Q: Can an AC leak be fixed?

• <div><p>AC leaks are common, and an HVAC pro can usually fix them. You may be able to resolve some leaks on your own, but a professional HVAC technician should handle most AC leak repair. If left ignored, an AC leak could cause serious damage to your system or leave you with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-water-damage.htm">expensive water damage</a>, usually leading to more costly repairs or replacements.</p></div>

Q: Why does my air conditioner turn off by itself at night?

• <div><p>Air conditioners can stop working in the middle of the night for many reasons. Your local power grid might shut down late at night. Power surges can also trip your breakers if too much power is being used in the area at the time. If your AC is connected to a digital thermostat, it gets naturally cooler at night, so the outdoor temperature might dip below the automated setting to turn the cooling system off.</p></div>

Q: Should you buy a house with a 15-year-old HVAC?

• <div><p>You can buy a house with a 15-year-old HVAC system if you inspect the system for performance and budget for a replacement within the next three years. You can also negotiate the price with the sellers. Ask to look at the unit&rsquo;s maintenance records and energy bills for the last two years to determine the shape of the HVAC system and its operating costs. Spend time in each room of the house to gauge if the HVAC keeps the home at a consistent temperature throughout. </p></div>

Q: Is it OK for my AC to run all day?

• <div><p>If you have central air conditioning, it&rsquo;s fine to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-ac-can-run-continuously.htm">run your AC all day</a> if that&rsquo;s what you want&mdash;as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don&rsquo;t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we&rsquo;ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren&rsquo;t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time. </p></div>

Q: How do I protect my air conditioner in the winter?

• <div><p>You can protect your air conditioner in the winter by turning off the power at the thermostat and performing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-spring-air-conditioning-tips.htm">routine HVAC maintenance in the spring</a>. Regular maintenance, cleaning, and repair of your AC unit helps protect it and extend its life span. If you have a window AC unit, remove it from the window and store it in a dry place during the winter. Window units cannot withstand freezing temperatures. Keeping them in your window also allows cold air to seep into your home. </p></div>
