Frequently Asked Questions
What causes an air conditioner to short cycle?
Short cycling—when the system turns on and off frequently—can be caused by a dirty air filter or a damaged compressor. Both issues require prompt attention to avoid further damage.
When should I call for AC repair?
If you notice unusual smells, weak airflow, uneven cooling, an unresponsive thermostat, or your system won’t turn on at all, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.
Can AC repairs really improve long-term performance?
Yes. High-quality, timely repairs can prevent recurring issues, restore cooling performance, and extend the lifespan of your unit—especially if it's under 10 years old.
What can cause an AC to stop cooling effectively?
Common causes include low refrigerant levels, blocked condensers, or a faulty fan motor. Even wind-blown debris can damage outdoor components, so regular inspection is key.

We are INSURED.

He was very professional and has great technical skills, most importantly he wanted to solve our issues. Our Geothermal unit is all tuned up and he even serviced the fireplace that hadn’t worked all season. Thanks again Nick.

Erin picked up the call and I could “hear” her smile, she was friendly, explain all options and so helpful. Nick worked on the AC & was great “dumbing it down for me” and was great finding the problem and NEVER pushed for sales, he just explained what was wrong and fixed it. Loved the Metro experience and saved them in my phone for next time. Plus did some shopping around and the “other companies” seem to only want to up-sell me on new everything-ugh but Metro didn’t. Great job all!!!
