Accurate Diagnosis for Air Conditioning Repair Burnaby

Good AC repair starts with diagnosis, not guessing. When a system “runs but doesn’t cool,” the cause can be electrical, airflow-related, or refrigerant-related. A quick part swap can hide the real issue and bring the problem back during the next heat wave.

We test the system step-by-step: power and controls, compressor and fan operation, airflow across the coil, temperature split, drain performance, and refrigerant pressures when appropriate. Then we explain what failed, why it failed, and what the fix changes.

We repair AC systems in detached homes, townhomes, condos, and strata buildings throughout Burnaby. We’re used to tight mechanical rooms, rooftop units, and access rules that can slow down inexperienced contractors.

Data-Driven Notes for Burnaby AC Repair

Failures we see most often

In Burnaby, common repair calls involve electrical start issues (capacitors/contactors), clogged drains and water leaks, airflow restriction from dirty filters or coils, and fan motor problems. These failures often show up first during the first major hot stretch of the season.

What affects repair cost

Repair pricing depends on access (condo/strata rules, rooftop units, tight spaces), electrical troubleshooting time, part availability, and whether the issue is a simple control failure or a deeper mechanical fault. We explain the cost drivers before work starts.

How to prevent repeat breakdowns

The biggest preventable causes are restricted airflow and neglected drains. Keeping filters clean, clearing outdoor debris, and catching small electrical issues early helps your AC run cooler, longer, and with fewer emergency calls.

FAQ: Air Conditioning Repair Burnaby

Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Common causes include restricted airflow, a dirty coil, a failed capacitor or fan motor, or a refrigerant-related problem. Proper testing confirms the cause so you don’t waste money on the wrong fix.
What causes AC coils to freeze up?
Freezing usually comes from low airflow (dirty filter, blocked return, coil restriction) or a refrigerant problem. The key is to fix the cause, not just thaw the ice.
Why is water leaking from my indoor unit?
Leaks often come from a clogged drain line, a failed drain pump, or an installation/drainage issue. We inspect the drain path, pan, and safety shutoffs to stop water damage.
Is it safe to keep running an AC that trips the breaker?
No. Breaker trips can indicate a failing capacitor, motor, wiring issue, or compressor load problem. Continuing to reset and run the system can damage components and create safety risks.
How fast can you respond for AC repair in Burnaby?
We aim for fast scheduling during hot periods. Response time depends on call volume and access rules for condos and strata. When you call, we’ll give you the closest available window and what to do while you wait.
What should I check before calling for AC repair?
Check thermostat mode (cool), set temperature, and the filter condition. If you see ice, turn the system off to prevent damage. If a breaker trips more than once, stop and book a professional repair.
