When your AC goes out, you need help in a hurry, but just how quickly can an AC unit be fixed? That largely depends on the type of issue you’ve experienced and how quickly you can get a technician to service the issue.
Air conditioner repairs can vary significantly, and you don’t always know the problem until you have a technician out to diagnose it. Sometimes it’s a simple fix like replacing the air filter. Other times it could be an issue with the evaporator coils being frozen over or a clogged drain condensate line. The more complex the issue, the longer it takes to repair.
One way to thwart potential breakdowns is to have an HVAC technician come out to conduct regular AC inspections and maintenance on your unit. They can help you identify potential issues early so you don’t run into an emergency situation. It’s generally less expensive to preventively repair a problem than wait for a breakdown. And it will help your system operate most efficiently to boot.
Most AC repairs can be completed within a few hours. Our team at Mario’s Air Conditioning and Heating carries the majority of what we need for most repairs right on our truck. This includes many universal replacement parts, fan motors, refrigerants, relays, capacitors and other items to help us clean, repair or replace AC components. If it’s a larger issue, it could span a day or two, but the work should always be discussed before any action is taken. Depending on the age of your unit and the extent of the issue, you may decide to consider a replacement instead of a repair. Consult with your HVAC partner to understand your options and assess if there are any better alternatives based on your situation.
Our team at Mario’s AC is happy to give you an onsite diagnosis to help you understand your repair options, their associated costs and how long they will take to make. Call us today at 727-843-9598 to schedule an AC inspection for your Tampa-area property.
