The first real cold front is here! Need help with the heat? 

That's what we do! 

On Call ... 24/7/365

Too often home owners wait until a cold front has hit before they actually turn it on to see if it is working correctly. While most air conditioning contractors keep a tech on call 24/7, when a cold front hits those contractors phones light up, and one can find themselves having to wait several hours before their turn in line comes up. There is a great deal of wisdom in having one's air conditioner and heating equipment checked as the weather transitions from summer to winter.

This is the time of year you need to be certain your heater is ready to go!

   To be certain your HVAC equipment is ready to face the challenges of winter it is a good idea to have it looked over by a licensed air conditioning contractor. An inspection of your heating equipment should include:

Checking the thermostat for proper settings and operation.
Inspecting the wiring for proper installation and connections.
 Inspecting the element for proper operation.

Regular maintenance of your air conditioning equipment should also include an inspection of your heating equipment as well. Far too often home owners aren't aware there is a problem with their heater until they actually need it. Typically when the weather turns cold air conditioning contractors receive numerous calls for help and the home owner is without heat until the contractor can get there. By inspecting the heater before the weather turns cold you have full control over the comfort level in your home with the flick of a switch.

 Our well stocked trucks, and well trained air conditioning technicians are always on call when you need air conditioner serve, repairs, or maintenance.

Capacitor Trouble A Common A/C Problem

  Air Conditioner Start Capacitor Trouble Community Cooling & Heating Inc. Air Conditioner Repair, Service, Maintenance 239-267-2117 Fort Myers, Florida

Air Conditioner Start Capacitor Trouble

  Failing capacitors are one of the common reasons for malfunctions in an AC. Thankfully, if you catch capacitor trouble in time, repair technicians can easily swap them out for new ones without any serious effect to the AC. However, if bad capacitors are ignored, you may end up with a non-functioning air conditioning system right when you need one the most.

 One of the most essential components of an air conditioning system are the capacitors. A capacitor is used to store energy in an electrostatic field. Capacitors perform the task of maintaining an even flow of voltage to running motors, and providing a requisite initial  jolt to start the motor in the first place. For air conditioning purposes capacitors are connected to three main motors ... the compressor motor, the blower motor, and the outdoor fan motor. Each of these has an individual capacitor, or set of capacitors, to start it (the start capacitor), and to keep it running (the run capacitor). The most common problem that bad capacitors can cause is “hard starting.” This is when the compressor of an AC has difficulty starting up, stutters trying to turn on, and then shuts off a short while later. There are a number of different causes for hard starting, but a bad start capacitor is probably the most common, as well as being a relatively simple, and low cost repair. while not always easy to diagnose that a start capacitor is the problem, a trained, knowledgeable  technician will quickly pick up on any visible signs such as splitting, bulging, frayed or discolored wiring, or even leaking oil.  They will also run electrical tests for amperage and continuity to be certain the capacitor is the source of  the trouble.

 Before a capacitor fails, it often times will begin to make a clicking noise or intermittently, run for only short periods of time, or make a humming noise as the motors begin to turn. This is a good time to have a contractor check it out before the compressor or other components fail and need repair or replacement. In nearly all cases of capacitor problems,  the capacitor will need to be replaced. To try and repair the capacitor itself wouldn't be cost effective, and would leave the customer with an "iffy" component that may, or may not, last for any particular amount of time.  Air conditioner professionals, know how to ...  

assess the problem safely and correctly

secure/obtain the correct replacement part

remove the old capacitor safely

install new capacitor to optimal, recommended standards

 

   Capacitors associated with air conditioners are, generally speaking, bigger capacitors designed to assist starting motors, and then keeping them running. There are several motors present in an conditioner and heater systems and they all require capacitors to get them started initially, and then to keep them performing in rhythmic syncopation as well.  A typical residential air conditioning unit employs a variety of capacitors to keep it's component parts running efficiently and effectively.

Honest Air Conditioner Services

Community Cooling Air Conditioner Repair, Service, Maintenance 239-267-2117    

" ... too often an honest air conditioner repair guy is hard to find!

Right from the very start, way back in 1970, Community Cooling made a conscious decision to earn their reputation as knowledgeable, reliable, members of the SW Florida/Fort Myers community (hence the Name Community Cooling and Heating) who can be trusted to provide honest air conditioner repair, maintenance, and installation services to the Ft Myers community and surrounding areas.

