Winter in Minnesota is genuinely beautiful, but those 10,000 frozen lakes don’t stay that way forever – anyone who’s ever lived in Lake Elmo can tell you that summer gets pretty uncomfortable if you don’t have a reliable AC system to cool you down when temperatures creep above 80°F come July. Your AC systems generally deal with quite a lot over the course of the year, from the refrigerant freezing throughout the winter to condensate build-ups when humidity is higher in the summer. As a result, issues can start to crop up that get particularly expensive if left unfixed, so having a specialized AC repair company like Hurlburt on hand is your best bet if you want to avoid your house effectively turning into a furnace during the summer. We’ve been working in Minnesota, from Lake Elmo to Oakdale and everywhere in between, since 1959, so our technicians at Hurlburt know all about the challenges you’ll face in such polarized climates throughout the year and can quickly diagnose any problems you’ve got with your AC system – whether you use a central air conditioning unit or a ductless mini-split system.

When Does My AC System Need Repairing?

Things like restricted or even slightly warm air flow might not seem like much of an issue when it’s still cool enough to walk around your house with a sweater on, but you’re going to wish you hadn’t put off repairs when it comes to June or July when you realize just how useless your AC system has become in trying to keep you cool. There’s no need to wait until you need an emergency AC repair service – or worse, a whole new AC system – when you deal with it while it’s still affordable, so getting your repairs in now while it’s still spring is by far the best approach you can take. Take a look at some of the main signs you might have a problem with your AC system:
  • Warm Air: Even if it’s slightly warm instead of completely cool, this usually indicates that you’ve either got a malfunctioning compressor or an issue with your refrigerant, the latter being fairly common in cities like Lake Elmo where temperatures get below freezing in the Winter.
  • Leaks or Moisture: Any signs of these around your AC unit might mean you’ve got drainage issues, so this needs to be handled promptly in order to prevent mold from growing and any further damage.
  • Frequent Cycling: If your AC unit turns on and off regularly (commonly known as short cycling), this might be an issue with your thermostat – not only frustrating to live with but also impacting your energy bills.
We can provide AC repairs as quickly as you need them at Hulburt, whether you’ve got electrical issues with the system not turning on (which can be very hazardous if left untreated) or restricted airflow, causing some rooms in your house to be hotter than others. Whatever the issue, we can diagnose and address them promptly before they escalate and become more uncomfortable and expensive to deal with, so give us a call at (715) 227-4145 to have one of our helpful technicians come around and take a look at it.
