When the air conditioning quits in Westland, MI, the house tells you fast, and so does everyone in it. The most common failure we see is the humble run capacitor: a few dollars of electronics that starts the compressor and fan, weakens quietly for years, and finally lets go on a brutal afternoon, leaving the outdoor unit humming but the fan still. Right behind it come pitted contactors that no longer pass power cleanly, condenser fan motors with dry bearings, refrigerant leaks that slowly bleed the system's capacity away, and evaporator coils that ice over solid whenever airflow collapses behind a clogged filter.
When the heat goes out, see Furnace Repair.
Warning Signs for AC Repair
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. These are the signals our technicians see most often:
- Hissing or bubbling sounds that suggest a refrigerant leak
- Frost or ice forming on the copper lines or the indoor coil
- Clicking or humming outside with no fan movement
- Breaker trips or a burning odor at startup
- Vents blowing air that is barely cooler than the room
- Rapid on-off cycling that never brings the temperature down
- Water dripping from the indoor unit or showing up on the ceiling below
- Rising electric costs paired with a sticky, uncomfortable house
Don't Wait for a Total Failure
Left unchecked, even a small fault or temperature swing often signals a system working its way toward a breakdown. Call (734) 215-6893 at the first sign of trouble.
