Auburn Hills A/C Repair FAQ

Why would my A/C break?

There are a number of reasons your air conditioning unit can fail. A common example is overuse. If an air conditioner is simply used too much it can break and fail. Ironically, this is known as "freezing up." Another example are the individual pieces breaking. If enough tiny pieces break, it can cause the unit to break down as well. The one reason we can help you with in taking preventative measures is proper maintenance. Call us in for a tune up every now and then to take the prophylactic steps necessary to give your air conditioner a longer lifespan.

Should I just replace my A/C instead of fixing it?

That's a valid question, especially if your current model is old or inefficient. And given that newer systems today can be up to 60% more effective than older air conditioners, it's certainly a viable and cost effective measure. And again, if your unit is not properly maintained, it can cut down its lifespan considerably. So yes, it's a perfectly acceptable question to ask. Especially as a newer unit could even mean lower energy bills, due to providing a higher output with the same amount of power.

What other preventative measures can I take?

Seeing as an electric model can last anywhere from twelve to fifteen years and a gas unit could last anywhere from twenty to twenty five years, there are many things you can do to get the most bang for your buck. As a general rule of thumb, you'll want your unit to have an annual checkup. This goes a long way in ensuring you get as many years out of your air conditioner as possible.
