When a home air conditioner stops cooling the way it should, Denver summers can feel long. Federal HVAC Denver helps homeowners understand common cooling problems, what an inspection involves, and how to weigh a repair against replacing the equipment.

Equipment & Performance

Useful to know about your system

A refrigerant level that is low usually points to a leak that should be located before simply adding refrigerant.

A dirty indoor coil restricts airflow and reduces cooling capacity.

An oversized or undersized system can short cycle and struggle to dehumidify.

Answers to questions that come up often with this service.

Warm air from the vents, weak airflow, ice on the lines, short cycling, and higher than usual energy use are all common signs that an AC system should be inspected.

That depends on the age of the unit, the cost of the repair, and how often it has needed service. An inspection helps compare the options for your situation.
