What We Fix

Common AC Repairs

Refrigerant Issues

Low refrigerant causes warm air and ice buildup. We diagnose leaks and recharge properly.

Capacitor & Contactor

Failed capacitors and contactors are among the most common AC failures — and among the fastest to fix.

Blower Motor

A failing blower motor reduces airflow and comfort. We test and replace as needed.

Frozen Evaporator Coil

Ice on your coil means restricted airflow or refrigerant problems. We find the root cause.

Compressor Problems

The compressor is the heart of your AC. We diagnose accurately before recommending replacement.

Thermostat & Controls

Sometimes the fix is simple. We check controls and wiring before assuming a larger issue.

Electrical Diagnostics

We Check Everything — Not Just the Obvious

A labeled electrical panel like this tells us a lot about a system's history. Tripped breakers, mislabeled circuits, and undersized wiring are common causes of AC failures that get misdiagnosed as equipment problems.

We trace the problem to its source — electrical, mechanical, or refrigerant — before recommending any repair.

We Leave It Right

On a service call, we found this condenser with exposed electrical wiring and an unsecured disconnect — a safety hazard that had been left behind by a previous contractor. We documented it, addressed it, and left the job site safe.

At Garris Air, every repair is completed safely and professionally. We leave the work area clean, secure, and ready for reliable operation — whether it's a residential repair or a commercial service call.

FAQ

AC Repair — Common Questions

Why is my AC running but not cooling?+

The most common causes are low refrigerant (often from a leak), a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failed capacitor or contactor, or a clogged air filter restricting airflow. A technician can diagnose the exact cause with a proper inspection.

Why is my AC freezing up?+

Ice on your AC is usually caused by restricted airflow (dirty filter, blocked vents, or a failing blower motor) or low refrigerant. Turn the system off and let it thaw, then check your filter. If it keeps freezing, call for service — running a frozen system can damage the compressor.

Why does my AC breaker keep tripping?+

A repeatedly tripping breaker usually means the AC is drawing more current than it should — often due to a failing capacitor, a dirty condenser coil making the compressor work harder, or an electrical fault. Don't keep resetting it; have it diagnosed before it causes further damage.

Should I repair or replace my AC?+

A useful guideline: if the repair cost exceeds 50% of a replacement system's cost, or your system is over 12–15 years old, replacement is often the better investment. We'll give you an honest assessment either way — we won't push you toward replacement if repair makes more sense.

How quickly can you respond to an AC repair call?+
