Get matched with top air conditioning pros in Clinton, IL

Q: How do I know if my AC capacitor is bad?

• <div><p>Signs that your air conditioner capacitor is bad or failing include a range of symptoms. The AC unit may not turn on at all, or it might struggle to start before shutting down randomly or in the middle of a cooling cycle. You might hear a humming or banging noise when it attempts to start, or the compressor might hum without the unit actually running. Other indicators include a smell or smoke coming from the unit, the blower circulating room-temperature air instead of cold air, and an unexpected increase in your energy bills.</p></div>

Q: How long should an HVAC damper last?

• <div><p>A damper motor can last up to <b>15 years</b>, but it can wear out more quickly than that if you run your HVAC unit a lot. So you might expect a longer life in a colder climate than if you live in a warmer climate.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean AC coils myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/clean-air-conditioner-coils-help-ensure-efficiency.htm">clean AC coils</a> yourself. Just make sure that the power to your AC system is off before you begin. You&rsquo;ll need some basic tools and supplies, including a soft brush, cloth, screwdriver, and a commercial or homemade cleaning solution. Cleaning your coils will only cost about $10.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to keep using my AC unit when it's frozen?

• <div><p>No, it's not safe to keep using your unit when it's frozen. Not only can running a frozen unit lead to damage, but it can also potentially overheat, making it a fire hazard. Therefore, it's always best to turn off the AC unit as soon as you notice any ice.</p></div>

Q: How long do AC drip pans last?

• <div><p>AC drip pans last five to 20 years, depending on the material. Plastic AC drip pans last five to 10 years, while metal pans can last over 10 years. Plastic AC drip pans are vulnerable to cracking in response to temperature changes. Metal drip pans are prone to rusting over time, which can also lead to leaks. </p></div>

"Within minutes of posting on Angi, I received a call from Tiger and had an appointment for an estimate to replace our Air Conditioner scheduled for the next day. Tiger communicated everything excellently, I received text updates with a photo of the tech "Jalen" and the approximate arrival time. Before leaving, Jalen sent the estimate via email and Tiger has sent a couple of follow up texts / emails asking if I have any questions. I chose a different pro based on cost, but was otherwise happy with the professional and quick service I received from Tiger."
