FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Should I keep running the AC if it's blowing warm?
No. If the coil is frozen, running it can damage the compressor. Set the thermostat to Off and the fan to On so the ice melts, then call.
What makes the outdoor unit hum without the fan turning?
Often a failed capacitor or contactor, both common on Miami systems that run most of the year. Turn the system off at the thermostat and call.
Why does my AC keep leaking water?
A clogged condensate drain line is the usual cause. Clearing it, and keeping it clear with maintenance, stops the overflow.
