Emergency AC Repair

When the temperature rises, you need an air conditioner you can depend on to keep your family comfortable for the long summer ahead. And when your system fails to provide the cool air you need or stops working altogether, you don’t have time to wait to call for help.

RiverView Mechanical is always ready to serve you with our 24 hour air conditioner repair service.

You might wonder if your air conditioner problem requires emergency service, so here’s a list of common conditions that warrant calling for help as soon as possible.

Unusual Noise: It’s normal for your air conditioner to make ambient noise when operating. However, you shouldn’t hear screeching, grinding, or banging sounds. If you notice your system is running louder than usual, it’s best to call for help instead of risking major system damage.
Warm Air: It’s frustrating fiddling with the thermostat and only getting lukewarm air blowing from the vents. Sometimes, a faulty compressor is the problem, while in other instances, it’s a blockage in the vents. Calling for emergency repairs is the quickest, most effective way to solve it.
Rapid Cycling: Your air conditioner should undergo normal on/off cycles to maintain the proper temperature. So, suppose you notice the system rapidly cycles on and off. In that case, it could be an issue with the thermostat or the electrical system, both of which require the help of a trained professional to fix.
Electrical Issues: Do your lights flicker or dim when using your air conditioner, or do your breakers trip? Electrical issues like these require immediate attention because they could put you at risk of an electrical fire.

When facing air conditioner problems that comprise your safety and comfort, don’t delay! Call RiverView Mechanical for fast, effective emergency AC repair.

Air Conditioner Installation

Even the most well-maintained air conditioners will fail eventually. However, experts agree that planned replacement is better than waiting until your system dies. Below are the most common signs that signal your air conditioner may be ready for the scrap pile.

Weak Airflow

Poor airflow is one of the most common signs your AC is failing. It can be caused by dirty air filters or a failing motor. If it's the latter, make your plans to replace it as soon as possible.

Loud Operation

Although some air conditioners operate more loudly than others, no system should produce annoying or deafening sounds when it's running. If your system is getting louder, it's usually a sign that replacement is on the horizon.

Spike in Energy Bills

You should have a good idea of what your energy bills will be month-to-month. So, if you notice that your electric bill has spiked, it could mean that your air conditioner is no longer running efficiently and using more energy than normal.

You Use Freon

Freon was banned in the US in January 2020 over environmental concerns. So, if your system uses this chemical refrigerant, the only hope you have at getting a recharge is if there's any available supplies left. And, even if there are, Freon is growing more expensive each year, making it cost-prohibitive for most homeowners.

If you’re unsure whether now is the time to replace your furnace, call the experts at RiverView Mechanical for a system inspection and to discuss your options.

Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioners

Many people overlook ductless mini split air conditioners as a viable cooling option, but they offer many benefits over window units and traditional HVAC systems, and here are a few to consider.

No Major Renovations Required

If you don't have ductwork in your home or building and don't want the expense of renovating it to incorporate them, ductless systems are an excellent choice. The only installation required is refrigerant tubes running between the evaporator and condenser, which can typically be done daily.

No Energy Loss

It's estimated that forced air systems lose up to 20% of energy through leaks in the ductwork. That means you're losing cooling power and paying more for service you're not getting. Because ductless systems don't rely on ductwork, they provide more efficient cooling and energy savings.

Security

Window air conditioners are a huge safety risk because they're easy to remove and expose your home to intruders. Ductless systems give you greater cooling without risking your home's security. If a ductless system sounds right for you, call one of our certified experts to discuss your options.
