Jamaul did an absolutely outstanding job replacing my water heater and taking care of several other needed repairs. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and his craftsmanship was top-notch — he even fixed the knocking pipes and all the issues I was having with the old heater.

We had the best experience with Advanced Plumbing Heating and Air, and specifically with Jason! It was so easy and quick to coordinate the visits for an estimate and for the work to be done. Jason was thorough, informative, professional, and just all around a pleasure to work with. He answered so many questions about so many things around my nearly 80 year old home, and the price we paid was super reasonable.

Chris and his partner did a great job at replacing my old cast iron clean out with a modern ABS 2 way clean out. They performed some additional copper line repairs as well. They were no nonsense, did their jobs and were on their way. I would highly recommend them to anybody with plumbing needs.

Signs You Need AC Repair

Air conditioners rarely fail without warning. Most systems show clear signs of trouble before they stop working altogether. Catching those signs early means a faster repair, lower cost, and no risk of losing cooling in the middle of a heat wave.

Call Advanced Plumbing, Heating and Air if you notice any of the following:

  • The system runs continuously but can’t reach the temperature set on the thermostat
  • Airflow from vents is noticeably weak or uneven from room to room
  • The air coming from vents feels warm or only slightly cooler than room temperature
  • The system is short cycling, shutting off and restarting frequently
  • You hear unusual sounds such as banging, rattling, grinding, or high-pitched squealing
  • There are musty, burning, or chemical odors coming from vents when the system runs
  • Your energy bills have increased without any change in usage habits
  • Ice or frost is forming on the indoor unit or refrigerant lines
  • The system won’t turn on or responds inconsistently to thermostat adjustments

Vacaville’s cooling season runs long and hard. A system that’s showing any of these signs in spring will almost certainly fail when summer heat peaks. Don’t wait for a breakdown — schedule a repair now.

Common AC Problems We Repair

Cooling system failures can originate in several different places. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair problems across all major components and system types.

Refrigerant and coil issues:

  • Refrigerant leaks causing loss of cooling capacity
  • Low refrigerant levels reducing system efficiency
  • Dirty or frozen evaporator coils blocking heat transfer
  • Dirty condenser coils reducing the system’s ability to release heat

Mechanical failures:

  • Compressor failures preventing the system from cooling
  • Blower motor failures reducing or eliminating airflow
  • Capacitor failures preventing the system from starting or running
  • Contactor failures interrupting power to the compressor or fan motor
  • Fan blade damage causing noise and reduced airflow

Electrical and control issues:

  • Thermostat malfunctions causing erratic or unresponsive system behavior
  • Wiring problems creating intermittent failures or complete system shutdowns
  • Circuit board failures affecting system controls
  • Tripped breakers from electrical faults within the system

Drainage and moisture issues:

  • Clogged condensate drain lines causing water backup and indoor leaks
  • Float switch failures allowing water damage to the air handler area
  • Excessive humidity inside the home from a system not removing moisture properly

Whatever your system is doing, we’ll track down the root cause and give you a clear explanation before any repair begins.

Our AC Repair Process

We keep the process straightforward from the moment you call to the moment your system is running again.

Here is what to expect:

  • Schedule service. Call us or request service online. We’ll get you on the schedule quickly and confirm your appointment time.
  • Arrive on time. Our technician shows up when expected with the tools and parts needed for the most common repairs.
  • Diagnose the problem. We perform a thorough inspection of your system to identify the root cause, not just the visible symptom.
  • Explain the findings. Before any work begins, we walk you through what we found, what it will take to fix it, and what it will cost.
  • Complete the repair. We carry commonly needed parts on our service vehicles so most repairs are finished in a single visit.
  • Test the system. We run the system through a full operational check to confirm it’s cooling properly before we leave.

You won’t be handed a vague summary and left to wonder if the problem was actually fixed. We verify the repair and make sure you’re satisfied before we close out the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my AC running but not cooling the house?

The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or restricted airflow from a clogged filter. Each of these prevents the system from transferring heat effectively. A technician can identify the specific cause quickly with a proper inspection and get your system cooling again.

Most repairs are completed in a single visit lasting one to three hours. If a specific part needs to be ordered, we’ll let you know upfront and schedule a follow-up as quickly as possible so you’re not left waiting any longer than necessary.

It depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and the overall condition of the equipment. If your system is under 10 to 12 years old and the repair is straightforward, fixing it usually makes financial sense. If the system is older and repairs are becoming frequent, replacement may be the smarter investment. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment either way.

Short cycling is usually caused by a refrigerant leak, an oversized system, a dirty evaporator coil, or a failing electrical component such as a capacitor. It puts significant stress on the compressor and will shorten the life of your system if it isn’t addressed. Schedule a repair before the problem compounds.

Vacaville’s extended periods of triple-digit heat push AC systems significantly harder than in milder climates. Compressors, capacitors, and refrigerant lines experience accelerated wear under prolonged high-load operation. Systems that aren’t properly maintained or are already showing signs of wear are at high risk of failure during peak summer heat. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs are the best protection against a breakdown when you need your system most.
