AC running but blowing warm air

The system is moving air but not removing heat from it. Most often that's low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty or iced-over coil, or a failed capacitor on the outdoor unit.

The frustrating part of this one is that everything looks fine. The unit hums, air comes out of the vents, the thermostat says it's doing its job. But the system has two halves — one that moves air and one that removes heat from it — and only the first half is working. That's why the house creeps up a degree an hour while everything sounds normal.

What to check yourself first

Worth five minutes before you call anybody. Sometimes it's the whole problem, and when it isn't, you've told us something useful.

  1. Look at the outdoor unit — is the fan spinning?
  2. Check the filter. A clogged one can ice the indoor coil solid.
  3. Feel the big copper line at the outdoor unit. Ice on it means shut the system off.
When to stop and call

If there's ice anywhere, switch the system to OFF and the fan to ON to thaw it, then call. Running it iced up can wreck the compressor.

Straight answers

Questions people actually ask

If yours isn't here, call and ask. Joshua would rather talk it through than have you guessing.

Call 910-705-7427
Do you really answer at 2 a.m.?

For no heat and no cool, yes. Anything that can wait, ring during the day and we'll find you a slot.

Do you charge to come look at it?

Estimates on system replacements are free. For a repair or service call, ask when you ring and you'll get the number up front, before anybody drives anywhere. We don't offer financing at the moment, so at least you'll know the figure before you have to work out how to cover it.

Is it worth fixing, or should I replace it?

Depends on the age of the system, what failed, and what the repair costs against a new one. As a rough rule, once a repair gets past about a third of replacement cost on a system over ten years old, replacing usually wins. That's a rule of thumb, not an answer — we'll look at yours and tell you which way it actually falls, and the replacement estimate costs you nothing.

What brands do you install?

We're a Goodman dealer, so that's what we fit most often and what we can price best. If you want something else — Trane, Rheem, Carrier, whatever — we can source it. Tell us what you're after.

Do you warranty your work?

60 days on our labor. Equipment carries its own manufacturer warranty on top, which varies by brand and by whether it gets registered — we'll walk you through that at install.

Can I text you a photo instead of explaining it?

Yes, and it helps. A picture of the unit's data plate with the brand and model number saves real time and sometimes saves a trip.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes — walk-in coolers and freezers, and kegerator and draft systems, for restaurants, bars, taprooms and stores. It's the other half of what the LLC is named for.

How often should a system be serviced?

Once a year at minimum, twice is better in this climate — cooling in the spring, heating in the fall. Filters every one to three months depending on the filter and whether you've got pets.

What areas do you cover?

Benson and the towns around it are home ground, and we run out to Raleigh, Garner, Lillington, Fayetteville and Goldsboro too. If your town isn't listed, call and ask.
