Common AC Problems We Repair in Colorado Springs

Our technicians diagnose and repair all air conditioning issues. Here are the most common problems we see in Colorado Springs homes:

AC Won't Turn On

Usually caused by a failed capacitor, bad thermostat, tripped breaker, or blown fuse. Often a simple fix that takes 30-60 minutes to repair and gets your system running again.

Not Cooling Properly

AC runs but doesn't cool. Typically caused by low refrigerant from a leak, dirty condenser coils, frozen evaporator coils, or compressor issues. Most repairs cost $300-$800.

Refrigerant Leaks

Low refrigerant reduces cooling capacity and efficiency. Colorado's altitude and temperature swings can stress connections. We locate leaks, repair them, and recharge the system properly.

Frozen Evaporator Coils

Ice buildup on indoor coils indicates airflow problems, low refrigerant, or dirty filters. Requires diagnosis to identify root cause and prevent recurrence.

Compressor Failure

The heart of your AC system. Compressor failure often means replacement consideration, especially on older units. We provide honest guidance on repair versus replacement.

Condenser Fan Issues

Outdoor fan motor failure prevents heat dissipation. Common in Colorado due to dust, debris, and temperature extremes. Usually requires motor or capacitor replacement.

Clogged Condensate Drain

Water leaks from indoor unit indicate clogged drain lines. Colorado's dry climate can cause algae growth when humidity does occur. Simple cleaning resolves most issues.

Thermostat Problems

Inaccurate temperature readings, unresponsive controls, or communication failures between thermostat and AC. Often a simple calibration, battery replacement, or upgrade.

Strange Noises

Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds indicate worn bearings, loose parts, or debris in the unit. Immediate repair prevents further damage to expensive components.

Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

We recommend repairing if your AC is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than 50% of replacement. Replace if the AC is over 12 years old, needs frequent repairs, has a failed compressor, or repair costs exceed $1,200. We'll give you honest advice based on your specific situation - we never push unnecessary replacements.

Do you work on all air conditioner brands?

Yes, we repair all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, York, Amana, Ruud, and more. Our technicians are factory-trained and carry common parts for most brands on their trucks for faster repairs.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

Common reasons an AC runs but doesn't cool include: low refrigerant from a leak, dirty condenser coils blocking heat transfer, frozen evaporator coils from airflow issues, failed compressor not pumping refrigerant, or thermostat problems. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause and provide repair options during the first visit.

Do you offer a warranty on AC repairs?

Yes, all our AC repairs come with a 1-year labor warranty and parts are covered by the manufacturer's warranty (typically 1-5 years depending on the part). If the same issue recurs within the warranty period, we'll fix it at no additional charge.

What brands of air conditioners do you service?

We service all major AC brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, Ruud, Goodman, Amana, American Standard, York, Coleman, Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and others. Whether you have a high-efficiency variable-speed system or a standard single-stage AC, our technicians have the training and tools to repair it properly.

How can I prevent AC breakdowns in Colorado Springs?

Prevent AC breakdowns by: changing air filters monthly during cooling season, scheduling annual spring tune-ups, keeping outdoor condenser unit clear of debris and cottonwood seeds, ensuring proper airflow around vents, and addressing small issues before they become major problems. Our $89 AC tune-up can prevent 85% of summer breakdowns.

Upfront, Honest Pricing

No surprises, no hidden fees. After diagnosing your AC, we provide clear pricing before starting any repair work. You'll know exactly what it costs and what we're fixing. If we find multiple issues, we'll prioritize what's urgent and what can wait. You make the final decision.

Experienced, Certified Technicians

Our NATE-certified technicians have 15+ years average experience repairing air conditioners in Colorado Springs. They understand how Colorado's altitude, temperature swings, and environmental factors affect AC systems. That experience means faster diagnosis and reliable repairs the first time.

Fully Stocked Service Trucks

Our technicians carry common AC parts for all major brands on their trucks. Capacitors, contactors, thermostats, and refrigerant are always on hand. That means most repairs are completed during the first visit without waiting for parts orders. We maintain significant inventory specifically for Colorado Springs' most common AC models.

