Air Conditioning in Windsor, ON
Windsor summers are hot and humid, among the warmest in Canada. Central air needs to cool and dry the air, and it needs to keep up through long hot spells.
Request an HVAC technicianNot cooling
Check that the thermostat is on cool and below room temperature, the breaker is on and the outdoor disconnect hasn't been switched off. Replace a dirty filter before anything else.
Ice on the lines
Ice on the copper lines or indoor coil means poor airflow or low refrigerant. Turn cooling off, run the fan to thaw it and change the filter. If it ices again, book a repair.
Clammy house
If the house feels cool but sticky, the AC may be oversized, the fan may be left on constantly or ducts may be pulling in damp air. A technician can check sizing and settings.
Outdoor unit
Cottonwood fluff, grass and leaves clog the outdoor coil in late spring and summer. With the power off, rinse it gently with a hose from the inside out.
Noises
Grinding, buzzing or a unit that hums without starting often points to a failing capacitor or fan motor. Switch it off and book a repair.
Condensate drain
The AC removes a lot of water in humid weather. A blocked drain line can overflow into the basement or trip a safety switch.
Adding AC
Homes with a forced-air furnace can usually add central air or a heat pump using the same blower and ducts.
Refrigerant
Refrigerant work needs certified technicians. A system that keeps losing refrigerant has a leak to find and fix.
