Air Conditioning Repair

It’s inevitable. It’s a hot Memphis day in the summer and your air conditioner gives out, or even worse, it may be the most bitterly cold day of the winter when your furnace won’t come on. Choate’s Air Conditioning and Heating is ready to make you another one of our happy customers. We also offer after hours and weekend services for when those emergency situations spring up!

Again, most air conditioning failures can be avoided with routine maintenance. Corrosion, blockages, dirt buildup and other minor problems escalate into major issues that compromise the performance and lifespan of your AC system. If your system is performing well, take advantage of the situation by scheduling a routine maintenance appointment with Choates. If you’re experiencing any of the problems listed above or another issue, don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule a free consultation.

AC Repair Services 

At Choate's, we believe it's important to have your air conditioning repair service number on speed dial. This is because a working air conditioner is an important component of your overall well-being. It provides: 

• A certain level of comfort: The only place you should be sweating it out is on the track or in the gym. When you're home, it should be a comfortable temperature.
• Indoor air quality: If your air conditioner is on the fritz, it can lead to low air quality. Our technicians are trained to check the important components that lead to a working air conditioner and a clean one. Filter checks are standard operating procedure with us. 
• A prolonged life span: Keeping your air conditioner serviced extends its life span. Regular repairs and maintenance can detect potentially huge problems before they happen. 
• Energy efficiency: If you notice your energy bills gradually creeping up with no other obvious reason, such as increased prices or new appliances, it's worth checking your AC. While the AC is known to be heavy on utilities, a sudden jump could indicate that something is wrong with the unit. Our technicians will check that the unit is installed correctly and let you know if your unit is old or no longer energy-efficient. We'll also check whether your unit has dirty filters, duct leaks or failing components, such as the capacitor. 

How Much Does an AC Repair Cost? 

The cost of an AC repair will depend on the extent of the repair. We'll need to consider the cost of replacement parts and how much labor is required to fit the parts. However, at Choate's, we offer a Fam Plan Preventative Maintenance Plan for $24.95 per month that covers a single system, including one thermostat, one air conditioner and one furnace. Additional items are added at $5 per month each.

• The contract is for a year and reverts to a 30-day contract thereafter. 
• We'll do the initial maintenance check and troubleshooting. 
• You'll receive priority service as needed. 
• We provide comprehensive customer support. 

Do You Need AC Repair? 

There are some warning signs that it's time to call in the services of an AC repair company: 

• The level of cooling is no longer sufficient.
• Your AC unit makes a lot of noise. 
• You experience electrical outages when you turn on the AC. 
• Your AC doesn't want to switch on at all.
• There's water pooling under the unit.
• Your energy bills are increasing without any other possible explanation. 
• The AC unit smells bad. 

Why Is Your Air Conditioner Not Cooling? 

Our technicians can identify the possible reasons your air conditioner is no longer cooling: 

• Your unit has dirty filters, which reduces the airflow.
• The condenser is faulty or blocked and can no longer let out the hot air. 
• The refrigerant levels are low and can't cool the volumes of air fast enough. 
• The unit may have a broken thermostat, which is supposed to regulate the air temperature. 
• Blocked vents and coils restrict airflow, which reduces the air conditioner's efficiency. 
• The compressor is faulty, which reduces its ability to circulate refrigerant.
• The system could have faulty wiring, which may result in shorting.
• The evaporator coils have frozen over. 

How Do You Unfreeze Your Air Conditioner? 

It's possible to defrost your air conditioner. Simply turn off the thermostat and turn the fan on. This will allow the unit to thaw out. 

How Do You Reset Your Air Conditioning Unit? 

It's important to consult your air conditioner's manufacturing handbook. However, most air conditioners have a reset button. Simply press and hold this button for 3–5 seconds until the unit has reset.
