Professional AC Repair Makes a Difference

Quality is what we deliver at Russell & Abbott—but this isn’t a philosophy all other HVAC contractors share. If you’ve ever hired someone to repair your AC only to have the system fail only a week or so after it was "fixed," you’ll understand the frustration that comes from amateur repair service. Those promises of cheap rates cover up cheap service, and that ends up costing you more, both in money and loss of comfort.

When you schedule a repair service with our Knoxville air conditioning repair team, we do the job right. We fix air conditioning systems so they stay fixed. We have a team of NATE-certified technicians who take the time to inspect your ailing AC so they can target the work that needs to be done. 

We guarantee our air conditioner repairs with a 90-day warranty on any repair visit.

AC Repair FAQ

What Are the Signs of Air Conditioner Problems?

While it's easy to ignore AC issues, being able to identify them before they get out of hand can save you more money in the long run. If you notice any of the following signs, it's likely you need air conditioner repair.

Signs You Need AC Repair:

If you notice any of these issues, be sure to contact the Knoxville AC repair team at Russell & Abbott Heating and Cooling as soon as possible. 

Why Is My Central AC Running but Not Blowing Air?

If your air conditioner is running but not producing any air, your filter may be clogged. Your air conditioner's air filter is designed to remove dust and debris from the air that circulates around your home. When it becomes clogged, air flow is obstructed which reduces the amount of air being pushed out from system. There could also be an issue with your thermostat, blocked vents, or a dirty condenser unit. 

In order to accurately diagnose the problem, so the correct repair can be performed, it’s best to consult with our trained Knoxville air conditioner repair technicians. We will be able to inspect the unit, determining whether the filter, condenser, thermostat, or another component is to blame. We can also assist with identifying and repairing any additional problem your air conditioner may be experiencing.

Why Did My AC Stop Working?

  • The coils are dirty
  • The motor is faulty
  • The fan is damaged
  • The capacitor is malfunctioning
  • The condensate drain line is clogged
  • The compressor is failing
  • The air ducts are leaking 
  • The unit didn’t receive regular maintenance
  • The AC belt is misaligned 
  • The bearings are worn

What Causes an Air Conditioner to Freeze Up?

It may seem counterintuitive, but air conditioners can actually ice over on very hot days. When an air conditioner freezes up, the system can no longer function as intended. This can happen if the thermostat settings are not at their proper levels, if air flow is inadequate or blocked, or if there are low levels of refrigerant within the system. A frozen AC unit can lead to a lack of air exchange and other problems which can cause damage to the system, so it's important to address these issues as quickly as possible.

As soon as you notice that the air coming from your air conditioner is reduced or that ice is forming on any part of the unit, you should immediately shut off your AC and give us a call. Our Knoxville AC repair team can inspect your system to determine why it's not working properly and resolve it before more serious damage occurs.
