One of the most common complaints we hear is that some rooms in the house are colder than others, or the AC doesn’t seem to keep the temperature steady. Several factors can cause this:
Our technicians perform a detailed 20-point diagnostic check, including airflow and duct inspections, to pinpoint the cause. Often, a simple filter replacement or duct sealing can restore even cooling. In other cases, thermostat recalibration or system balancing may be necessary.
If your air conditioner is making unusual sounds such as banging, rattling, or squealing, it’s a sign that something needs attention. Common causes include:
Ignoring these noises can lead to bigger problems or system failure. Our team responds quickly to diagnose and repair these issues, often providing same-day service to restore peace and quiet to your home.
When your AC turns on and off rapidly, it’s called short cycling. This wastes energy, stresses the system, and reduces comfort. Causes include:
Our technicians use advanced tools to check refrigerant levels, electrical circuits, and airflow to identify the root cause. Fixing short cycling often involves cleaning, repairs, or sometimes upgrading to a properly sized system.
Water pooling around your AC unit or inside the home is a clear warning sign. This can happen due to:
Standing water can cause damage to your home and system. Our team quickly clears drain lines, repairs leaks, and addresses any underlying issues to prevent water damage and improve system efficiency.
Delaying repairs can lead to bigger problems, higher energy bills, and even complete system failure. At Stan’s, we emphasize the importance of addressing issues early. Here’s why prompt repairs make a difference:
