Timely AC Replacement Can Reduce Maintenance Costs

The decision to replace your air conditioner isn’t always easy. It’s a significant investment. This is why we always do our best to provide our customers with more cost-effective repairs when possible. However, if your older AC unit is on its last legs and showing signs of failure, replacing it will offer more long-term advantages. A new air conditioner can help you enjoy lower energy bills, provide superior airflow, and leave you with greater peace of mind.

Causes and Repair Options

Faulty wiring

A wiring problem can cause your AC to stop working. Our experts will inspect your equipment and address any wiring or circuit breaker issues.

Broken fan belt

These can become damaged or worn over time (similar to tires wearing out on a car). This is usually indicated by a squealing noise. Our technicians can check for this during routine AC maintenance.

Refrigerant leak

Do you hear hissing noises or notice foul smells coming from your AC? Chances are there’s a refrigerant leak. Avoid adding refrigerant on your own; an HVAC professional will know the appropriate amount to get your unit working at optimal levels again.

Frozen evaporator coil

This is often caused by poor circulation or lack of maintenance. You will know if your evaporator coil is frozen by the warm air leaving your unit.

Defective motor or compressor

Your AC unit’s motor or compressor can wear out over time. After a careful inspection, we will carry out repairs or replace the defective parts.

Contact our team of HVAC professionals today at (573) 777-3660 to schedule an appointment and ensure your AC system operates at its best. Rely on us for all your air conditioning repair and maintenance needs.

FAQ

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

There could be several reasons why your AC is running but not cooling. It could be due to a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a refrigerant leak, a malfunctioning compressor, a faulty thermostat, or issues with the condenser unit. It’s best to contact a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and resolve the problem. They will have the expertise to identify the specific issue and provide the necessary repairs or adjustments to restore your AC’s cooling functionality.

Why does it cost so much to fix an AC unit?

The cost to fix an AC unit can seem high due to various factors. Firstly, the complexity of AC systems requires skilled technicians with specialized knowledge and training, which contributes to labor costs. Additionally, the cost of replacement parts and materials can vary depending on the specific make and model of the unit. Diagnostic tools, equipment, and overhead expenses also factor into the overall cost. 

The need for timely repairs to prevent further damage or system failure may lead to higher costs. It’s important to remember that investing in professional AC repairs ensures long-term reliability and efficient cooling.

How long do AC units last?

The lifespan of an AC unit can vary depending on several factors. On average, a well-maintained air conditioning unit can last between 10 to 15 years. However, this can be influenced by factors such as usage patterns, climate conditions, installation quality, and maintenance practices. 

Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help extend the lifespan of the AC unit. It’s important to consult with HVAC professionals to assess the condition of your specific unit and determine if it requires repairs or replacement as it approaches the end of its lifespan.

VERY professional! Informed me of everything they were doing as they were doing it. Touched almost whole house. Took all day, but the guys worked without a break. In other words, they worked their butts off and do the best job I have ever seen a plumbing company do! Call them, it's worth every penny.

Gary Buck was our plumbing service technician. I needed a new water softener installed. He was very pleasant and friendly. I had a lot of questions and requests, and he was very responsive. He helped us figure out the best option. He also noticed that we needed a new water heater for our new softener to work as effectively as possible. I also asked him to install a new faucet and garbage disposal. He did a lot of work in a timely manner. I highly recommend him, and I will definitely request him again when I have any plumbing issues!Dillan was our HVAC service technician. Our furnace was not working. He was very friendly, personable, and had great communication throughout the process. He was able to fix the issues he found in a timely manner.

As a new homeowner, it's can be a bit intimidating building new relationships with service providers in town. I needed my garbage disposal replaced, and spent weeks reading reviews and doing searches for someone to come and complete the task. I was super impressed with MasterTech, and my Service Technician, Gary Buck, and will absolutely be a return customer for any future needs. He was respectful, friendly, and knowledgeable not only about my disposal, but other areas that may need future service. Importantly, he wasn't overly pushy or trying to upsell things I didn't need, but provided helpful information for things to consider down the line to ensure I stay on top of home maintenance. It was easy to schedule an appointment, the communication leading up to the appointment was great, and it was also great to be able to have the consultation and service completed in one trip. My return business has definitely been earned, as well as referring you to others!

Yonmar A came to my house ON THE DAY I CALLED – great scheduling from Katy! I needed a DEEP toilet unclogging and an outside faucet replacement because the line had burst.From start to finish, Yonmar explained everything simply and knowledgeably. He wore the booties over his shoes when inside and was very considerate of my property. Additionally, after carrying out exceptionally professional repairs, Yonmar performed a thorough cleanup of the work areas.I believe the pricing was quite fair for the materials and certainly, for the quality of the work performed.Yonmar is a credit to the MasterTech Company and is exactly what one is looking for when in need of a service field technician. I am sure he excels in a variety of maintenance and repair conditions - just turn to him for those “too tough” household service jobs.I look forward to seeing Yonmar again, or one of the other available MasterTech service technicians, in my home when I have a future need.

Very trust worthy! Would not hesitate to call again. Professional with integrity!
I do almost all of my own drain clean-out and repair. After power snaking my lines, I was unable to clear the clog. I had previous issues with collapsed lines and feared the worst. I called Mastertech to see if they could clear the lines. After attempting to clear the lines with no success, they recommended having their camera crew take a look. I met with Chris Gilpin and one other team member. After a lengthy and thorough inspection, with their help, I better understood where lines ran under the building and what drains went to kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry. What I learned allowed me to know, I did not have a collapsed line allowing me to clear the clog and get everything flowing again. They were fantastic and were committed to figuring out the problem and a solution. They also figured out which tenant was causing the issue. THANK YOU!
Dylan and McKenzie make a great team and did a fantastic job listening to the trouble we were having, explaining their trouble shooting process as they went, and making sure that the options for resolution were explained and understood before moving forward with the solution. They were quick, friendly, and professional - highly recommend and trust!
Fast, excellent, professional, knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Both of my recent needs were after hours. Out of the three plumbers that I called, Mastertech was the only one that responded and was able to help me that day. That’s huge considering we are renovating the main level of our house, and five of us are living in our basement with one bathroom, and the water was off due to a leak. There prompt service was much appreciated.
