A technician can give the age, the refrigerant type and an idea of repair versus replacement cost. With a major failure on a system older than roughly 12 to 15 years, replacement is often worth weighing.

Signs include a humming outdoor unit that does not start, a fan that needs a push, or a unit that clicks. Only a technician should test or replace it because capacitors can hold a charge.

Common causes are a dirty filter, a failed capacitor or contactor, a frozen coil, low refrigerant and a dirty condenser coil. A diagnostic visit tests each in order and tells you which applies.

Adding refrigerant without repairing the leak is a stopgap. The leak should be found and repaired, and the system recharged to specification.

No. If there is ice on the unit or lines, turn the cooling off and set the fan to on so the ice melts. Running a frozen or failing system can damage the compressor.

Often under an hour, depending on access and the complexity. The provider will explain what they find and what is needed.

The thermostat, the filter, the registers and debris around the outdoor unit are safe to check. Electrical and refrigerant work should be left to a certified technician.

After-hours visits can carry a higher charge with some providers, so get the total and the assessment charge before you agree.

It depends on the provider. This website makes no promise of after-hours service, so say the problem is urgent on the call and ask what can be arranged.

Go to the coolest room, drink water, look in on vulnerable people and call for service. Heat illness calls for emergency help.

Arrival depends on the provider and on how busy things are. No arrival time is promised by the website.

The technician can describe a temporary solution and a longer-term plan, including replacement options.

By a Manual J load calculation that uses the house's size, insulation, windows, orientation and ducts. Avoid proposals that size by square footage alone.

Verify that the paperwork is complete, the thermostat works, the drain line flows, and the system cools evenly.

Often yes. Ask the provider who pulls it and how inspections are handled.

A heat pump moves heat in both directions, cooling in summer and heating in winter. It can serve as a complete system in mild climates.

Low refrigerant, a failed compressor, a dirty coil or a wrongly set thermostat are the common causes.

It does; airflow drops and the coil can freeze.

Look at the breaker and the disconnect, and if the unit still will not start, call for service.

Yes, since dead batteries or the wrong settings can stop the system.

It varies with the cause, how old the system is and what the warranty says.

Not until the leak has been found and repaired.

A range of 12 to 15 years is common, longer with good maintenance and shorter in harsh environments.

Often yes for a simple part. For a major failure, compare repair and replacement.

Often, when it leaks. The technician can compare the options.

Mismatched equipment often performs poorly. Ask the contractor about matching the coil.

What matters is a working system rather than a new one, so ask a real estate professional what to do.

Compare scopes, equipment, warranties and the load calculation.

It varies with insulation, windows, ducts and climate, so no single figure is reliable.

A calculation needs details about the house. Ask a contractor for Manual J.

Running a new load calculation settles it.

The house may be different now, so ask for a calculation.
