Signs your air conditioner needs repair
Memphis summers combine long stretches of 90-degree days with heavy humidity, so an AC that's only a little weak in May can fail by August. Call for service if you notice:
- Warm or lukewarm air from the vents while the outdoor unit runs.
- The outdoor fan isn't spinning, or the unit hums and clicks without starting (often a failed capacitor or contactor).
- Ice on the refrigerant lines or indoor coil, which usually means low airflow or low refrigerant.
- Water around the air handler or a tripped float switch from a clogged condensate drain. This is one of the most common summer calls in the Mid-South.
- Short cycling: the system runs a few minutes, shuts off, then starts again.
- The house feels clammy even at your set temperature, so the system isn't pulling moisture out.
- Breakers tripping, burning smells, or new grinding or squealing noises. Shut the system off and call.
How our AC repair visit works
- Request service by phone or the online form. Property managers can send a work order with unit numbers and access notes.
- Diagnosis first. We check electrical components, refrigerant pressures and temperatures, airflow, the drain, and the thermostat, so we're testing parts, not guessing.
- Clear options and a price before work starts. If a repair isn't worth it on an aging system, we'll say so and give you a replacement quote to compare.
- Repair and verify. We confirm the system is cooling properly before we leave.
- Documentation. You get notes on what we found and what we fixed, with photos on request. Managers can drop them straight into the work-order file.

AC repair for apartments and rental property
Air conditioning calls at a multifamily community come in waves on the first hot week of the year. We set things up for property teams: you get one point of contact, we coordinate resident access, we flag repeat-failure units, and we tell you when it makes more sense to replace than to keep paying for repairs.
