Common AC Problems We Fix

One of the most common AC problems we encounter is a system that shuts off and won’t restart. In some cases, this may be due to a tripped circuit breaker, which can happen from time to time. You can reset the breaker once, but don’t continue to reset it. Recurring trips often indicate a much more serious electrical problem.

Our team can troubleshoot and fix all of these common problems:

  • Musty odors
  • Weak airflow
  • Irregular cycling
  • High electrical bills
  • High humidity levels
  • Uneven air distribution

Our AC Repair Process

Our technician will perform comprehensive diagnostics to reveal the underlying problem. We’ll then explore your options, provide honest advice, and offer upfront pricing. Our team will then deliver a reliable and economical HVAC repair for your Virginia home. We’ll also thoroughly test your system and clean our work areas before we leave.

Our detail-oriented process offers many benefits:

  • Lower your energy use
  • Give you peace of mind
  • Restore your system’s efficiency
  • Ensure reliable and even cooling

When to Call for Professional AC Repair

It’s always best to call as soon as you notice a potential cooling issue. Addressing problems early helps prevent small concerns from escalating into costly repairs, saving you time, money, and unnecessary stress.

Schedule an AC repair if you notice any of these signs:

  • Short cycling
  • Unusual noises
  • Unpleasant odors
  • Recurring circuit breaker trips
  • Warm spots and/or mugginess

Benefits of Timely AC Repair

Our team has the training, experience, and equipment necessary to reliably get your AC back on track. With us, you won’t have to worry about your AC breaking down again during the summer ahead.

There are many benefits to a professional air conditioning repair in Fredericksburg, VA:

  • Restored energy efficiency
  • Safer and quieter operation
  • Lower long-term repair costs
  • Extended equipment lifespan
  • Maintained warranty coverage

Central AC Repairs

Many homes in the region have centralized systems that provide consistent cooling throughout a home. Those systems require ducts that can lead to emergency AC repair issues as they age. Leaky ducts can compromise your comfort and air quality, while significantly increasing wear and tear on the system.

Ductless Mini-Split Repairs

With ductless systems, emergency AC repair issues can often be local to a particular indoor air handler. A common problem is the drain line becoming clogged with debris. That can cause the specific air handler to turn off, while the rest of the system remains fine.

Heat Pump Cooling Repairs

Heat pumps are similar to ACs but provide heating as well, and a reversing valve is a key component. A common HVAC repair in Virginia homes is freeing valves that are stuck in one position. Homeowners often need this service when switching over from heating to cooling.

I highly recommend Childress Heating & Air. They have been our HVAC maintenance service providers since we moved into our house, earlier this year. They are professional, courteous and respectful. We had to replace an HVAC system recently and the experience was fantastic.
