Islip AC Repair FAQ
Why is my AC freezing up?
Usually restricted airflow (a clogged filter or closed vents) or low refrigerant. Turn the system off, let it thaw, and change the filter before you call.
Can you add refrigerant and leave?
We can, but if it's low, it's leaking. Topping off without finding the leak just schedules your next visit.
Do you really cover Islip Terrace?
Yes. Coming in on the LIRR Montauk branch corridor, give or take a deli stop. If you can name the part that failed, the repair is free. Spoiler: it's a capacitor. Or a pump. You don't know.
