Air Conditioning Service Knowledge Base
Do I need to service the air conditioning unit in my home? My house is only fours years old. I use the air conditioning often in the summer time. I rarely use the heater. I regularly replace the air filters. Is there any need to call an air conditioner cleaning/servicing provider to come to my house to perform any routine service?
Air-conditioning service and fuel injection service? I have my 14 month old car booked in for a 20,000km service at the dealer tomorrow. They charge $100 more than my previous mechanic for a Nissan Micra, but I go there to keep the warranty. I had a phone call today from the service centre recommending I have a fuel injection service and an air-conditioning service, at a cost of an extra $210. I said no thanks, but was wondering if these things are really necessary? Are they just trying to rip me off?
How does one service the air conditioning unit on cars? Do I have to take my car to an air conditioning shop to have it serviced? One is able to receive instructions in the owner's manual for servicing and maintaining the coolant system, but they do not include details on maintaining your air conditioning unit. Has anyone performed this on their own? Tom
Car air conditioning system service? I own a Ford Focus 1.8 petrol (1999 with 78k) and the air conditioning system has never been serviced as far as I know although I do use it for at least 30 minutes per month. Would it be worth servicing it now, given the age of the vehicle and what damage may have been caused to the system Components e.g. compressor, condenser etc ?
How should I service my air conditioning unit? water sometimes backs up and my unit turns off. I have to shoot water into the PVC pipe outside and suck it out to get it going again. Are you supposed to put bleach or something else in the PVC pipe?
Air Conditioning Service cost.....? I have a friend of a friend (who is an A/C Tech) that has offered to come out and 'top up' my home A/C unit with freon for $200. The air is blowing about 70 degrees but will not cool the house any less than 75. 1) Will this fix the problem? 2) Is that a reasonable deal or am I being taken for a ride?
2001 Taurus Air Conditioning system leaking oil? I just had my 2001 Ford Taurus in the shop yesterday to service the air conditioning system. Diagnostics revealed that I needed the leaky accumulator (hose?) assembly replaced. The good news is that it blows very cold air now. Bad news is I've noticed a leak near the area where the work was done. (the smaller tube assembly underneath the larger running the length of the engine compartment). The leak is light brown and slightly oily. It's leaving spots in the driveway. Could this leak also be from the AC system? Does the AC system for the Taurus have oil?
Servicing window type air conditioning units with sealed systems? I work in the Philippines where most of the window type air conditioning systems have no ports for adding refrigerant. There is supposedly a pinch connector you can use to puncture the line for servicing. The pinch remains in the line permanently. Where can I find more information on this adapter or pinch for servicing or recovering sealed A/C systems?
How much gap under bedroom doors is needed for proper a/c air flow?

Air Conditioning? a technician came to repair my aircon which was not working. He managed to get it to work and said he will be back the next day to service it. When he came the next day and started work on it, the compressor gave way and that was the end of the aircon. He is now not accepting the fault and says it is solely the problem of the compressor. What can i do now?
How hard can it be to get my 2000 Chevy Cavalier air conditioning fixed?!? Took it to Tuffy Auto twice last summer. They took my $ but didn't fix the air conditioning. Took it to a small business family owned service shop last week. Still no luck. Neither can really say what is wrong and what needs fixed. Its not that it simply needs freon. Been done. HELP! Single mom!
How to reduce the effects on health from air conditioning? We have air conditioning at work, and every time I go into work I get a terrible headache and feel really fluish - I have been told that it is most probably a result of the air conditioning being on constantly and drying the air out (I work in a serviced building where this is the only source of ventilation, they are serviced and cleaned regularly). As soon as I step outside, I feel fine again. How can I reduce the impact that the air con has on my health?
How much should a replacement central air conditioning unit cost in the DC area? We have a 14-year old central air conditioning unit that is leaking refrigerant, making the coils freeze up. Our HVAC service company has quoted us $3200 to replace the current unit with a 2.5 ton, 13 SEER system from Trane. We're in Montgomery County, MD. Is this price high? Or is it in line with what it would normally cost with a AC replacement. I ask because the other prices charged by this company have typically been high, and since we're in a heat wave we have found it very difficult to get other companies to come out an give us an estimate. Thanks!

Do lemon laws cover items such as home air conditioning units? My Mom purchased a new home air conditioning unit, a Trane, about a year and a half ago. But, she has had to spend atleast $500 every other month the past year to have it fixed. The company that installed it and has been servicing it, Snyder, has yet to be able to fix the problem. Everytime they come out they say that it's fixed but it only breaks again within a month or two. Does anyone know of any lemon laws(state of Florida) that are applicable to this situation? Are there any legal actions that can be taken to actually get her air conditioner fixed correctly or replaced?
Goodman air con parts? I work for an air conditioning service mob and we are trying to get parts for a Goodman Air con from someone in Austrlai - preferably Western Australia Anyone know of any company that supplies these?????
What is causing air conditioning unit to blow out warm air and make a loud humming noise? I am hoping that we can avoid the expense of a service repair person. The filters are changed monthly. The air will come in absolutely freezing cold. Then it shuts down and blows in very warm air for hours. We shut it down for about an hour, then when we restarted it, it blew in hot warm air making a loud humming. The humming stopped, then very cold hair started to come in for about half an hour. I am wondering is this something that we can correct ourselves.
Renault Clio Service light on and heater/air con not working? I have a 2004 clio with 32800 miles on the clock. The service light has just come on (service not due until 36000) and also the heater/air conditioning unit will not turn on at all. Could it be a fuse or something more serious? I can't get my car into the garage before next week so should I be driving it? Help!

We just had our air conditioning unit serviced. The unit still does not stop running and air is not very cool? Any ideas why this would be? they cleaned the filters, added refrigerant, etc. thanks. Thanks for the help guys. but, all of the things mentioned were checked, cleaned, etc., and still the air that is blowing from the vents is not cold enough. it's not hot, just not real cool. Thanks for your help. thanks again. how do you go about measuring the temperature of air? Thanks for the input everyone, but let me reiterate, it has nothing to do with the size of the room, etc., it has to do with the temperature of the air that is coming out of the vents.
Which type of freon we are using in refrigerator and air conditioning system? Presently we are using environment friendly freon, when you are refilling freon in a compressor, pl ensure that old types are not getting filled in the systems manufactured after 2002, because old freons will damage working of your system. Although refilling couplers are different, pl take care while filling somewhere other than service station.
How much should air conditioning repair cost? I have 2 units for my home: One is 2.5 tons the other is 4 tons. The capacitor in my 2.5 ton unit went out. A friend of the family who works for an air conditioning company replaced the capacitor and recharged the unit. He charged me $200 and I gave him an extra 10 spot. How much more would I have paid for a regular air conditioning company to service it? Did I get off cheap? Edit: Thanks for the answers....I guess I got a great deal. What is really amazing is that I spent all the years busting my ass to become a Dr., and I can apparently make more money fixing air conditioning. Also, is it legal to mark up a capacitor 400%. PS edit....lol Thanks again. So I definitely want to have this guy service my rental property and continue to work for me in the future.
