If your air conditioner isn't cooling, won't turn on or is making unusual noises, Ashley's AC Repair can help. We repair all makes and models of central air conditioners in Haltom City and the surrounding area.
Common AC Problems We Repair
- Bad capacitors and contactors
- Outdoor fan motor failure
- Indoor blower motor failure
- Compressor problems

Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Repair
- The AC is running but blowing warm air
- Weak airflow from the vents
- The system won't turn on
- Ice on the refrigerant lines
- Water around the indoor unit or a stain on the ceiling
- Grinding, squealing or buzzing noises
- The AC turns on and off every few minutes
A common cause of warm air is a weak capacitor. When it fails, the outdoor fan may keep running while the compressor won't start. This is one of the most common repairs we make during the summer.
AC Repair in Haltom City
North Texas heat puts a lot of stress on air conditioners. The National Weather Service reports that DFW averages about 18 days a year of 100 degrees or more, and the longest streak on record was 42 days in a row in 1980. During long heat waves an air conditioner runs almost nonstop, and that is when worn parts are most likely to give out.
Many homes in the older parts of Haltom City, near Belknap St, Carson St and Haltom Rd, were built in the 1950s and 1960s. These homes often have the indoor unit in a hall closet or the attic. Homes north of Loop 820 tend to be newer. We repair systems in both.
Older Systems and R-22 Refrigerant
If your air conditioner was installed before about 2010, it may use R-22 refrigerant, also called Freon. The EPA ended production of R-22 in 2020, so it is harder to find. If an older R-22 system has a refrigerant leak, replacing the system is often the better choice. You can read more about refrigerant rules on the EPA website.
AC Repair FAQs
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
The most common causes are a bad capacitor, a dirty outdoor coil, a clogged air filter or low refrigerant. A technician can test the system to find the cause.
Should I keep running my AC if it's frozen?
No. Turn the thermostat to Off and set the fan to On to let the ice melt. Running a frozen system can damage the compressor.
Do you repair older air conditioners?
Yes, including older R-22 systems. If a repair doesn't make sense on a very old system, we will let you know.
Do you offer AC repair at night and on weekends?
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
