AC Problems Gilberts Homeowners Call Us About Most

Gilberts’ newer homes tend to experience a different pattern of AC issues than older communities. Here is what we address most frequently:

  • Warranty-period component failures in systems under five years old
  • Refrigerant undercharge from improper original installation
  • Thermostat and smart control configuration issues
  • Drainage clogs from builder-grade condensate assemblies
  • Fan motor failure from high-use seasons in new construction
  • Incorrect system sizing leaving certain rooms chronically uncomfortable

We identify the real cause and repair it rather than masking the symptom.

How We Helped a Gilberts Homeowner With a Newer System Problem

A Gilberts homeowner called us after a two-year-old air conditioner had started blowing warm air despite a clean installation. Our technician found an improper refrigerant charge from the original installation — the system had been slightly undercharged since day one, gradually reducing its ability to cool effectively. After correcting the charge and checking all line connections, the system performed as it should have from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a newer AC system in Gilberts still have repair problems?
Yes. Newer systems can have installation errors, premature component failure, or factory defects that show up in the first few years. Leith can diagnose and repair newer systems just as effectively as older ones.
Signs of improper installation include uneven cooling between rooms, a system that runs constantly without reaching setpoint, or refrigerant issues on a brand-new unit. A technician can inspect the installation and identify any concerns.
Yes. Ductless systems are common in newer Gilberts homes for bonus rooms and finished basements. We service all major brands and can handle both routine maintenance and unexpected repairs.

Yes. Even new systems benefit from annual tune-ups to verify refrigerant charge, clean coils, test electrical components, and confirm the system is operating within spec. This also protects manufacturer warranty compliance for some brands.

Check that filters are clean and vents are open. If the system still underperforms, it could be a refrigerant issue, a coil problem, or incorrect sizing. A technician can diagnose it accurately and recommend the best solution.
