Why Is My AC Blowing Warm Air in Garner?
The Problem
A homeowner in Garner noticed that their air conditioning system was blowing warm air instead of cooling the home.
What We Found
Travis discovered that the compressor in the AC unit had failed, which was preventing the system from cooling properly.
The Fix
Travis installed a new compressor and successfully pulled a vacuum to ensure the system was sealed properly. He rewired the necessary parts and replaced the capacitor to meet the specifications of the new compressor. After completing these tasks, he checked the home to confirm that cold air was circulating effectively.
The Result
The air conditioning system was restored to full functionality, providing cool air throughout the home.
Pro Tip
If your AC starts blowing warm air, it might be a failing compressor. Listen for unusual noises or check if the unit is running but not cooling. Addressing it early can prevent a complete breakdown.

Why Does My AC Keep Tripping the Breaker in Garner?
The Problem
A homeowner in Garner was experiencing issues with their AC unit, which kept tripping the breaker shortly after being turned on.
What We Found
Travis found that the breaker was tripping due to the condensing unit outside. Upon testing, he discovered that the compressor windings were spiking, causing high amp draws that led to the breaker tripping within seconds.
The Fix
Travis determined that a new compressor or a complete unit replacement would be necessary. He planned to verify the warranty status and consult with colleagues Ryan and Kyle to provide an accurate estimate for the replacement by the next morning.
The Result
The homeowner was informed about the need for a replacement and awaited the estimate for further action.
Pro Tip
If your AC trips the breaker repeatedly, it could indicate a serious issue like a failing compressor. Avoid resetting the breaker multiple times as it can cause further damage. Instead, have a professional inspect the unit promptly.

Why Is My AC Blowing Warm Air in Garner?
The Problem
A homeowner in Garner noticed that one of their two outdoor AC units was making a loud humming noise and the other was not cooling effectively.
What We Found
Travis found that the condenser capacitor was blown, which was preventing the compressor from starting.
The Fix
Travis replaced the faulty capacitor, but the compressor still failed to start. Upon further inspection, he determined that the compressor was no longer functional and provided the homeowner with a quote for a replacement.
The Result
The homeowner received a quote for a new compressor to restore their AC's cooling capability.
Pro Tip
If your AC unit starts humming loudly, it might be a sign of a failing capacitor or compressor. Addressing these issues early can prevent more costly repairs down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair in Garner
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Garner
How quickly can you get to my home for an AC repair?
For standard AC repairs in the Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and surrounding areas, we typically offer same-day or next-day service. During peak summer months (June-August), demand is highest, so we recommend calling early in the day. Emergency repairs are prioritized and dispatched as quickly as possible.
How much does an AC repair cost?
Repair costs depend on the specific problem and parts needed. A capacitor replacement might run $150-$300, while a compressor replacement can range from $1,500-$2,500+. We charge a diagnostic fee to identify the problem, then provide a flat-rate repair quote before proceeding. The diagnostic fee is waived if you approve the repair.
Is it worth repairing my older AC system?
As a general guideline, if a repair costs more than 50% of a new system and your equipment is over 10 years old, replacement often makes more financial sense. We'll give you an honest assessment factoring in your system's age, repair history, efficiency, and the cost of the specific repair needed.
Why did my AC stop working on the hottest day?
This is extremely common. Peak heat days push your system to maximum capacity for extended periods. Components like capacitors, compressors, and fan motors that are already weakened by wear are most likely to fail under this extreme stress — similar to how a worn tire is most likely to blow out on a long highway drive.
