AC Repair

Cleveland summers are hot and humid, so an effective air conditioner is a must for optimal comfort and wellness. But over time, your current AC system could show its age, and you might find yourself looking for reliable AC repair in Cleveland. Even with proper maintenance, every AC system will eventually need parts to be replaced and repairs to be made.

DeSplinter 72 Degrees® Air Conditioning & Heating is your local air conditioning replacement and repair specialist, and we’re ready to help. So if you’re noticing common issues with your system, give us a call. We can walk you through air conditioner repair or replacement and help you find the best model for your home and needs.

When You Need AC Repair In Cleveland

During routine air conditioning maintenance services, technicians perform an array of tasks to keep your AC unit running smoothly. During this time they may find issues that require attention. That said, especially with an older system, components may not show signs of age and simply stop working one day. Initial troubleshooting can help you to determine if repair is necessary. 

If your air conditioner won’t come on:

  • Ensure that a breaker is not tripped
  • Double check the thermostat, especially if it’s located in a cooler spot in your home

If air flow is low or warmer than normal:

  • Be sure that the air filter is freshly changed
  • Run the fan on auto to thaw a potentially frozen coil
  • Ensure that the ‘cool’ and ‘auto’ thermostat settings are on
  • Check outside to be sure that debris isn’t blocking air flow to the unit

If certain rooms are hot: 

  • Check all windows to be sure they’re closed
  • Look over the vents and make sure registers aren’t blocked

If you’ve tried these quick fixes but you’re still not getting a high enough flow or cool enough output, then it’s time to call your Cleveland heating and cooling experts at DeSplinter 72 Degrees® Air Conditioning & Heating. Here are some clear signs to look for that could indicate that it is time to consider air conditioning replacement

  • Unusual noises during operation
  • Warm air blowing from vents despite the thermostat being set to cool
  • Frequent cycling on and off
  • Unexplained increases in electricity bills
  • Moisture or leaking around the indoor unit
  • Weak or reduced airflow from supply vents
  • Unpleasant odors when the system runs

Common air conditioning repairs include:

  • Units that won’t turn on/off
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Condenser failure
  • Faulty blower motor
  • Broken capacitor
  • Wiring issues
  • Faulty AC contactor
  • Mechanical wear and wear
  • Dirty and clogged filters

If you have expanded the footprint of your home, it could also be that your current HVAC system is no longer able to handle the capacity of cooled air your home requires. Our technicians can calculate your home’s needs and find a system that pairs perfectly with your total square footage.

AC Repair or Air Conditioning Replacement?

We always advocate for repairing things that still work well otherwise and have plenty of life left. It’s worth taking care of a good quality AC unit, and we are happy to continue to repair a homeowner’s air conditioning system. Keeping an HVAC unit running smoothly boosts efficiency, has the potential to reduce energy bills and can improve indoor air quality. Taking care of minor repairs before they become major breakdowns can also delay the need for total air conditioning replacement.

However, at some point, the balance will tip and it will become less practical and economical to keep repairing an aging system, especially if repairs start to come with greater frequency. At that point, you may need to consider air conditioning replacement. If your AC unit is nearing the end of its projected useful life (15-20 years), or repair costs are starting to stack up and total as much as half of a new system, it may be time for air conditioning replacement. Oftentimes modern, smart systems end up being more affordable in the long run thanks to rebates and incentives combined with lower operating costs.

In the meantime, while you think things over, the professional technicians at DeSplinter 72 Degrees® Air Conditioning & Heating are here with HVAC repair services to ensure that you and your family are comfortable, especially during the extreme temperatures of summer.
