Q: Is an AC unit with a higher SEER rating worth it?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning an AC replacement, choosing an AC with a higher SEER rating may save you money in the long run. Tax credits could cover as much as 30% of the job, and you&rsquo;ll notice smaller utility bills (particularly if you live in a hot climate where you need to constantly run the AC). Generally, you can expect to pay between <b>$350 and $1,500 </b>for each SEER rating increase. Weigh the cost against your typical utility bill to figure out what&rsquo;s worth it to you.</p></div>

Q: Is unfreezing your AC a DIY project?

• <div><p>Unfreezing an AC unit is not a DIY project unless the problem is a dirty air filter. Changing out an air filter is easy for homeowners, but otherwise, trying to repair ductwork, refill refrigerant, or replace a blower fan motor are tasks best left to the pros. Otherwise, you could cause further damage to your cooling system or even harm to yourself. </p></div>

Q: What happens when an AC compressor overheats?

• <div><p>When a compressor gets overheated in central air systems or heat pumps, it can still cool your home for a while until it eventually gives out. If the compressor is chronically overheated and no one addresses the root cause, it will create an incredibly expensive problem when your entire HVAC system breaks down and stops working altogether.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to add Freon to an AC?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fair-price-r-22-refrigerant.htm">cost to add Freon to an AC</a> ranges from <b>$100 to $350</b>. It can increase up to <b>$600</b> for large AC units requiring much more coolant. The cost also depends on how much refrigerant your unit needs. If only a small amount of Freon leaked out, your cost would be on the lower side. A complete replacement of all the required refrigerant can get expensive.</p></div>

Majano Heating and AC came out on schedule. They found that the AC breaker had tripped, and guessed that this was caused by the compressor going bad. I felt stupid for not checking the breaker myself. They charged me $60 for a call-out fee, which I suppose is about average. They also quoted a...
