Ah, summer… the days are longer, the weather is warmer, and if you’re lucky enough to have central air conditioning, your home is likely a place of refuge from the hot Virginia temperatures. But what do you do if you’re trying to escape the heat and your AC fails to function? The first instinct of many is to expect the worst: replace your entire AC system.
However, there are several less serious repairs that can be rather easily made to get the cold air pumping through your home once more. Common air conditioning issues that can be fixed include improving the airflow, ensuring a proper power supply, cleaning the coils, and recharging the refrigerant.
