Air Conditioning Repair And Maintenance, Manassas, VA

Common Central Air Conditioning Problems

Clogged air filters are among the easiest AC repair calls to avoid. Dirty filters restrict airflow through the system, which forces the AC to work harder and less efficiently and can eventually cause the evaporator coil to ice over and stop cooling entirely. During the peak of a Manassas or Woodbridge summer, filters should be checked monthly and replaced when dirty. Beyond filter issues, the Parrish team handles the full range of central air conditioning repairs across Northern Virginia, including:

Other common air conditioning repairs performed by the Parrish team include:

• Refrigerant leaks: Refrigerant is responsible for cooling the air, so a leak can lead to reduced cooling capacity and warm air blowing from your vents.
• Failed capacitors: When your capacitor stops working, your air conditioner’s compressor and fan motores will not be able to start.
• Frozen evaporator coils: Have you noticed ice on your air conditioner? Your evapaporater coils can freeze and restrict cooling performance when airflow is blocked or if there is a refrigerant leak.
• Faulty contactors: If your air conditioner has stopped running entirely, faulty or failed contactors could be to blame.
• Thermostat malfunctions: When your thermsotat stops responding or shows an inaccurate temperature reaying, our team can get to the root of the issue and repair or replace your thermostat.
• Clogged condensate drain lines: Have you noticed puddles near your AC? Your condensate drain lines can get blocked by dirt and debris, which causes water to overflow from their air handler.
• Blower motor failures: If your home feels stuffy and your AC’s airflow is restricted, something could be wrong with your blower motors.
• System failures: If your AC stops working, we can evaluate for compressor failures and electrical faults in the disconnect box or control board.
