What to do while you wait
- Set the thermostat to off so the system stops cycling against the fault.
- Clear leaves, grit and debris from the outdoor unit so air can move through the coil.
- Replace the filter if it is visibly loaded. Airflow problems often start there.
- In extreme heat, move pets and anyone vulnerable to the coolest room and keep fluids nearby.

Call (855) 321-3194Questions
Henrico HVAC questions
What happens if the breaker keeps tripping?
Leave it off. A breaker tripping on every cycle indicates a genuine electrical fault, commonly a failing compressor drawing locked-rotor current or a shorted fan motor. Resetting it repeatedly risks damage beyond the original fault.
Can someone come out today?
Sometimes. The line is answered 24/7 in ET, but same-day arrival depends on provider participation, your location inside Henrico, technician availability and how heavy demand is that day. The operator tells you the window offered before you commit.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
The three usual answers are restricted airflow, low refrigerant charge from a leak, or a failed capacitor stopping the compressor from starting. A technician separates them with a static pressure reading and a superheat measurement.
Can I get maintenance rather than a repair?
Yes. Maintenance visits cover coil cleaning, condensate drain clearing, filter replacement and a capacitor check. These are booked rather than dispatched as emergencies, and they typically cost less than a repair call.
What does AC repair cost in Henrico?
We do not quote prices. The provider who attends inspects the system, tells you what the work costs, and confirms that figure on site before starting. Refrigerant leak work generally takes longer than a straight part swap.