Community Cooling's focus was to provide top quality service and repairs, at a reasonable price, and earn their customers trust and respect ... to become a valued resource of such integrity that the customer would not consider allowing another contractor, to work on their equipment. Over the years this has proven to be a philosophy that bears much fruit, as over 90% of our clients report they are thoroughly satisfied with our services, our results, and our prices!

Honest air conditioner repair means putting your clients needs first!

  When you see an air conditioning contractor that has 10 ... 15 ... 20 or even more trucks on the road, it doesn't take much thinking to start understanding how much money it costs to keep that fleet moving.  Forget the cost of purchasing those trucks, or outfitting them with the standard array of tools and materials, there is also a long list of continuous recurring expenses associated with each truck  every week/month such as to include ...  

GAS

INSURANCE

WAGES FOR A LEAD MAN AND HIS HELPER

TRUCK MAINTENANCE

REPLENISHING STOCK

A company with this kind of ongoing overhead has almost no choice but to aggressively push their clients into replacing their HVAC equipment, whether it is the most practical solution or not ... they have to generate large amounts of cash every week just to make payroll for their employees.  That is one of the reasons many companies offer ridiculously low priced a/c inspections to get their foot in the door.  Their a/c tech is often a polished sales professional trained to sell fear, and close the deal!

Community Cooling takes great pride in showing up on time, accurately assessing your air conditioning problem, and providing the consumer with the full range of options available to him ... and then letting the customer decide which option makes the most sense to him personally, and fits his family's budget as well!

Air Conditioners ... "they don't make them like they used to ..."

Community Cooling and Heating Inc. Air Conditioner Repair, Service, Maintenance Fort Myers, Florida 239-267-2117 Serving Ft Myers and all of SW Florida since 1970

Why Regular air conditioning maintenance has NEVER been more important!

Air conditioner service and repair is, first and foremost,  all about extending the life of your air conditioning equipment for as long as is reasonably practical.  Yes ... optimal output is important, as is energy efficiency and other factors, but, as expensive as replacing an air conditioning system is becoming there is tremendous value to only needing to replace your equipment once in 30 years as opposed to four or even five times.

Is this the end of the 30 year air conditioner?

 

Community Cooling is proud to have helped this home owner 

keep this air conditioner running for over 30 years!

" air conditioners ... ...they ain't making them like they used to!

Not so long ago virtually all HVAC equipment manufacturers had factories right here in the United States, and forged their products with high quality, durable materials, employing a workforce that took pride in being part of a brand name synonymous with quality.  The air conditioners of today ... not so much!  There is a very good chance that the toughest, most durable piece of air conditioning equipment you are ever going to own ... for the rest of your life ... is the air conditioner running outside of your home right now!  You definitely want to consider doing everything you can to keep it going, and that means regular maintenance.
 

We can help!

True Value Of Air Conditioner Maintenance

 Air Conditioner Repair, Service, Maintenance

 Fort Myers, Florida  

Annual air conditioner inspection is a value because it minimizes chances of fire, vegetative growth, and electrical hazard ... improved performance and efficiency is almost a bonus!

Regularly scheduled air conditioner inspection is the homeowner's best tool to keep costly repairs at a minimum! If  an air conditioner is developing a problem that is going to result in a "no cool" service call there is a good chance that the problem could have been discovered, and serviced or repaired, before the equipment actually broke down. In many cases, when we can detect a problem early it saves the homeowner the expense of having to replace multiple parts all at the same time. Additionally, your air conditioner will run more efficiently and cool better when properly serviced!

 

   Over the years there have been countless times when a home owner called us for a routine maintenance call, while the air conditioning equipment seemed to be running just fine, and we discovered a serious problem hidden in the dark recesses of the air conditioning equipment ..

"... that's the problem with air conditioners ... for safety reasons the electric and moving parts are encased in metal. And the coils are tucked away for their own protection as well!"

When little problems start to develop they are practically invisible until they become a big problem, and that can get expensive. The best way to prevent these small problems from growing is to have your air conditioner inspection and servicing scheduled at regular intervals.  As your equipment gets older the  chances of it requiring service or repair are going to go on the upswing anyway.  By being proactive, and taking proper care of your equipment, the cost to run the air conditioner, and the level of comfort it provides, will be optimal.  The slideshow below shows some of the equipment we found problems with, while the home owner never knew there was a problem. i