No-Pressure Repair Recommendations

When your AC needs repair, we give honest recommendations. If replacement makes more financial sense than repair, we'll tell you. If a minor repair will keep your system running reliably for years, we'll recommend that instead. You'll never feel pressured into unnecessary work or upgrades.

1-Year Labor Warranty

Every AC repair comes with a 1-year labor warranty. If the same problem occurs within a year, we'll fix it at no charge. Parts are covered by manufacturer warranty. That's our commitment to quality workmanship and your peace of mind.

Our AC Repair Process

Here's exactly what happens when you call Winterrowd HVAC for AC repair in Colorado Springs:

1

Call for Service

Call (719) 752-0903 or schedule online. We'll ask about your AC symptoms, gather basic information, and schedule a service appointment. Emergency calls get immediate dispatch - we'll give you an estimated arrival time and call 30 minutes before we arrive.

2

Complete Diagnosis

Our certified technician arrives with a fully stocked service truck. They'll listen to your description of the problem, inspect both indoor and outdoor units, test components, check refrigerant levels, and identify the root cause. Most diagnoses take 30-45 minutes for thorough troubleshooting.

3

Upfront Pricing & Approval

Before touching any tools, we'll explain exactly what's wrong, what needs to be repaired, and provide upfront pricing. If we find multiple issues, we'll prioritize them and let you decide what to fix now versus later. No work starts until you approve.

4

Professional Repair

Our technician completes the repair using quality parts and proper techniques. We follow manufacturer specifications and EPA regulations for refrigerant handling. Most repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. If we need to order parts, we'll let you know the timeline and keep you updated.

5

Testing & Performance Check

After repairs, we thoroughly test your AC to ensure it's operating correctly and efficiently. We check refrigerant pressures, verify proper airflow, measure temperature differentials, and test all safety controls. Your system must pass our performance standards before we leave.

6

Review & Maintenance Tips

We'll walk you through what we repaired, answer your questions, and provide maintenance tips to prevent future issues. You'll receive documentation of the work performed and your 1-year labor warranty information. We'll also recommend when to schedule your next tune-up.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Air Conditioner?

Sometimes repair makes sense, sometimes replacement is smarter. Here's our honest guidance to help you decide:

Factor Repair Makes Sense Consider Replacement
AC Age Under 10 years old 12+ years old
Repair Cost Under $800 $1,200+ repairs
Repair Frequency First major repair 3+ repairs in 2 years
Energy Efficiency 14+ SEER rating 10 SEER or lower
Refrigerant Type Uses R-410A Uses R-22 (phased out)
Comfort Cools home evenly Can't maintain temperature
Component Failed Fan, capacitor, coils Compressor failure

Our Honest Recommendation

Use the 50% rule: If the repair cost is more than 50% of a new AC AND your system is over 10 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense. For example, if a $1,400 compressor replacement is needed on a 13-year-old AC with R-22 refrigerant, a $3,500 new high-efficiency system is a better investment.

We'll always give you honest advice based on your specific situation. We'd rather repair your AC fairly than sell you an unnecessary replacement. But we'll also tell you when replacement is the smarter financial decision.

What Colorado Springs Customers Say About Our AC Repairs

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our customers say:

★★★★★

"Called Winterrowd when our AC stopped working during a 95-degree day. They had a tech here within 3 hours. Found a failed capacitor, replaced it on the spot, and had us cooling again in 30 minutes. Cost was $225 - very fair. The tech was professional and explained everything clearly. Highly recommend!"

David R.

Powers Corridor, Colorado Springs

★★★★★

"Our AC was blowing warm air. Winterrowd diagnosed a refrigerant leak, repaired the leak, and recharged the system. They also cleaned the coils which were covered in cottonwood and checked everything else. The price was exactly what they quoted - no surprises. Been working perfectly ever since."

Maria S.

Briargate, Colorado Springs

★★★★★

"My 14-year-old AC needed a $1,400 compressor replacement. The tech was honest and recommended replacement instead since a new high-efficiency AC was only $2,800 and would cut my cooling bills. Appreciated the honesty rather than just doing the repair. They installed a new system the next week and it's amazing."
