The Colony 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.

Yes. The guidance in this article applies to residential HVAC systems throughout The Colony and the rest of our service area. If you want a read on your specific system, call us at (817) 935-8540 or request an estimate and mention you're in The Colony.
