Rapid repairs we handle all the time around Little River:
- AC not cooling / blowing warm air - Often caused by a low refrigerant charge, a restricted filter, a dirty or iced evaporator coil, or a failed outdoor component. We verify charge (superheat/subcool), check airflow, thaw coils safely if needed, and solve the cause, not just the effect.
- Short cycling (constantly turning on and off) - Can stem from a miscalibrated thermostat, restricted returns, or safety devices tripping because something else is wrong. Short cycling eats energy and strains compressors — we correct the underlying issue to restore smooth operation.
- Frozen evaporator coil - Common in humid weather. Usually low airflow or low charge. We defrost without damage, restore airflow, repair leaks if present, and align settings to reduce refreeze risk.
- Outdoor fan not spinning - Frequently a capacitor or fan motor failure. Our techs test components precisely and carry common parts to finish the repair on site.
- Water at the air handler / pan - The typical culprit is a clogged condensate drain, especially during high-humidity runs. We clear and flush the line, treat for growth, confirm the trap, and can add a float switch to prevent ceiling or closet damage.
- Unusual noises or electrical smells - Grinding or squealing motors, buzzing contactors, or wiring that’s been overheated need immediate attention. We isolate and correct the source before it becomes a major, expensive failure.

Common “No-Cool” Problems We Fix
-
It’s running, but the air is warm
Likely causes: Low refrigerant from a leak, iced evaporator, restricted filter, weak outdoor fan, or contactor failure.
Our fix: Verify charge accurately, locate and repair leaks when present, restore airflow, replace failing electrical parts, and test the system end-to-end.
-
AC won’t turn on
Likely causes: Tripped breaker, failed capacitor/contactor, thermostat or safety switch trip (e.g., a full condensate pan).
Our fix: Identify the exact electrical or safety fault, replace or recalibrate, and ensure the system operates within spec.
-
Frozen indoor coil
Likely causes: Low airflow (dirty filter, collapsed return, blower issues) or low refrigerant charge.
Our fix: Thaw safely, correct airflow/charge, treat drains, and prevent refreeze.
-
Water leak / puddle near the unit
Likely causes: Clogged condensate line, improper trap, microbial growth in the drain, rusted pan.
Our fix: Clear and flush lines, treat for growth, add a float switch, replace pans/traps if compromised.
-
Sticky rooms / humidity stays high
Likely causes: Oversized equipment, insufficient run time, poor airflow balance, thermostat profiles that favor speed over drying.
Our fix: Optimize fan profiles and airflow, suggest duct/return adjustments, and recommend whole-home dehumidification where it pays off.

- Refrigerant leaks and low charge
- Airflow problems (dirty blower, undersized returns, damper issues)
Because Little River sits just inland, homes can still see salt drift and storm-related power events. We protect your investment with:
- Protective coil coatings where appropriate
- Surge protection for electronics during lightning season

The Little River “Coastal Reality” — salt drift, humidity, storms
Even inland, salty breezes and river air can accelerate corrosion on outdoor coils and hardware. Humidity drives microbial growth in condensate lines and makes rooms feel sticky even at set temperature. Summer thunderstorms can spike control boards and weaken electrical components. Our solution is a practical bundle:
This isn’t theory — it’s what keeps Little River homes comfortable all summer with fewer breakdowns.
- Clean coils and optional coatings to slow corrosion
- Drain line clearing and treatment + float switches for safety
- Airflow/thermostat tuning for better dehumidification
- Surge protection where it makes sense
- Maintenance that actually prevents the predictable failures
This isn’t theory — it’s what keeps Little River homes comfortable all summer with fewer breakdowns.
