiencies.

Types of Cooling Systems We Repair

We repair all types of modern cooling systems, including central ACs, ductless units, and heat pumps.

Central Air Conditioners

Central air conditioning is a whole-house cooling system that utilizes a network of ducts and air vents to distribute cool air. It pulls warm air from outside and cools it at a central location before dispersing it throughout your home.

Ductless AC Units

A ductless AC or mini split doesn’t use ductwork to cool your home. It uses an outdoor compressor and indoor wall-mounted blowers with thin refrigerant lines for room-by-room cooling.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are electric all-in-one heating and cooling systems. They pull warm air from outside, absorb the heat into the refrigerant, and exhaust it outdoors while cooling your home.

When Should I Repair vs. Replace?

It can sometimes be difficult to know when AC repair or replacement is the better option. At G&G Heating and Air Conditioning, we’ll help you make the most cost-effective decision and share our recommendations.

There are a few factors to consider when deciding on AC repair vs. replacement:

  • Age: If your AC unit is nearing the end of its expected lifespan and is over 10 years old, replacement may be more cost-effective.
  • Cost of repairs: If repair costs are more than 50% of the cost of a new system, you should replace your AC unit.
  • Frequent breakdowns: If your unit is aging and having frequent breakdowns and needing increasingly costly repairs, you should replace the unit.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

To check if an electrical current is leaking from internal components to the metal casing, first turn off the power at the main breaker. Then prepare your multimeter by selecting the Ohms or continuity setting, then touch the two metal probes together until it beeps.

Next, go to the outdoor AC unit and locate the compressor terminals. Find an unpainted spot on the copper refrigerant line or the compressor's metal housing. Place the meter probe onto the metal ground point and touch the other probe to each of the other compressor terminals.

The meter should read OL (open line) or show an infinity symbol, and shouldn’t beep. If the meter beeps or shows a low resistance/numerical value, it means the current is leaking to the ground.

When your central AC trips off the breaker due to grounding, it means that electricity is leaking from internal wiring, creating a short circuit. Do not continuously reset the breaker. Instead, call G&G Heating and Air Conditioning at (360) 499-6604.
