Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Repairs
Your air conditioning system rarely quits without warning. Often, it provides subtle or even obvious signals that a problem is developing before a complete system breakdown leaves you without cool air. Catching and acting on these signs early can help you avoid more extensive and costly damage.
We encourage you to schedule repairs if you notice any of the following signs of AC trouble:
- Warm air blowing out. If your AC is running but the air coming through the vents doesn't feel cool, you obviously have a problem. This could point to a low refrigerant level, a bad compressor, or a faulty component that requires professional diagnosis and repair.
- Weak airflow. When air barely trickles from the vents, your unit is struggling to cool your space effectively. This could be due to issues with the fan motor, blocked ductwork, or a dirty filter. We can check your entire system and make the appropriate adjustments to restore proper circulation.
- Strange noises. Listen for grinding, squealing, or scraping sounds coming from your AC unit. These noises usually mean a mechanical part, like a bearing or motor, is failing. Addressing these sounds quickly helps prevent further damage.
How Regular Maintenance Can Help Avoid AC Issues
Investing in regular AC maintenance dramatically reduces the risk of expensive emergency repairs. We typically recommend annual inspections and tune-ups.
When our technicians catch and fix minor issues like a failing capacitor or a clogged drain line during a routine inspection, we can prevent that small component failure from triggering a catastrophic breakdown of a major part, such as the compressor. A compressor replacement alone can cost over a thousand dollars, far more than the price of a yearly tune-up. By keeping all AC parts clean, calibrated, and working together smoothly, we can help you maximize your equipment’s performance and minimize the chances of waking up to a completely broken system.

Yes it is. Mitsubishi, Daikin, Carrier and all other manufactures are phasing out the manufacturing of Ductless Air Conditioning ONLY stems. They are being replaced by high efficiency Ductless Heat Pumps, which provide both air conditioning and heating.
It doesn't make economic sense for the manufactures to rearrange an assembly line to make cooling only units, when there is very little cost difference from the manufacturing process of a heat pump.

Ductless mini-split systems are a premium home comfort solution, not a quick window-unit install. A professionally installed single-zone system typically starts around $6,500–$8,500, depending on the home and installation needs. Multi-zone systems serving several rooms can vary more. Each system requires a licensed, experienced crew to ensure efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability. We provide professional in-home evaluations so you know exactly what’s right for your home and budget.

With a multi-zone ductless heat pump, you can connect multiple indoor air handlers—often up to eight—to heat and cool different rooms independently.

A ductless heat pump works by moving heat, not creating it. In the summer, it pulls heat out of your home to keep you cool. In the winter, it extracts heat from the outdoor air—even when it’s cold—and brings it inside. Each indoor unit controls the temperature of its own room, providing efficient, quiet comfort without ductwork.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are essential for maintaining a comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient home. A properly functioning HVAC system not only keeps indoor temperatures steady year-round—it also improves air quality by filtering out dust, allergens, and pollutants. Regular maintenance ensures your system runs efficiently, lowering energy bills and extending its lifespan. Whether it’s keeping your family cool in the summer or warm in the winter, your HVAC system plays a vital role in creating a safe and comfortable living environment.

Tips for Keeping Cool When Your AC Fails
When your air conditioning system unexpectedly breaks down on a hot day, you need immediate relief. Our team at Air Inc. Heating & Air Conditioning is available on weekends and provides same-day support, so we can work to get to you quickly to get your AC back up and running. While you wait for one of our technicians to arrive, there are several things you can do to maintain comfort and manage the heat indoors.
If your AC stops working, we encourage you to:
- Block the sunlight. Close your blinds, curtains, and shutters, especially on windows facing the sun. Direct sunlight creates the most intense heat gain, so blocking it can dramatically lower the temperature inside.
- Use fans. Set up oscillating fans or box fans to create air movement. Direct fans toward you to create a cooling breeze.
- Limit the use of heat-generating appliances. Avoid running your oven, stove, clothes dryer, or dishwasher. These appliances release significant heat into your indoor air. Consider preparing cold meals, using a microwave, or grilling outdoors.
- Take cool showers or baths. If it is already hot inside, a quick, cool rinse can lower your body temperature immediately. You can also use a cold, damp washcloth for quick relief.
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty. Dehydration happens quickly in high heat and prevents your body from regulating its temperature effectively.
- Wear light, loose clothing. Choose lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics like cotton.
- Move to the lowest level. Since heat rises, the lower levels of a building are often significantly cooler. If you live in a multi-story home, spend time in your basement or on the first floor.
Turn to our experienced professionals when your AC needs repairs or maintenance. Call (203) 871-0801 or contact us online today.
