When your central AC system breaks in Martin County, you’ve got a problem that needs fixing fast.
No cool air. No sleep. No comfort. Just sweat, frustration, and rising energy bills.
At Air Plus, we don’t do band-aid fixes. We get to the root of the problem and get it done right, fast, clean, and built to last. Whether your system is blowing hot air, short cycling, or just dead silent, this guide breaks down exactly what you need to know (and what most contractors won’t tell you).
Why Central Air Conditioning Repairs Can’t Wait
Most people wait way too long to call for AC repair. You think, “It’s just making a weird noise,” or “It’s still kind of working.”
Let me break it down for you:
Every hour you let a small issue linger, it’s getting worse and more expensive.
Neglect leads to:
- Burned-out compressors
- Frozen coils
- Blown capacitors
- Cracked drain pans
- Mold growth in the ducts
By the time you do call a pro, what could’ve been a $200 repair becomes a $2,000 overhaul.
Waiting costs you more. Every. Single. Time.
The Most Common AC Problems We See (And Fix)
In Stuart, FL, the most common central AC issues we handle include:
1. AC Running But Not Cooling
Usually caused by dirty coils, low refrigerant, or thermostat issues. It’s a quick fix if caught early.
2. Short Cycling
Your system powers on and then shuts off after a few minutes, signaling possible issues like improper sizing, faulty sensors, or airflow problems. Ignoring this can shorten its lifespan.
3. Loud Noises or Strange Smells
Squealing? Buzzing? Burning smell? That’s not “just how it sounds.” That’s a sign of electrical or motor problems, and they can catch fire.
4. Frozen Evaporator Coils
Airflow problems, dirty filters, or low refrigerant. Keep running it like that? Say goodbye to your compressor.
5. High Energy Bills Without Better Cooling
If your bills go up and comfort goes down, your system’s efficiency is tanking. It could be the compressor, thermostat, ducts, or all of them.
Here’s What a REAL Repair Process Looks Like
Most techs show up, look around, change a part, and leave.
That’s not how we do it at Air Plus.
Here’s how we handle central AC repairs:
Step 1: Full-System Diagnosis
We check refrigerant pressure, electrical flow, duct pressure, airflow velocity, and drain line integrity, everything.
Step 2: Root Cause Repair
We don’t just swap parts and pray. We fix what’s actually broken and explain it to you without the tech jargon.
Step 3: System Optimization
After repairs, we enhance your system with clean coils, calibrated airflow, and balanced refrigerant levels.
Step 4: Follow-Up Recommendations
We’ll evaluate your system to see if it still has life or if a replacement is needed. No pressure, just facts.
When to Repair vs. Replace Your AC
If your AC:
- Is over 10 years old
- Needs repairs more than once a year
- Can’t cool evenly across rooms
- Makes more noise than a lawnmower
Then, repairing might just be a delay tactic. We’ll give you the truth, not a sales pitch.
If it makes more financial sense to replace it, we’ll show you the numbers. No fluff. No BS.
