When the air conditioning quits in Waco, TX, the house tells you fast, and so does everyone in it. The part that fails most often is the humble run capacitor: a few dollars of electronics that starts the compressor and fan, weakens quietly for years, and finally lets go on a brutal afternoon, leaving the outdoor unit humming but the fan still. Right behind it come pitted contactors that no longer pass power cleanly, condenser fan motors with dry bearings, refrigerant leaks that slowly bleed the system's capacity away, and evaporator coils that ice over solid whenever airflow collapses behind a clogged filter.
When the heat goes out, see Furnace Repair.
Warning Signs for AC Repair
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. These are the signals our technicians see most often:
- Water dripping from the indoor unit or showing up on the ceiling below
- Higher summer bills even though the house still feels warm and humid
- A burning smell or repeated breaker trips when the AC starts
- The system short-cycling every few minutes without cooling the house
- Frost or ice forming on the copper lines or the indoor coil
- Vents blowing air that is barely cooler than the room
- Clicking or humming outside with no fan movement
- Hissing or bubbling sounds that suggest a refrigerant leak
