More often when a homeowner is told they should replace their HVAC unit I'm able to repair it. Our goal is to fix your air conditioner but only if it makes sense. To get a second opinion, give me a call.

Here at Sierra Aire we don't play games. When your heater/ A/C stops working our goal is evaluate the system as a whole, make necessary repairs, and address any maintenance concerns. After doing the necessary A/C Repair we also want to educate you on what kind of preventive a/c maintenance and furnace maintenance you can do yourself in between visits.

If your air conditioner stopped working first go though this checklist before calling for A/C Repair Service.
It may be something simple you can resolve.
This example would be for a split system where the A/C is outside on the ground and the furnace and evaporator coil is in the house.
Is this a sudden problem where the a/c was working great and now suddenly stopped cooling?
Most likely problem is -Compressor failing to start due to weak capacitor/ lacking a proper start capacitor.
Outside unit turning on but air conditioner not cooling (performance has been declining over time)?
Before turning on your Air Conditioner, here are a few do it your self maintenance steps you should do.
It's best to do this in the spring on a warm day before you need your A/C.
With the unit turned off, wash off the outside unit coil with water.
Spray water on the perimeter of the outside coil until the water draining off of the unit and its clear.
After the air conditioner has been running for about five minutes, the thicker of the two refrigerant lines leaving the condensing unit should start to get cold (feel the metal not the insulated part), If not cold after 5 minutes it may be low on refrigerant, if freezing you may have an air flow restriction (call for service).
Before Having a New AC Installed You May Want To Get A Second Opinion From A Company That Only Does Repairs.
Getting a second opinion before getting a new system or doing a costly repair might just save you a ton of money.
Over the years I've found people often are convinced they should replace their unit well before it needs to be.
Lets deconstruct a few common reasons given to replace your system and what might be the counter argument.
Red Flag 1 Your 20 yr old unit is getting to the end of its lifespan and they only last so long.
Below is a rough draft of a template I am working on to help stay balanced and organized without becoming stagnant.
It's worked really well for me and my personality and I'm wondering if it could help others in the pursuit of being productive and effective in whatever you are doing in life.
I've developed a very simple plan to follow for gaining control over your life and becoming your own Master.
This process is designed to be a tool for developing a Morning Routine and a process for organizing how you get things done in your life.
The nice things about most modern heaters is that they do not require much maintenance.
Call for professional service if you have any concerns or if it's been years since being looked at.
Turn on the heater, if its the first time open some windows as the dust will burn off of the heat exchanger.
Check your smoke alarms and get a good carbon monoxide detector with a digital readout.
Most detectors I see in people's home are low quality and won't alarm until levels are above 400 ppm (parts per million).
