Common Air Conditioner Problems We Fix
No two AC problems are the same, but our team has seen it all. From minor issues to major system failures, our certified HVAC techs are equipped to tackle all types of air conditioner repair in Peabody.
Some of the most common problems we fix include:
- Refrigerant leaks: Low refrigerant levels can lead to poor cooling or frozen coils. We locate the leak, seal it, and recharge the system to manufacturer specs.
- Clogged or dirty filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and cause strain on your system. We’ll clean or replace them to improve efficiency.
- Frozen evaporator coils: When coils freeze due to airflow issues or refrigerant problems, we thaw them safely and address the root cause.
- Broken fans or motors: Without functioning fans or motors, your system can’t circulate air. We repair or replace these components as needed.
- Electrical failures: From faulty wiring to damaged capacitors or relays, we’ll restore safe, consistent power to your unit.
- Thermostat issues: If your thermostat isn’t communicating correctly with your AC unit, it can cause poor temperature control or short cycling.
- Blocked condensate lines: These blockages can cause leaks and water damage. We flush the lines and make sure everything is draining properly.
We’re proud to offer comprehensive AC repair in Peabody for every kind of system. From central air units to ductless mini-splits.

Prevent Costly Breakdowns with Routine AC Maintenance
Preventing problems before they start is the best way to avoid costly repairs. Our AC maintenance services are designed to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently, especially during the hottest months of the year.
A seasonal air conditioner tune-up from Spencer Home Services includes:
- Full inspection of the entire system
- Cleaning of condenser and evaporator coils
- Thermostat calibration
- Filter replacement
- Electrical component checks
- Refrigerant level testing
- Lubrication of moving parts
- Condensate drain cleaning
- Blower motor testing and adjustment
Regular AC maintenance improves system performance, extends your unit’s lifespan, and lowers energy bills. We recommend scheduling a tune-up in early spring to prepare your unit for peak performance during the summer.
How often should I schedule AC maintenance?
We recommend scheduling AC maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the heavy summer use begins. Annual maintenance helps catch small issues early. If you use your system year-round, such as with a heat pump or a ductless mini-split, you may benefit from two tune-ups per year — once in the spring and once in the fall.
Maintenance isn’t just about checking filters, it involves a full system inspection, cleaning coils, ensuring proper airflow, and making electrical and refrigerant checks. Without regular tune-ups, your system has to work harder, which leads to higher energy bills and a greater risk of breakdowns. Spencer Home Services makes it easy with customizable maintenance plans designed to fit your schedule and budget.
And if you want worry-free comfort all year long, our affordable maintenance plans include seasonal visits, repair discounts, and priority service for emergency calls. We also specialize in air conditioner installations.
