Southold 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 Mattituck?
Yes. Coming in on the LIRR Main Line to Greenport 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.
