AC Repair

It’s often overlooked just how miraculous modern air-conditioning is until something breaks down and you find yourself waking up in a muggy room, covered in sweat.

During the summer, your home is supposed to be a comfortable oasis where you can forget about the harsh realities of the blazing sun. The professionals here at Hill & Company want to make sure it stays that way.

When things go wrong and your HVAC system starts acting strange, our team is here to provide the highest quality repairs in Oklahoma City possible. Our highly-skilled technicians are trained in every aspect of HVAC repair.

We’ll use every bit of that experience to provide the best AC solutions possible.

Refrigerant Leaks

Most cooling systems depend on a highly specialized, enclosed system of chemical refrigerant to function. Over time, it’s not uncommon for these systems to develop leaks that can significantly affect their overall performance.

Capacitor Failures

The capacitors in an HVAC system are similar to the spark plugs in a car. They provide the initial jolt of energy required to start the various components of a system. When capacitors fail, the entire system can fail to start up, leaving you without AC. Luckily, it’s a fairly simple repair.

Compressor Issues

The compressor is responsible for compressing and cooling refrigerant after it’s been utilized to transfer excess heat. A faulty compressor can cause the evaporator coil in your unit to freeze up, literally icing over in the heat of summer. Avoid a frozen AC with services from our team.

Fan Motor Problems

Most standard split-system units utilize two main fans – an outdoor fan on the compressor unit and a main blower fan. These parts are responsible for forcing air throughout your entire system. Problems with either can greatly affect the performance of the system.

Dirty Filters

It’s recommended by most professionals that your HVAC filters be changed at least once every 90 days. If you suffer from allergies or respiratory issues, it might benefit you to change them as frequently as once a month.

In reality, most people don’t change their filters frequently enough and this can have subtle impacts on both your system’s performance and your household’s health.

Thermostat Issues

Thermostat issues are tricky. As the main control interface between you and your entire HVAC system, a simple thermostat failure can present itself as a far more serious issue. Our team is highly qualified at detecting these problems and we offer a wide range of thermostats to match as many needs as possible.

If you’re looking to upgrade from your current thermostat, consider investing in a smart thermostat. With their comprehensive list of features, smart thermostats have been proven capable of saving homeowners between 10% and 20% on annual energy bills.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair

Q: What Should I Check Before Calling For An AC Repair?

A: Before calling for an AC repair, there are a few things you can check to potentially resolve the issue yourself. Start by ensuring your thermostat is set to “cool” and the temperature is correctly adjusted. Check your circuit breaker to make sure a fuse hasn’t tripped, which could interrupt power to the unit.

Additionally, inspect the air filters — if they’re dirty or clogged, they can restrict airflow and affect performance. Make sure vents are open and unobstructed. If you’ve gone through these steps and the problem persists, it’s time to call our experts at Hill & Company. We’re committed to delivering prompt, efficient service to get your AC back to working perfectly.

Q: What Does It Mean If My Air Conditioner Freezes Up?

A: If you notice that your air conditioner is freezing up, it usually indicates an underlying issue that needs attention. Common causes include poor airflow due to a clogged air filter or blocked vents, which restricts the air needed for proper cooling. Another potential cause is low refrigerant levels, which can lead to ice forming on the coils.

A frozen unit not only affects cooling efficiency but can also cause damage to the system if not addressed promptly. Turn off the AC to prevent further damage and contact our skilled technicians. We’ll thoroughly diagnose the issue and provide the necessary repairs to restore your system’s efficiency and functionality.

Q: Why Is There Water Around My Indoor Air Handler?

A: Water pooling around your indoor air handler is often a sign of a problem with the condensate drain line. This line can become clogged with dirt and debris, causing water to back up and leak around the unit. Another possibility is that the drain pan or pump may be malfunctioning or damaged.

It’s important to address this issue quickly to prevent water damage to your home and potential mold growth. At Hill & Company, our experienced technicians can promptly identify and fix the source of the leak, ensuring your air handler operates efficiently and your home remains protected from water damage.

Q: Do Bigger Air Conditioning Units Perform Better?

A: A larger air conditioning unit might seem like it would perform better, but bigger isn’t always better when it comes to AC systems. An oversized unit can cool your space too quickly, leading to frequent on-and-off cycles that waste energy and cause wear and tear on the system. It can also result in poor humidity control and uneven cooling.

Proper sizing is key to achieving optimal performance and efficiency. Our experts at Hill & Company will assess your home’s specific cooling needs and recommend the right-sized unit to ensure balanced comfort and energy savings. We focus on finding the perfect fit for your home’s unique requirements.
