AC Repair FAQ for Madison Homeowners

How often should Madison homeowners get ac repair?
Given Madison's cold winters averaging 20°f with 51 inches of annual snowfall, most homeowners benefit from ac repair at least once a year. Heavy snow removal from roofs and lakefront properties (Nov–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Madison most need ac repair?
Craftsman and bungalow homes near the UW campus and Victorian homes in Mansion Hill and Orton Park are the most common home types in Madison and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Common causes include low refrigerant (leak), dirty evaporator coil, failed compressor, clogged air filter, or iced-over coil from restricted airflow. A technician diagnostic identifies the specific issue.
Should I repair or replace my AC?
The 5,000 rule: multiply the repair cost by the unit's age. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is often more economical. Also consider: is it over 10–12 years old? Does it use R-22 refrigerant?
How long does AC repair take?
Most repairs are completed in 2–4 hours. Parts availability is the main variable — common parts are often stocked on the truck; unusual components may require ordering.
What's included in an AC tune-up?
A tune-up covers cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing capacitors and contactors, clearing the condensate drain, lubricating moving parts, and measuring system performance.
