Fixing What's Keeping Your Air Conditioner Off
AC Repair Services in Conroe
When warm air starts blowing from your vents in the middle of July in Conroe, the problem usually isn't the thermostat setting. You're dealing with a compressor that won't engage, a refrigerant leak, or a blower motor that's stopped moving air through the ducts. Cold Front A/C of The Woodlands repairs central air conditioners and split systems in residential homes throughout Conroe, focusing on fixes that restore full cooling capacity instead of masking the issue temporarily.
We diagnose common air conditioning failures including weak airflow, short cycling, refrigerant loss, frozen evaporator coils, and outdoor units that hum but won't start. Using pressure gauges, multimeters, and airflow meters, we identify the root cause and explain what needs to be repaired or replaced. Fast response times matter most during peak summer demand, when a broken air conditioner turns a home into an oven within hours.
If your air conditioner isn't cooling or won't turn on, contact Cold Front A/C of The Woodlands to schedule a repair visit in Conroe.
We start by testing voltage at the disconnect, checking capacitor performance, and measuring refrigerant pressure at both the high and low sides. In Conroe, where condensers run in full sun, we also inspect contactor points for pitting and look for signs of thermal overload that can prevent the compressor from restarting after a shutdown.
Once the repair is complete, you'll notice the air coming from the vents drops back to the 55- to 60-degree range, the system cycles on and off at normal intervals, and the indoor temperature holds steady without constant adjustments. A properly functioning air conditioner removes humidity along with heat, so you'll also feel less stickiness in the air.
We replace worn capacitors, fix refrigerant leaks with brazing or fitting replacement, swap out failed contactors, and clean clogged drain lines that cause water backup. If a repair won't extend the system's life by at least two more seasons, we'll tell you upfront and explain why replacement makes more sense.
What We Check and What Gets Fixed
Most people want to know what's wrong, how much it will cost, and whether the repair will last before they agree to move forward with the work.
It's Normal to Have Questions About Repair Costs
What causes an air conditioner to blow warm air?
Warm air usually means low refrigerant, a bad reversing valve on heat pumps, or a compressor that's running but not building pressure. We test refrigerant levels and compressor output to confirm the cause.
How long does a typical AC repair take?
Most repairs finish within one to two hours. Refrigerant leak repairs or compressor replacements can take longer, especially if we need to recover old refrigerant or braze new fittings.
Why does my air conditioner freeze up?
Frozen coils happen when airflow drops too low, usually from a clogged filter, dirty evaporator coil, or a failing blower motor. Low refrigerant also causes freezing because the coil temperature drops below normal operating range.
What areas around Conroe do you serve?
We provide AC repair throughout Conroe and nearby communities. If you're within the greater Conroe area, we can schedule a service visit.
How do I know if a repair is worth the cost?
If the repair costs less than half the price of a new system and your unit is under 10 years old, repairing usually makes sense. We provide cost comparisons and help you decide based on your system's age and condition.
