At Sensible Cooling, we provide fast, reliable AC repair throughout Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale. Our NATE-certified technicians diagnose problems quickly and implement lasting solutions to get your cool air flowing again.

Common AC Problems in Boca Raton Homes

Florida's subtropical climate creates unique challenges for air conditioning systems. Here are the most frequent issues we repair:

Refrigerant Leaks

Warning Signs:

• Reduced cooling performance

• Hissing sounds near the indoor unit

• Frozen evaporator coils

• Rising energy bills

Refrigerant leaks not only reduce your system's cooling capacity but can damage vital components. Our technicians use advanced tools like UV dye and electronic detectors to locate leaks, properly seal them, and recharge your system with the correct refrigerant.

Electrical Component Failures

Warning Signs:

• AC won't turn on

• System trips circuit breakers

• Burning smells near the unit

• Components that feel hot to the touch

Florida's frequent thunderstorms and power fluctuations can damage sensitive electrical components. We inspect and repair or replace capacitors, contactors, relays and other electrical parts to restore proper function. This proactive approach helps prevent system breakdowns during peak heat.

Clogged Drain Lines

Warning Signs:

• Water leaking around indoor unit

• Musty odors

• System shutting down unexpectedly

• Increased indoor humidity

Boca Raton's high humidity causes condensation to form on your evaporator coil. When drain lines clog with algae or debris, water can damage your home and trigger safety switches that shut down your system. Our indoor air quality services can help prevent these issues.

Frozen Evaporator Coils

Warning Signs:

• Visible ice on refrigerant lines

• Warm air from vents

• System running continuously without cooling

• Unusual water leakage when ice melts

Frozen coils often indicate airflow problems or refrigerant issues. Our technicians thaw the system, clean coils, check refrigerant levels, and inspect for airflow restrictions. Proper maintenance helps prevent this common problem.

Faulty Thermostats

Warning Signs:

• Inconsistent temperatures

• System not turning on/off properly

• Display issues or blank screen

• Short cycling (turning on and off frequently)

Thermostat problems cause comfort issues and waste energy. We diagnose and repair thermostat issues or recommend smart thermostat upgrades that improve comfort and efficiency.

The Most Common AC Repairs We Perform

Capacitor Replacement

The capacitor provides the electrical boost needed to start your compressor and fans. Florida's heat and power fluctuations cause these components to fail frequently.

Refrigerant Leak Repair

We locate and repair leaks, then recharge your system with the proper refrigerant.

Drain Line Cleaning

Algae and mold easily grow in Florida's humid environment, blocking condensate drains. We clear blockages and install algae-prevention treatments.

Fan Motor Replacement

When blower or condenser fan motors fail, your system can't move air properly. We replace these with quality components matched to your system specifications.

Control Board Repair

Modern AC systems rely on circuit boards to control operation. Lightning strikes and power surges can damage these sensitive components.

Contactor Replacement

This component controls the flow of electricity to your compressor and condenser fan. When it fails, your system won't run properly.

Cost Factors in AC Repairs

Several factors influence repair costs:

System Age
Older units often require more extensive repairs or specialized parts.

Equipment Brand
Some manufacturers' components cost more than others.

Repair Complexity
Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor cost less than complex refrigerant leak repairs.

Accessibility
Units in tight spaces or difficult-to-reach areas require more labor time.

Time of Service
Emergency or after-hours repairs typically cost 20-50% more than standard service calls.

For systems over 10 years old with major component failures, we'll provide honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more economic sense.

Prevent Future AC Problems

The best repair is the one you never need. After fixing your immediate issue, we can help prevent future problems:

Regular Maintenance
Our maintenance program includes bi-annual tune-ups that catch small issues before they become big problems.

Duct Inspection
Many cooling problems stem from duct issues like leaks or blockages that restrict airflow.

Thermostat Upgrades
Smart thermostats provide better temperature control and alert you to potential problems.

Filtration Improvements
Our indoor air quality solutions keep your system cleaner and running more efficiently.

Adding a whole-home dehumidifier reduces strain on your AC system while improving comfort.
