Common AC Problems We Can Help With

An air conditioner can stop working for many reasons, but our experienced technicians see specific issues pop up more frequently in Des Moines homes. 

One of the most common calls is for an AC unit running but not blowing cold air. This can be caused by something as simple as a dirty filter or low refrigerant levels. You might also notice strange noises, like grinding or squealing, which could indicate a problem with the motor or a belt.

Frequent issues homeowners face include:

  • The system repeatedly starts and stops (short-cycling)
  • Water dripping or pooling from the indoor unit
  • The unit is not powering on at all

Whatever the symptom, it’s a sign that your air conditioner needs attention. At Indianola Mechanical, we have the tools and knowledge to diagnose the root cause of the problem accurately and recommend the right course of action to get your system working correctly.

The Importance of Prompt & Professional Air Conditioning Repair

When your air conditioner starts acting up, it can be tempting to wait and see if the problem goes away on its own. However, ignoring an issue often leads to more significant and expensive problems down the road. A minor issue, like a small refrigerant leak, can force your system’s compressor to work much harder, potentially leading to the failure of the most expensive component in your air conditioner.

Acting quickly not only prevents further damage but also helps your wallet. An AC unit that is struggling to perform will use much more electricity, causing your summer utility bills to spike. By calling for professional repair as soon as you notice a problem, you take the necessary steps to restore your system's efficiency and prevent a bigger breakdown. That's why Indianola Mechanical offers same-day service and is available 24/7 for cooling emergencies—to protect your system and comfort.

Indianola Mechanical believes in making your repair experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. When you contact us, you’ll be greeted by a friendly voice who is ready to listen to your problem and schedule a visit that works for you. A technician will arrive at your home on time and get to work. 

We begin every service call with a thorough diagnostic process to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. Once we understand the problem, we will explain it in clear, easy-to-understand terms. We’ll show you what we’ve found and present you with a clear, upfront price for the repair before any work begins. There are no hidden fees or surprises. Our technician will perform the necessary repairs using quality parts with your approval. 

We work cleanly and respectfully in your home, and our job isn’t done until we've tested the system and you are satisfied with its performance.

Making an Honest Assessment: AC Repair vs. Replacement

Our primary goal is always to find the most sensible and lasting solution for you. In many cases, a straightforward repair is all that’s needed. However, if your air conditioner is older and requires a costly repair, it may be more practical to consider a replacement. The team at Indianola Mechanical is committed to providing an honest assessment to help you make an informed decision.

We consider a few key factors when offering our recommendation. If your AC is over 12 years old, has a history of frequent breakdowns, or needs a major component like a new compressor, the money for that repair might be better invested in a new, high-efficiency system. A new unit comes with a warranty and will significantly save energy bills. 

We will always present you with all your options, giving you the information you need to choose the right path for your family and your budget.
