What You Can Check Before You Call
A few quick checks can save you a visit:
- Thermostat — make sure it's set to cool and the setting is below room temperature
- Air filter — a clogged filter restricts airflow and can freeze the coil
- Breakers — check that the AC breaker hasn't tripped
- Outdoor unit — clear away leaves or debris blocking the unit
If the system still isn't cooling, or you see ice on it, turn it off and call us. Running a frozen system can cause more damage.
Why AC Systems Fail in Houston
Houston gives an air conditioner a long, hard season. High humidity makes the system work harder and keeps the condensate drain busy, which is why clogged drain lines are so common here. Long run times wear on motors, capacitors, and contactors, and a system that's low on refrigerant usually has a leak that needs finding, not just a top-off.
Repair or Replace?
A single repair on a younger system usually makes sense. If your system is past 10 to 15 years old, breaks down repeatedly, or needs a major component, replacement may be the better value. We'll give you a straight answer, and if replacement is the right move, see our AC installation and replacement service.
Common Questions
FAQ
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
The most common causes are a dirty air filter, a frozen coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor, or a dirty outdoor unit. Check the filter and thermostat first. If that doesn't fix it, turn the system off and have a technician diagnose it.
Do you offer emergency AC repair?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for urgent AC problems, such as no cooling during extreme heat or water leaking from a unit. Call us directly so we can help as quickly as possible.
Why is water leaking from my AC?
It's usually a clogged condensate drain line, which is common in humid climates, or a frozen coil that's melting. Turn the system off to limit water damage and call us.
Will you tell me the price before starting the repair?
Yes. The technician diagnoses the problem and goes over your options and the price before starting any work. There is a service fee for repair visits. We don't publish flat rates because every system and problem is different.
Which AC brands do you repair?
Safe Air is a Lennox Premier Dealer and an authorized Trane dealer. Call us with your system's brand and we'll confirm we can help.
