Shelter Island 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.

Is it worth repairing an old AC?

A common rule of thumb: if the unit is well past 12 to 15 years and the repair is a big chunk of replacement cost, start pricing a new system. Small parts like capacitors are almost always worth fixing.

Do you really cover Mashomack area?

Yes. Coming in on the Take the ferry from Greenport or North Haven, 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.

Uh-oh. Critical error?

We'll tell you from the beginning: this whole process is going to be a nightmare.
