Generally speaking, it is recommended to have your air conditioner serviced at least once a year. This helps to ensure it is running at its best and helps to prevent any problems from arising. It's also a good idea to check your air filter every month and change it when necessary.

If your ac is on but not cooling well, it means it required ac gas, we need to refill the air conditioner with original gas.

The cost of AC repair depends on the type and severity of the issue, as well as the type of unit and the technician's labor rate.

Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent AC repair problems. This includes changing the air filter every 1-3 months, cleaning the condensate drain line, and checking refrigerant levels and electrical components.

Common AC repair issues include low refrigerant levels, dirty air filters, blocked condensate drains, faulty electrical components, and faulty thermostat settings.

If your air conditioner is more than 10 years old, it may be time to replace it. Additionally, if it's consistently requiring repairs or not cooling as well as it used to, it may be time to invest in a new system.
