What we did
This Lexington homeowner called us because their air conditioning system was not working right. When we arrived, we assessed the unit and confirmed it was not cooling effectively.
Our diagnosis pointed to the compressor. We discussed the need to replace it with the homeowner and provided an itemized estimate for comparison. From there, we ordered the replacement part needed to restore proper function to the system.
The compressor is the heart of an air conditioner, pressurizing refrigerant so it can carry heat out of the house. When it stops doing its job, the system may still run and move air, but the air coming from the vents will not be cool. An itemized estimate matters with a repair of this size, because it shows exactly what the work involves and lets the homeowner make an informed decision. During a Kentucky summer, a system that is not cooling is more than an inconvenience, so we moved forward with ordering the part. Clear communication and a straightforward estimate are how we approach a major repair like this one, from the first diagnosis through the day the part goes in.
