When to Call for Emergency AC Repair

Closely monitoring your air conditioner is essential for protecting your comfort. If you notice any of the following signs, we recommend scheduling service without delay:

  • Warm air blowing through vents
  • Low or no airflow
  • Frequently tripped breakers
  • Odd noises, like screeching, banging, or grinding
  • Refrigerant leaks

Don’t wait. Contact United Air Temp at (404) 467-2148, and we’ll arrive quickly to restore your air conditioner.

DIY Air Conditioning Troubleshooting

Some air conditioner problems are easily resolved and don’t require emergency service. Before calling for emergency service, we recommend checking the following:

  • Thermostat settings: Confirm the thermostat is set to cool instead of auto or heat.
  • Air filter: Verify that the air filter isn’t clogged, and change it for a new one if needed.
  • Breaker: Make sure the circuit breaker isn’t tripped, and reset it if necessary.

If you still have issues after checking the above, contact UAT online or call (404) 467-2148 to schedule AC repair for your Atlanta home.

The Most Common Causes of AC Breakdowns

Air conditioners are complex machines that can fail for any number of reasons. Some of the most common include:

  • Dirty evaporator coils
  • Dirty condenser coils
  • Clogged drainage lines
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • A bad capacitor
  • A burnt-out contactor
  • Damaged fan blades
  • An overheating compressor

Contact us online or call (404) 467-2148 for an appointment. We’ll determine the cause of your AC malfunction and resolve it as quickly as possible.

Air Conditioning Repair vs. Replacement

Most air conditioners provide between 10 to 15 years of reliable operation with proper maintenance.

As your air conditioner ages, it will lose efficiency and need more frequent repairs. If the cost of repairs exceeds 50% of replacement, then air conditioner replacement can be a cost-effective investment in your comfort.

Further, if you have an older system, investing in a newer, more energy-efficient model can reduce your utility bills and save you money in the long run. 

If the cause of the breakdown is minor and relatively easy to fix, then repair is always best. Likewise, repairs are advisable if the unit is under warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Open your windows and turn on any fans in the home to encourage airflow.

Avoid turning on the oven because it’ll introduce more heat in your home.

You should also change into breathable clothing and drink plenty of liquids to stay hydrated. 

When temperatures rise into the 90s or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and you lower your thermostat to 78 degrees or below, it can push your AC unit beyond its maximum cooling capacity. This causes the system to overheat and shut down.

If your AC unit is properly sized for your home, this can occur because of incorrect settings on the thermostat, dirty air filters, a blocked condenser unit, or a damaged outdoor unit.

This issue can also occur when the evaporator coil freezes over or if you have a refrigerant leak.  

If your AC unit is blowing warm air, it may be because of ice formation on the evaporator coils.

To defrost the air conditioner, you should turn the AC unit off at the thermostat but leave the fan on. The fan will blow warm air over the coils, which will help thaw them.

You should also check the air filter and change it if it’s clogged.

Once the ice is melted, set your thermostat back to cool and the fan on auto. If your AC freezes again, you need professional repair.

We advise against this because the extreme heat of summer temperatures can damage personal property and can cause indoor humidity levels to rise to dangerous levels.

Turning off your AC while you’re away may seem like a good idea, but it can cause mold to grow, paint to peel, wood furniture to warp, and increases stress on appliances including your refrigerator and freezer.

A better option is to turn your thermostat up a few degrees. This will reduce overall energy usage and maintain a safe indoor climate until you return.
