Alvarado FAQ

Can a struggling AC still be repaired, or does it need replacement?+

It depends on the cause and the system's age and repair history. Many of these warning signs point to a fixable component issue, not automatic replacement. A proper diagnostic identifies which situation you're actually in.

Is it safe to keep running an AC that's showing warning signs?+

Usually yes for a short period, but running a system with ice on the coil or a refrigerant leak can make the underlying problem worse. If you're seeing multiple signs at once, it's worth turning the system off and having it looked at rather than waiting.
