Common AC Problems We Resolve
Air conditioning failures in Colorado Springs, Cimarron Hills, Briargate, Northgate, Stratmoor, CO, and the greater Colorado area homes typically fall into several categories, each requiring specific expertise and repair approaches. Refrigerant leaks remain one of the most frequent issues we encounter, often manifesting as reduced cooling capacity, ice formation on evaporator coils, or unusually high energy bills. Our technicians use advanced leak detection equipment to pinpoint even the smallest breaches in refrigerant lines, then perform permanent repairs that restore system efficiency while protecting the environment from harmful refrigerant releases.
Electrical problems represent another significant category of AC repairs, encompassing failed capacitors, worn contactors, faulty thermostats, and damaged wiring. These issues often cause intermittent operation, complete system shutdowns, or dangerous conditions that require immediate attention. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we maintain extensive inventories of genuine replacement parts, enabling us to complete most electrical repairs during the initial service visit. Our emergency service ensures that when your AC fails during extreme weather, you won’t wait long for professional assistance.

Every AC repair at Advantage Heating and Cooling follows a systematic approach designed to deliver lasting solutions rather than temporary fixes. Upon arrival, our technicians perform initial safety checks, verifying electrical connections and ensuring no immediate hazards exist. We then conduct thorough system diagnostics using state-of-the-art testing equipment, documenting findings and explaining issues in clear, understandable terms. Our free estimates provide transparent pricing before any work begins, allowing you to make informed decisions about your repair options.
Following diagnosis, we present repair recommendations along with explanations of how each proposed solution addresses identified problems.
