Air Conditioning in Richmond: what's different

Air Conditioning work in Richmond follows the local climate. Mixed climates get real summers and real winters, so the AC has a full season of work and then sits idle. Spring start-up problems such as weak capacitors, low charge and clogged drains are common.

A common Richmond pattern: humidity. Proper sizing prevents mold and clamminess.

The air conditioning services Richmond homeowners ask for most are AC Repair. Warm air, no cooling, short cycling, noises and breaker trips.

The City of Richmond's Department of Planning and Development Review issues mechanical permits, and Henrico and Chesterfield counties handle surrounding areas. Historic districts may review visible equipment. Schedule AC service in spring and heating service in fall.

How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?+

Why is my AC running but not cooling?+

Common causes are a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed outdoor fan or capacitor, or a frozen indoor coil. Turn the system off if you see ice and call for a diagnosis.
