What homeowners want to know.

What are the Signs You Need AC Services?+
Your air conditioning system rarely fails without warning — in most cases, it sends clear signals that something isn't right long before a complete breakdown occurs. For homeowners in Rancho Cordova, where summer temperatures can be unrelenting for months at a time, recognizing these warning signs early and acting on them promptly can mean the difference between a minor service call and a costly emergency repair. At
JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air
, we encourage homeowners to watch for the following indicators that their AC system needs professional attention:
  • Weak or Reduced Airflow: Air that trickles rather than flows steadily from vents often points to a compressor issue, blocked ducts, or a failing blower component.
  • Warm Air from the Vents: An AC system blowing room-temperature or warm air may have a refrigerant issue or a compressor problem requiring immediate evaluation.
  • Unusual Noises: Grinding, rattling, or squealing sounds coming from the unit signal mechanical wear or loose components that should not be ignored.
  • Frequent Cycling: A system that turns on and off more frequently than normal is often struggling to maintain efficiency and may need servicing.
  • Rising Energy Bills: A sudden spike in electricity costs without increased usage often indicates the system is working harder than it should to maintain comfort.
  • Excess Moisture or Leaking: Unusual condensation or pooling water near the unit can indicate a refrigerant leak or a blocked drainage line.
Catching these signs early is the key to avoiding larger, more expensive repairs down the road. Contact

 today to schedule a professional AC evaluation and keep your Rancho Cordova home cool and comfortable all season long.
How Often Should I Replace My AC Filter?+

Standard one-inch filters should be replaced every 30 to 90 days. The exact period will depend on usage, pets, and allergies. If you have pets or allergies, lean toward monthly. A clogged filter will make your system work harder and can even cause it to freeze up.

Why Is My AC Running but not Cooling?+

Common causes of this issue include:

  • Low refrigerant (due to a leak)
  • A failed capacitor
  • A frozen evaporator coil
  • A faulty compressor

.
How Long Should an AC Unit Last?+

In our region’s climate, you can expect a well-maintained cooling system to last 12 to 15 years. Some may last over 20 years, but their efficiency is likely to drop significantly after 15. If your system is 10 years or older and needs frequent repairs, you ought to start planning a replacement.

What Temperature Should I Set My AC to in the Summer?+

The Department of Energy recommends setting your air conditioner between 75° and 78°F when you're home. But comfort is personal, so you should set it to a temperature that feels best.

You’ll waste the most energy by making dramatic temperature swings. Don’t crank it to 65° when you get home. Instead, investing in something like a programmable thermostat, which will gradually bring down indoor temperatures, is an energy-smart idea.

Why Does My AC Freeze Up?+
Restricted airflow or low refrigerant are the usual culprits. These things can allow ice to form on your evaporator coil. If that happens, turn off your system, let it thaw completely, and replace your filter. If it freezes up again, you likely have a refrigerant leak that requires professional attention.

.
How Do I Know If My AC Is the Right Size?+

If your system runs constantly but never reaches the set temperature, it’s likely undersized. On the other hand, short cycling, humidity problems, and uneven temperatures are signs of an oversized unit.

To get a properly sized system, you must perform a load calculation. This is something our team would be glad to help you with at
JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air
.
