Trusted AC Repair Technicians Serving Holly Springs
You may find yourself pondering whether a concern with your AC warrants the expertise of a professional. On occasion, the matter may be as trifling as a requisite air return filter replacement, given that the accumulation of dirt and dust obstructs airflow, causing your system to labor strenuously. Nevertheless, it is crucial to recognize that air conditioning units are intricate systems rife with various potential vulnerabilities.
How do you know it’s time to call us for service? If you check your air filter and thermostat and determine that neither is the cause, some of these signs could indicate it’s time to schedule an inspection from a trained HVAC technician:
- High energy bills, even if you aren’t using your AC as much
- Having to set your thermostat lower to keep your home cool
- Poor indoor air quality, including dust, humidity, and mold
- Having an older system that is 10 years old or more
- Strange noises or smells when the AC is running
If your system is 15 years old or more or requires frequent repairs, you may want to consider replacing your system with a newer, more energy-efficient model. Our technicians can help you assess whether you need a new system and provide a free quote for a system that meets your needs and fits your budget.

Air Conditioning Repair FAQ’s
Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?
First, check and change the air filter. Warm air can also be caused by a refrigerant leak, frozen coil, or a failing compressor. If the filter doesn’t fix it, call for service.
Why does my AC freeze up?
Restricted airflow, dirty coils, or low refrigerant can cause ice buildup. Turn the unit off and check the filter. Running the unit while frozen can cause further damage, so shut it off and call for service if it doesn’t thaw.

Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling?
An AC system may run without cooling properly because of a dirty air filter, thermostat issue,
frozen evaporator coil, low refrigerant, blocked outdoor unit, electrical problem or failing
component. Because several problems can cause the same symptom, a professional diagnosis is
the best way to identify the actual cause.
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
First, confirm that the thermostat is set to Cool and that the desired temperature is below the
current indoor temperature. Check the air filter and make sure the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves or debris. If the system continues blowing warm air, turn it off and schedule service to
avoid making a potentially serious problem worse.
Why does my air conditioner keep turning on and off?
You can safely check a few simple things:
Make sure the thermostat is set to Cool
Replace a dirty air filter
Check that the HVAC breakers have not tripped
Make sure supply and return vents are open and unobstructed
Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
Do not remove equipment panels or attempt electrical or refrigerant repairs yourself.
Why is there ice on my AC unit?
Ice can form because of restricted airflow, a dirty filter, a blower problem or a refrigerant-related
issue. Turn the cooling system off and allow the ice to thaw. Do not chip or scrape the ice away.
If the system freezes again, schedule an inspection.
Why is water leaking around my indoor AC unit?
Water near the indoor unit may come from a clogged condensate drain, damaged drain pan,
frozen coil or another drainage problem. Turn the system off if water could damage your home
or reach electrical components, then contact an HVAC professional.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
The right choice depends on the system's age, condition, efficiency, repair history and the cost of
the current repair. A smaller repair may make sense for a dependable system, while replacement
may provide better long-term value when an older unit needs a major repair or has repeated
problems. Alexander Services can explain the available options so you can make an informed
decision.
How long do air-conditioning systems usually last?
Many central air conditioners and heat pumps last approximately 10 to 15 years, although actual
service life varies based on installation quality, maintenance, usage and operating conditions. Age alone does not determine whether a system must be replaced, but it is an important factor
when comparing repair and replacement.
How often should my AC system be maintained?
Most homeowners should have their cooling system professionally maintained once a year,
ideally before the hottest part of the season. Regular maintenance can identify developing
problems, support efficient operation and reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns.
How often should I change my HVAC filter?
Many filters should be checked monthly and replaced every one to three months, but the correct
schedule depends on the filter type, system usage, pets, allergies and indoor air conditions.
Follow the filter manufacturer's directions and replace it sooner when it looks dirty.
Can leaves and debris affect my outdoor AC unit?
Yes. Leaves, grass clippings, pine straw and plants can restrict airflow around the outdoor unit
and make the system work harder. Keep the area clear and trim plants to leave approximately
two feet of open space around the equipment. Turn the system off before clearing debris, and
never remove panels or reach inside the unit.
How much does AC repair cost?
AC repair costs depend on the cause of the problem, the parts required and the system's
condition. An accurate price usually requires a technician to diagnose the equipment first.
Alexander Services will explain the problem and recommended options before repair work
moves forward.
Do you repair both central air conditioners and heat pumps?
Alexander Services services common residential and commercial cooling systems, including
central air-conditioning systems and heat pumps. Call (919) 886-4822 with your system
information if you have questions about a particular type of equipment.
