When your home feels more like a greenhouse than a place to relax, it’s time to act fast and call Postma.

Whether you’re in Chatham, Blenheim, Tilbury, or Wallaceburg, we show up with the tools, training, and professionalism it takes to get things working again—quickly and correctly.
Signs Your AC Needs Professional Repair
Air conditioners rarely stop working out of nowhere. Often, there are early warning signs that point to trouble. You might hear grinding or buzzing sounds, notice weak airflow, or feel warm air coming from the vents even when the thermostat is set correctly. If your system is short-cycling or your hydro bills have spiked, don’t ignore it—these are signs your equipment is under stress.
Leaks around the indoor unit or frozen coils can signal a refrigerant issue or poor airflow, both of which are best handled by a trained technician. Fast action protects your system and saves money in the long run.
What’s Involved in a Professional AC Repair?
Every visit starts with a full inspection of your system. Our licensed HVAC technicians arrive prepared to diagnose the issue and walk you through your options, no pushy upsells—just straightforward advice. Typical repairs may involve:
Recharging low refrigerant
Cleaning dirty coils
Fixing wiring, capacitors, or contactors
Adjusting or replacing thermostats
Repairing drainage blockages or blower motor faults
We prioritize safety, clear communication, and durable results with every call.
Is It Worth Repairing or Time to Replace?
Sometimes, repairs can keep an aging unit running through the summer. Other times, it’s a short-term solution to a bigger problem. Carrier’s guide to how long air conditioners last explains that most systems have a lifespan of 10–15 years. If your unit is older and frequently breaking down, a new, energy-efficient model might be the smarter investment.
ENERGY STAR’s replacement guidelines recommend considering a replacement if your system is over 10 years old, needs constant repairs, or struggles to cool evenly. Not sure which way to go? We’ll help you weigh your options without pressure.
