Common AC Problems We Fix
No Cool Air or Weak Airflow
If your AC is running but not cooling properly, it could be due to a faulty compressor, low refrigerant levels, or thermostat issues.
Strange noises or smells may signal serious internal problems or electrical faults. We respond 24/7 for emergency repairs.
Thermostat Issues
A malfunctioning thermostat can prevent your AC from turning on or cause erratic temperature control. This issue can often be resolved by recalibrating or replacing the thermostat.
Our technicians test thermostats during every repair visit and recommend replacements if needed.
Refrigerant Leaks
Low refrigerant levels are one of the most common causes of poor cooling performance. A refrigerant leak not only reduces efficiency but can also damage the compressor if left unaddressed.
We use advanced tools to detect leaks, repair damaged lines, and recharge your system to factory specifications.
Electrical Component Failures
Capacitors, contactors, and relays are essential components of your AC unit. When these fail, your system may stop working entirely.
We carry common replacement parts and can typically fix electrical issues on the first visit.
Drain Line Clogs
The condensate drain line removes moisture from your AC unit. If it becomes clogged, water can back up and shut down your system.
We clear drain lines efficiently and check for mold buildup or algae growth that may contribute to future blockages.
Signs You Need AC Repairs
- The AC won’t turn on at all
- Thermostat displays error codes
- Reduced airflow or uneven cooling
- Higher-than-normal energy bills
- Water leaks around the unit
If you notice any of these signs, call Go Pro Plumbing, Heating & Air right away.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How much does AC repair cost?
A: Costs vary depending on the issue, but we always provide a clear estimate before starting any work.
Q: Can I fix my AC myself?
A: While minor tasks like changing filters can be DIY, most AC problems require professional repair to avoid safety risks.
Q: What should I do if my AC smells like burning?
A: Turn off the system immediately and call a licensed technician. Electrical issues can be dangerous.
Q: Is it worth repairing an older AC unit?
A: If your system is over 12 years old and breaking down frequently, replacement may be more cost-effective.
Q: How often should I have my AC checked?
A: Annual maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and extends the life of your system.
Q: What should I do if my AC freezes up?
A: Turn off the system and let it defrost. Then call Go Pro Plumbing & HVAC to inspect for airflow or refrigerant issues.
Q: Can dirty air filters affect AC performance?
A: Yes. Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. We recommend changing filters every 1–3 months.
Q: What causes ice buildup on AC coils?
A: Low refrigerant, restricted airflow, or dirty coils can cause freezing. Our technicians will diagnose and resolve the issue.
Common Causes of AC Breakdowns
Understanding what leads to AC failures can help you avoid future problems. Some of the most common causes include:
1. Lack of Maintenance
Neglecting annual tune-ups increases the risk of breakdowns and reduces system lifespan.
2. Dirty Air Filters
Clogged filters force the system to work harder, leading to overheating and reduced efficiency.
3. Refrigerant Leaks
Even small leaks can significantly impact cooling performance and increase energy costs.
4. Electrical Failures
Worn-out capacitors, relays, and contactors can lead to sudden system shutdowns.
5. Fan Motor Failure
A failing blower motor results in poor airflow and uneven cooling.
Regular inspections help catch these issues early and prevent costly repairs.

What to Do While Waiting for Help
If your AC breaks down, here are a few steps you can take while waiting for our team to arrive:
- Turn Off the System : Prevent further damage by switching off the power at the thermostat or breaker box.
- Check the Thermostat : Ensure it’s set correctly and has fresh batteries.
- Inspect the Air Filter : Replace if dirty to improve airflow.
- Avoid DIY Fixes : Attempting complex repairs without proper tools or training can make the problem worse.
- Document the Issue : Take note of any sounds, smells, or error codes to share with our technician.
How Often Should You Service Your AC?
While emergency repairs are sometimes unavoidable, regular maintenance plays a major role in reducing unexpected breakdowns.
We recommend scheduling AC maintenance once per year, ideally in early spring before temperatures rise. This ensures your system is ready for the summer heat and allows us to catch potential issues before they become expensive problems.
Homes in hotter regions like Sacramento and Stockton may benefit from bi-annual maintenance visits to keep systems running smoothly.
Benefits of Professional AC Repair
Choosing a professional HVAC company like Go Pro Plumbing, Heating & Air offers several advantages:
- Accurate Diagnoses : We use industry-standard tools to pinpoint issues quickly.
- Long-Lasting Repairs : We use manufacturer-approved parts and follow best practices.
- Safety First : Electrical and refrigerant-related issues can be hazardous if handled improperly.
- Warranty Protection : Many manufacturers require professional repairs to maintain warranty coverage.
- Peace of Mind : Knowing your AC is fixed right the first time gives you confidence in extreme weather.
AC Repair vs. Replacement: Which Is Right for You?
Deciding whether to repair or replace your AC depends on several factors:
Age of the Unit
Most AC units last between 10–15 years with proper care. If your system is approaching this range and requires frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective.
Frequency of Repairs
If you’re calling for repairs multiple times a season, it may be time to consider upgrading to a newer, more efficient model.
Cost of Repair
If the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new system’s price , replacement is usually the better investment.
Energy Efficiency
Older systems run less efficiently than modern units. Upgrading to a high-efficiency AC can lower utility bills and improve indoor comfort.
Comfort Level
If your current system struggles to keep your home cool even after repairs, a new installation might be the best solution.
Types of AC Systems We Repair
We service and repair all types of residential cooling systems, including:
Central Air Conditioning
The most common type of AC system in Northern California homes. These use ductwork to distribute cool air throughout the house.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Ideal for homes without ductwork or for room-specific cooling. We repair both indoor and outdoor units.
Heat Pump Cooling Mode
For homes using heat pumps for heating, we optimize the cooling mode for summer efficiency.
Window and Portable Units
While we specialize in central systems, we also offer diagnostics and basic repairs for window and portable AC units.
No matter what kind of system you have, our technicians have the knowledge and experience to get it running again fast.
Local Rebates and Incentives
Many utility providers in Northern California, including PG&E, SMUD, and SCE , offer rebates for qualifying HVAC upgrades. Even some repair-related improvements, such as replacing outdated thermostats or upgrading to high-efficiency filters, may qualify for partial incentives.
We help you navigate the rebate process and apply for available discounts to make your AC repair more affordable.
