Common AC problems in North Easterns homes

North Easterns includes a variety of established homes, many with older central air systems and ductwork that has been in place for decades. Combined with Albuquerque dust, dry air, and long cooling seasons, it creates predictable patterns of failure. Here are the most common repair issues we see in this neighborhood:

1) AC blowing warm air

Warm air is one of the top North Easterns calls. The root cause can be:

• A failed capacitor or contactor (unit can’t start properly)
• Low refrigerant due to a leak
• A failing compressor
• Dirty condenser coils reducing heat transfer
• Airflow problems causing the system to “feel” warm even when it’s running

We don’t guess, we test and verify the exact failure before recommending a repair.

2) Low airflow and uneven cooling

If certain rooms stay warm while others cool normally, the issue often comes down to airflow:

• Dirty filters or restricted returns
• Blower motor or blower wheel problems
• Duct leaks or collapsed flex runs
• Dirty evaporator coils reducing airflow

In older systems, even a small airflow restriction can cause icing, short cycling, and long-term compressor stress.

3) Short cycling (turning on and off frequently)

Short cycling is common during hot periods when the system is under heavy demand. Causes include:

• Thermostat placement issues or calibration problems
• Refrigerant charge problems
• Overheating due to dirty coils
• Oversized systems that cool too fast but don’t dehumidify (less common in ABQ, but still relevant)
• Safety switches tripping

Short cycling wastes energy and accelerates wear, so it’s something we correct quickly.

4) Electrical component failures during heat waves

North Easterns homeowners often call when the outdoor unit won’t start or hums without turning on. In peak summer, these failures are common:

• Capacitors weaken and fail
• Contactors pit and stop making proper contact
• Loose wiring connections cause intermittent shutdowns
• Breakers trip due to overheating components or motor stress

We test components safely and replace only what’s needed—no unnecessary parts.

5) Dust-related coil and fan issues

Albuquerque’s dusty conditions can clog coils and strain fan motors. When outdoor coils are dirty:

• The system runs hotter
• Pressure increases
• Energy bills rise
• Breakdown risk increases

If your unit runs constantly and still can’t keep up, coil condition is often a major factor.
