It’s a sweltering day in Rome, NY, and your air conditioning system isn’t helping you stay as cool as you’d like. You’ve checked to make sure windows and doors are shut and that your thermostat is working, but neither of those scenarios are the problem. When your air conditioning system isn’t cooling properly, it’s likely you’ll need AC repair. According to the U.S. Dept. of Energy, there are five main issues that could be causing your unit to not cool your home properly – refrigerant, airflow problems, thermostat issues, drainage problems or a dirty filter.

• If refrigerant is causing the problem, it’s because it’s either low or leaking. When you call Fred F. Collis & Sons in to help with the air conditioning repair needs of your Rome, NY home, we’ll send one of our skilled technicians to repair the leak if there is one, and recharge your AC system with the proper refrigerant.

• If your drain is clogged, the air conditioning system in your Rome, NY home may not cool properly. Fred F. Collis & Sons’ highly trained technicians can easily discover if this is an issue, and help remedy the problem for you quickly.

• A dirty filter can drastically affect the airflow of the air conditioning system in your Rome, NY home and can make the air that does make it into your home dirty, too.

Luckily, changing the filter is a relatively simple fix that most homeowners can do themselves. Of course, Fred F. Collis can help you if you need it.
