Air Conditioning & Heating Repair FAQ

Do you offer 24 hour AC repair and emergency heating repair?

Yes. Breathe Clean answers calls 24/7 for emergency AC repair, emergency air conditioning repair, emergency heating repair and same day HVAC repair, including nights, weekends and holidays.

How quickly can a technician arrive?

Most customers get same-day or next-day service. Emergency arrival in metro areas is typically 2 to 4 hours; rural areas receive a firm same-day window.

Why is my AC not blowing cold air?

The most common causes are a clogged filter, a failed run capacitor, a frozen evaporator coil, a dirty condenser, a bad contactor, a failed condenser fan motor or low refrigerant from a leak.

Why does my furnace keep short cycling?

Restricted airflow from a dirty filter or closed vents, an oversized furnace, a failing limit switch, a dirty flame sensor or a thermostat placed in a draft. Short cycling should be diagnosed quickly because it stresses the heat exchanger.

How much does AC repair cost?

Capacitors and contactors usually run in the low hundreds; fan motors, coils and compressors cost more. Every repair is quoted flat-rate in writing before work begins.

Should I repair or replace my system?

If the repair exceeds roughly half the cost of a new system, or the unit is over 12 to 15 years old with repeated failures or obsolete R-22 refrigerant, replacement is usually the better long-term value.

Do you service heat pumps and ductless mini-splits?

Yes. We repair and install heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, ductless mini-splits, boilers, gas and electric furnaces and all central air conditioners.

How often should I change my air filter?

Every 30 to 60 days for 1-inch filters and every 6 to 12 months for 4 to 5-inch media filters. Airflow restriction is the number one cause of avoidable HVAC failures.

How often do I need a tune-up?

Twice a year is ideal: an AC tune-up in spring and a furnace tune-up in fall. Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to honor parts warranties.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are licensed and insured in every state we serve, and all technicians are background-checked and uniformed.

Do you offer financing on new systems?

Yes. Financing options are available on qualifying HVAC installations, and we help you find applicable utility rebates and tax credits.
