Air Conditioning FAQs

  • Why is my air conditioner running but blowing warm air?

    If your AC is running but blowing warm air, it may be due to a clogged air filter restricting airflow, low refrigerant levels from a leak, or a dirty outdoor condenser coil. You should turn the unit off to prevent further damage and call a professional to inspect the system.

  • How much does a new AC unit cost in Missoula?

    The cost to install a new air conditioner varies depending on the size of your home, the SEER (efficiency) rating of the new unit, and whether your existing ductwork requires modifications. We provide upfront, honest estimates and offer flexible financing through HCP Wisetack to make the upgrade easier.

  • How often should I change my AC filter?

    You should check your HVAC air filter every 30 days during the peak summer cooling season and replace it at least every 90 days. A clean filter ensures proper airflow, improves your home's indoor air quality, and prevents the system from overworking.

  • Why is there ice on my AC unit in the middle of summer?

    Ice buildup on your air conditioner is usually caused by restricted airflow from a severely clogged filter or a refrigerant leak that causes the evaporator coil to drop below freezing. This is not normal and requires immediate professional service to prevent permanent damage to the compressor.

  • How long does a central air conditioning system typically last?

    With routine maintenance, a quality central air conditioner typically lasts between 12 and 15 years. If your older system requires frequent repairs or uses outdated R-22 refrigerant, upgrading to a modern unit will be more cost-effective in the long run.

  • Do you offer 24/7 emergency AC repair?

    Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency AC repair services throughout Western Montana to ensure your home stays cool and safe during extreme summer heatwaves.
