We've seen every issue a residential cooling system can develop. These are the problems our clients call us about most often.
Restricted airflow is almost always caused by a fouled evaporator or condenser coil that has not been cleaned in one or more seasons. When coil fins are blocked with dust and debris, the system struggles to move the volume of air it was designed for. We clean both coils during the service visit and restore the airflow the system needs to cool effectively.
A system that runs continuously without reaching the set temperature usually has low refrigerant charge, a dirty coil, or a failing capacitor. All three conditions reduce the system's ability to transfer heat efficiently, and none of them trigger an obvious error or alarm. We test refrigerant pressure, check electrical load, and clean the coil to identify which factor is at play.
A compressor or fan motor drawing too much current is the most common reason an AC unit trips its circuit breaker repeatedly. This usually points to a weakened capacitor, a dirty condenser coil forcing the compressor to work harder, or early motor wear. Ignoring repeated trips can lead to a full compressor failure, which is far more costly than addressing the root cause early.
A blocked condensate drain line is the leading cause of water pooling or dripping from an air handler or indoor head unit. When the line clogs with algae or debris, condensation has nowhere to go and overflows the drain pan. We clear the drain line during every service visit and check the pan and surrounding area for any signs of moisture damage.
A start or run capacitor that is losing capacity is usually responsible when the compressor hesitates or the system fails to start at all. Capacitors degrade gradually and often show no visible sign of failure until they stop working entirely. We test capacitor health during AC service and replace any unit that is reading below the acceptable tolerance before it leaves the system stranded.
Rattling, grinding, or squealing sounds during cooling usually indicate a loose fan blade, a worn blower bearing, or debris caught in the outdoor unit. These noises are easy to dismiss but typically signal a component that is heading toward failure if left unchecked. We inspect the fan assembly, motor mounts, and blower during the service visit and address whatever is causing the noise.
A thermostat that cycles the system on and off unpredictably or fails to hold the target temperature is often out of calibration or has a communication issue with the outdoor unit. Wiring faults and incorrect setpoint configuration can produce the same symptoms. We test thermostat communication, verify the control sequence, and recalibrate or replace the device if it is the source of the problem.
An air conditioner running longer than it should to maintain the set temperature is almost always doing so because of reduced efficiency: dirty coils, low refrigerant, a restricted filter, or an aging compressor working harder than normal. The increase in energy use often shows up before any other noticeable problem. A thorough service visit addresses the most common efficiency drains and restores the system to proper operating condition.
A musty or stale odour from the vents when the AC runs is usually caused by biological growth on the evaporator coil or in the drain pan, both of which stay damp during normal operation. This is especially common in systems that have missed one or more service cycles. We clean the coil and drain assembly during the service visit and eliminate the source of the odour.
I called unsure whether we needed the annual plan or just a single checkup. Gas Services Edmonton actually talked me out of the plan since our system is only two years old. Appreciated the honesty instead of an upsell.
During our annual visit the Gas Services Edmonton technician found a small leak that hadn't caused any noticeable symptoms yet. Fixed it on the spot before it became a bigger issue. Glad we were on the plan for this exact reason.
The coil cleaning took longer than the standard visit because of how much buildup had accumulated over the years. The technician explained why and didn't rush through it. House feels noticeably cooler now.
I've had three visits now with Gas Services Edmonton, two on the plan and one standalone call, and every single one followed the exact same thorough process. No corners cut just because it wasn't a plan visit.
We had no idea our manufacturer required proof of annual service until they mentioned it. Now we have a written record every year in case we ever need to file a claim.
The technician walked me through refrigerant checks, coil cleaning, and electrical testing before starting anything. Made the whole visit feel transparent rather than just a quick once-over.
