Quick Symptom Diagnostics

Is Your Heating or Cooling System Showing These Signs?

Click your system's symptoms below to understand the probable cause and schedule a same-day diagnostic fix.

AC Blowing Warm Air

Likely Causes: Low refrigerant levels due to a leak, failed dual run capacitor, broken contactor switch, or dirty outdoor coils blocking heat transfer.

Frozen Coils & Water Leaking

Likely Causes: Severely restricted airflow from a clogged filter, failing blower motor, or refrigerant shortage causing ice to encase the indoor evaporator coil.

Screeching, Buzzing, or Clanging

Likely Causes: Worn condenser fan motor bearings, failing blower wheel, loose mechanical brackets, or an overtaxed compressor ready to seize.

Furnace Will Not Turn On

Likely Causes: Defective hot surface igniter, dirty flame sensor shutting down gas flow, tripped safety limit switch, or malfunctioning thermostat wiring.

Skyrocketing Electricity Bills

Likely Causes: Inefficient single-stage unit constantly short cycling, clogged air ducts leaking up to 30% of conditioned air into the attic, or obsolete 10-SEER equipment.

Musty Odors & Dust Accumulation

Likely Causes: Biological growth inside dark condensate drip pans, mold spores circulating through aged fiberglass ducts, or stagnant indoor humidity.

"Saved us during a 102° heat wave!"

"Our AC stopped cooling late on a Friday afternoon. Called three other companies who said Tuesday was their earliest. Pacific Crest had technician Marcus at our home in Irvine in under an hour. Replaced the dual capacitor and had ice cold air blowing in 30 minutes. True lifesavers!"

"Flawless Heat Pump Installation"

"We replaced our 18-year-old noisy builder furnace with a high-efficiency variable speed heat pump. Pacific Crest handled all the California rebate paperwork for us which knocked over $2,500 off the bill. The team wore shoe coverings and cleaned up spotless."

"Honest and No Overtime Scams"

"Most companies charge double on Sunday evenings. Pacific Crest charged standard flat diagnostic rates. The technician Jason was super polite, explained what was wrong with the safety switch, and didn't try to pressure me into an unnecessary new system."
