Reliable AC Repair

AC failures in triple-digit weather are unsafe but controllable with emergency repairs. At Village Plumbing, Air & Electric, we’re always prepared for the unexpected. If your HVAC system acts up or fails, your home can quickly become hot, humid, and dusty, leading to unhealthy conditions.

Air conditioners are complex assemblies of mechanical and electrical components that can be strained by a variety of factors. You can address some factors with regular maintenance but others, like operational stress or perhaps a system not sized properly for your home, can’t be managed unless major changes are made.

With 24/7 emergency AC repair, whether you have central air, a heat pump, or ductless AC, our highly skilled, NATE-certified technicians work on all makes and models.

Our team can help you make an informed decision and offer upfront pricing. We also offer online savings and affordable financing.

How To Prevent Emergency Repairs

With professional AC installation or replacement, most systems last eight to 10 years (20+ years if properly maintained). Routine AC service can help them function properly year after year.

Ways to reduce the need for AC repairs include:

  • Change the air filter regularly, around every two to three months.
  • Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, such as tree limbs, dirt, and furniture.
  • Schedule routine maintenance for a system inspection, minor repairs, etc., twice a year.

Signs You Need AC Repair

The sweltering summer weather can strain your HVAC. Signs it needs professional service include:

  • The air is warm: Culprits include refrigerant leaks, clogged filters, or malfunctioning compressors.
  • Uneven room temperatures: Recalibrate your thermostat, check for a faulty connection, and change the batteries.
  • Strange AC noises: Squealing or grinding might be a loose belt, failing motor, or worn bearings. Get it checked ASAP to avoid a system failure.
  • Sticky or humid rooms: Install a dehumidifier to prevent mold/mildew. It also might be a malfunctioning system component.

When Is AC Repair Not Enough?

Our goal is always to repair the AC you currently have. But if you have a unit that’s 15 or 20 years old and needs major repairs, it’s probably near the end of its lifespan and should be replaced. If you need multiple repairs in a short time, this can be frustrating and expensive.

Chances are, your system isn’t as efficient as it should be, so replacing it may be a more efficient and affordable solution in the long run. Trust our experts to assess your AC issues and help you determine if a repair or replacement is needed.

What Are the Components of an Air Conditioning (HVAC) System?

Inside Your Home

  • The evaporator coil evaporates liquid refrigerant, absorbs heat, and cools the coil.
  • The copper tubes include refrigerant that converts gas and removes heat.
  • The filter removes particles in the air to improve indoor air quality.
  • The ductwork runs cool air throughout your home.
  • The expansion valve regulates refrigerant in your evaporator coil.
  • The thermostat lets you adjust the temperature settings.

Outside Your Home

  • The fan (blower) blows air inside after extracted hot air is removed and cooled with refrigerant.
  • The compressor (box) pressurizes refrigerant, converts gas to liquid, and runs it through your system.
  • The condenser coil works with refrigerant to pull heat from the air and blow it outside.
  • The air handler connects to your ducts and uses filters and heating/cooling elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many people view an emergency as a situation in which your AC doesn’t turn on. This is certainly a problem, and we can address causes such as thermostat failure or problems with the thermostat, electric control, or motor. Dirty condensers, wiring issues, or a lack of power can cause your AC to stop working as well. You might also encounter urgent problems such as:

  • Limited airflow: Often caused by ductwork problems such as air leaks, clogs, disconnected components, or blocked vents and registers. Faulty blowers or thermostat issues can restrict airflow, or a condenser or filter may be obstructed.
  • Poor cooling performance: A refrigerant leak, frozen evaporator coil, faulty sensor, drainage issue, or dirt on coils or filters can prevent the system from providing cool air.
  • Unusual symptoms: If you see any kind of leak or condensation, call us right away. Other causes for concern include when your AC breaks down in extreme heat, it's tripping the breaker or dimming the lights, or causing a burning odor. Noise, such as shrieking, screeching, squealing, buzzing, rattling, clicking, hissing, or bubbling, should be addressed immediately.

Before calling a technician, check that the AC is switched on, the unit is plugged in, and the thermostat is set to cooling mode. Replace the air filter if it's clogged. These are issues you can resolve yourself. If none of them apply to your situation, contact us for AC repair in Houston.

Likely because you have a drain line stoppage. Customers often confuse “leaking units” for condensate. But if an AC isn't creating water, it’s not taking humidity out of the air, and it’s not cooling. Whether there’s cause for concern depends on where the leak is happening. Is it because water is condensing and draining outside or is it coming through the ceiling? Try to locate the leak to decide if it’s time to call for AC repair in Houston.

This could be as simple as a clogged drain line or blocked filter. But a major component problem is another possibility. It could also be a tripped breaker. If you’ve never dealt with a tripped breaker, you should get a professional to diagnose the issue. It’s easy to damage the breaker box if you don’t know what you're doing. A major fault in your AC may be the reason the breaker tripped in the first place.

Check if your outdoor condenser is running. If not, you may have a clogged drain line, which is one of the most common problems with ACs in Houston. Other reasons include a condenser unit blocked by debris, a frozen evaporator coil, a refrigerant leak, or an undersized air conditioner.

Learn about these five ways to reduce the need for AC repair. These simple tips can keep your system running smoothly and avoid costly breakdowns.

Yes, because they don’t require ducts, you can easily add a mini-split to your garage, basement, attic, or add-on.

Most contractors recommend replacing your AC if a repair cost equals more than half the unit’s value. Plus, you’ll likely need additional repairs if the unit is over 10 years old. A new AC can earn some of the cost back in the form of energy savings over time.

Some ACs include indoor air quality (IAQ) features, but consider an IAQ test. Our air scrubbers block viruses and pathogens like norovirus, bird flu, MRSA, listeria, strep, staph, E-coli, and swine flu.
