We Repair All AC Makes & Models

Wade Heating & Air is proud to be a Trane Comfort Specialist, but our technicians are experienced with all major brands, including Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman. The types of AC systems we work on are:

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair

Got questions about your air conditioner or what to expect from a repair? We’ve answered some of the most common ones below:

The honest answer is that it depends on a few factors, including the age of your system, how frequently it’s been breaking down, whether your energy bills have been going up, and the cost of repair relative to the system’s remaining value. When we come out, we’ll give you a straight answer based on what we actually see, not what makes us the most money.

Some of the most frequent culprits we see include:

  • Low refrigerant from a slow leak
  • A failed capacitor or contactor
  • A dirty or frozen evaporator coil
  • A malfunctioning blower motor
  • Electrical issues or wiring faults

Some of these are quick fixes; others take a little more time. Either way, our technicians are experienced in diagnosing the root cause.

Most common repairs can be completed in a single visit, often within a couple of hours. More complex issues, or situations where a part needs to be ordered, may take a bit longer, but we’ll always communicate the timeline with you upfront so you know what to expect.
