Living in Austin means dealing with hot Texas summers, and a working air conditioner is essential for comfort. Sometimes, your A/C might show minor issues that you can troubleshoot yourself before calling in a professional. At Stan’s Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical, we believe in empowering homeowners with knowledge so you can make the best decisions for your home’s comfort and efficiency.
Here are some common A/C problems that often have simple solutions you can try at home:
These quick fixes can often restore your system’s function temporarily, but if problems persist, it’s time to call in the experts. Additionally, it’s important to keep an eye on your A/C’s performance throughout the season. Regular maintenance checks, like cleaning or replacing filters every one to three months, can significantly extend the life of your system and enhance its efficiency. You may also want to consider scheduling a professional tune-up at the start of each cooling season to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Another common issue to be aware of is the buildup of ice on the evaporator coils, which can occur if airflow is restricted or if the refrigerant levels are low. If you notice frost forming, it’s best to turn off the unit and let it thaw before investigating further. This situation can lead to more significant problems if not addressed promptly. Remember, while DIY fixes can be helpful, knowing when to seek professional assistance is key to maintaining your home’s comfort and avoiding costly repairs down the line.

While DIY fixes can be tempting, many A/C issues require professional attention to ensure the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your system. At Stan's, we specialize in comprehensive HVAC solutions designed to keep your home comfortable throughout the year.
Our technicians employ a thorough 20-point diagnostic process to pinpoint the root cause of your A/C issues.
