AC Not Cooling
Unit runs but blows warm or barely-cool air. Most common: low refrigerant from a slow leak, dirty condenser coil, or a failing compressor. We test pressure and recharge.

10 Most Common AC Problems
What We Fix on Atlanta Air Conditioners
Tell us the symptom and we’ll match it to the failed component. Every issue below is covered by our same-day diagnostic and flat-rate quote.
AC Won’t Turn On
Press the power button and nothing happens. Failed start capacitor, broken thermostat, or a tripped breaker from a stalled compressor. We trace the power circuit.
Loud Buzzing or Humming
AC hums but won’t start, or runs with a constant rattle. Failing start capacitor, loose fan blade, or a debris-jammed condenser fan blade.
AC Leaking Water Inside
Puddle on the floor or sill from the indoor unit. Clogged condensate drain line, frozen evaporator coil, or a tilted install pulling water inward.
AC Freezing Up
Frost or ice on the evaporator coil. Caused by a dirty filter, blocked airflow, low refrigerant, or a bad blower motor. Thaw and fix the root cause.
Mini-Split Showing Error Code
LG E1, Mitsubishi P8, or Daikin H6 — error codes point to specific sensors and pressures. Our techs decode and replace the failed sensor or board.
AC Cycling On and Off
Compressor short-cycles every 1–2 minutes. Dirty condenser coil, low refrigerant, failing contactor, or a thermostat positioned too close to the unit.
Bad Smell from AC
Musty or burning smell from the unit. Mold growth on the evaporator (humid Atlanta climate) or burning insulation from a failing motor. Stop the unit and call us.
Remote / Buttons Don’t Work
Remote unresponsive or buttons stuck. Dead remote batteries first — if that’s not it, the IR receiver on the unit failed or the keypad ribbon cable broke.
Compressor Won’t Run
Fan turns but the compressor never kicks on. Failed run capacitor, burned compressor windings, or a tripped overload protector. We test and diagnose safely.

Real Atlanta Customers
What AC Owners Are Saying
Four reviews from Atlanta-area homes whose ACs we serviced in the past 60 days.
★★★★★
“Our LG mini-split threw an E5 error during a 95-degree heatwave. Tech showed up the same afternoon, found a failed outdoor sensor, and had the unit cooling within 90 minutes. Lifesaver.”
★★★★★
“Frigidaire window AC in our bedroom hummed but wouldn’t cool. Capacitor was bad. Tech replaced it in 20 minutes for $145 all-in. Cooling like brand new.”
★★★★★
“Our Honeywell portable AC kept flooding the floor. Drain pan was tilted from a moved unit. Tech leveled the unit, cleared the line, and gave us a maintenance schedule. No more leaks.”
★★★★★
“Mitsubishi multi-zone mini-split wouldn’t cool one of three rooms. BJE found a slow refrigerant leak, sealed it, recharged the system, and now all three zones cool evenly.”

Real Questions, Real Answers
Atlanta Air Conditioner Repair FAQ
Common questions Atlanta homeowners ask about AC problems — answered honestly.
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Most common cause is low refrigerant from a slow leak. Other causes: dirty condenser coil, failing compressor, or a stuck reversing valve on heat-pump units. Our tech tests pressure and recharges if needed.
How much does AC repair cost in Atlanta?
Most AC repairs in Atlanta fall between $140 and $460 all-in. Capacitor and thermostat fixes are at the lower end. Refrigerant recharge, fan motors, and mini-split work run higher. Compressor replacement is highest. Always quoted in writing first.
Do you repair window AC units?
Yes. We service 5,000 to 15,000 BTU window ACs from every major brand. Capacitor swaps, fan motor replacements, and condensate fixes are completed same-day. Most window AC repairs land between $140 and $260.
Why is my mini-split leaking water?
Almost always a clogged condensate drain line — algae and mold block the line in Atlanta’s humid climate. We clear the line, flush with cleaner, and check the install slope. Fast fix.
Can you recharge refrigerant in my mini-split?
Yes — if there’s a leak, we have to find and seal it first. Recharging without finding the leak just wastes refrigerant. Our techs are EPA Section 608 certified for safe refrigerant handling on R410A and R32 systems.
Why does my AC freeze up on hot days?
Counter-intuitive but common: a dirty filter blocks airflow, the evaporator coil drops below freezing, and the unit ices over. Other causes: low refrigerant or a failed blower motor. We thaw, clean, and fix the root cause.
Is it worth repairing an old window AC?
For window ACs under 7 years old, repair makes sense if the part is under $200. Window ACs over 12 years are often cheaper to replace — new units are 30–40% more energy efficient. Honest advice every visit.
How long does an AC repair take?
Most AC repairs are completed in 60 to 120 minutes on-site. Refrigerant leak detection and recharging can take 2 hours. Mini-split outdoor unit work runs longer. Tech runs a full cooling cycle before leaving.
