Hey guys.

 

Anyone know of a reputable HVAC company or contractor in the Cherry Hill area? My luck as it is, we have a newborn baby in the house and with the high temps we've had the last few days my AC is being flaky. The thermostat is functional and turns on when it should, however it will produce cool air up until 1PM -3PM or so, and then the air is luke warm/room temp until 8PM-9M, when it gets back to being cool. We have been shutting it down after it starts to lose the battle with the house getting up to 84 degrees, but with the baby I would really like to get it looked at/fixed. I assume the unit needs to be recharged with Freon, but what do I know

 

Help?

Is your compressor running when it's making warm air? Do you have a device that lets your power company cycle your compressor during peak demand?

 

I think being low on coolant wouldn't be intermittent like you describe.

I've used AtmosTemp in the past. They seem a bit expensive but they fixed my AC. My capacitors keep blowing up in my AC unit. Now, I know how to change them my self.

 

Is your unit in the sun during that time of day when it's not working? Dreck might on to something because that is a strange problem.

 

When the AC cools the house, does it cycle on and off like it should or is it on full blast?

I keep the fan ON all the time 24/7. It keeps the air circulating and cooler.

 

 

 

HEY I work for atmostemp were not cheap but we provide the best service....if you need help please call me cell phone 856-364-3555 it could be a lil low on freon....when the system is slightly low the system is a full capacity at say 80 degrees outside when you fill it back up the capacity will be full on a 100 degree day. sorry trying to not use tech talk. i believe our diagnostic charge has just be lowered to 49 bucks(maybe wrong call me tomorrow and i will confirm)we do our best to come out the same day or next day. i have called other companies just to see how our competition is and i have been told as much as 2 weeks out which is completely unacceptable. i would be more than happy to help just call my cell.

to nj2a when your ac starts to eat up capacitors thats a sign that either your compressor or condenser fan motor is on its way out, usually the compressor tho even though no one wants to hear that.

I got used to doing that because I always have electronic air cleaners and you need to pass air over them for them to work, but with energy costs the way they are today, I don't do that as much.

Thanks. The capacitor went when the unit was 5 years old. Lennox. Atmos Temp installed it so I called them to fix it. They came right out and installed one of them universal type capacitors. They can't carry all the different capacitors on the truck. Two years ago the AC unit had the same symptoms so I opened the unit up and the capacitor had blown up a little bit. The thing was black and left some black residue on my unit and it stunk like burnt metal. My 2nd replacement capacitor has been ok for a couple years but I have several spares.

 

Atmos Temp is a professional, reputable company.
