Common ac repair issues we solve in Placentia

Warm air from the vents

Usually low refrigerant or a failing compressor. We check subcool/superheat first — if charge is off, there's a leak; we locate it with electronic detection.

AC trips the breaker

Typically a shorted compressor winding, failing capacitor, or undersized wire. We measure amp draw against nameplate + verify 230V on both legs.

System runs but never gets cool

Dirty evaporator, frozen coil (low charge or restricted airflow), or a failing condenser fan motor. All three are first-visit repairs.

Water leaking around indoor unit

Clogged condensate drain in 90% of cases. Flush with vinegar, clear the trap, inspect secondary drain pan for safety.

AC short-cycles every 3-5 minutes

Oversized equipment, failing capacitor, or low refrigerant charge. We confirm with a run-capacitor microfarad reading.
