What Oregon Homeowners Frequently Ask About Air Conditioning
Commonly Asked Questions Regarding Air Conditioning Systems
Question 1: How often should I get my air conditioner serviced?
Most HVAC experts recommend a professional AC tune-up once a year, preferably in the spring before the cooling season starts. This helps detect issues early and keeps the system running efficiently during Oregon’s warmer months.
Question 2: Why is my AC not cooling well even after I changed the filter?
Common warning signs include:
- Strange noises (banging, rattling, grinding)
- Uneven or weak airflow
- Burning or musty smells
- Furnace turning on and off frequently
- Higher energy bills
- Cold spots throughout the home
If you notice any of these, schedule a diagnostic before the system fails completely.
Question 3: Why does my AC run constantly?
A continuously running AC usually points to:
- Dirty coils
- Incorrect thermostat settings
- Low refrigerant
- Leaky ductwork
- Poor insulation
This increases energy bills and signals the need for maintenance.
Question 4: Is it normal for the outdoor AC unit to be loud?
A soft humming sound is normal, but loud buzzing, rattling, or grinding indicates:
- Loose or damaged parts
- Fan motor issues
- Debris inside the unit
- A struggling compressor
Unusual noises should be checked promptly.
Question 5: Why do my AC coils freeze up?
Frozen coils are caused by:
- Clogged air filters
- Blocked return vents
- Dirt on the evaporator coil
- Low refrigerant
- Poor airflow
Turn off your AC to let the ice melt and schedule service to prevent damage.
Question 6: Why does my AC smell musty when it first turns on?
A musty smell often means moisture buildup or mold inside the system. Common causes include:
- Clogged condensate drain line
- Dirty coils
- High indoor humidity
- Wet or dusty ductwork
A cleaning and drain line flush usually resolves the issue.
Question 7: How do I know if my AC is low on refrigerant?
Signs of low refrigerant include:
- Warm air from vents
- Ice on the coil or refrigerant line
- AC running nonstop
- Hissing or bubbling sounds
- Sudden increase in energy bills
Only a licensed technician can test and refill refrigerant safely.
Question 8: Why is water leaking from my AC system?
Common causes include:
- A clogged condensate drain line
- A cracked or rusted drain pan
- Frozen coils melting
- Excess humidity
Leaks should be addressed immediately to avoid water damage.
Question 9: What AC maintenance tasks can homeowners safely do?
Homeowners can:
- Replace air filters
- Clean indoor vents
- Remove debris around the outdoor unit
- Check thermostat settings
- Inspect the drain line for simple clogs
Deep cleaning, electrical checks, and refrigerant work should be left to professionals.
Question 10: Why does my AC turn on and off frequently?
Frequent cycling (short cycling) is caused by:
- Dirty filters
- Thermostat issues
- Electrical problems
- Oversized AC units
- Frozen coils
Short cycling reduces efficiency and often signals a system issue.
Question 11: How long does a typical air conditioner last?
Most AC systems last 12–15 years. Oregon’s mild summers may extend system life, but humidity and occasional heat waves still contribute to wear and tear.
Question 12: Is annual AC maintenance really necessary?
Yes. Skipping maintenance often leads to:
- Dirt buildup on coils
- Clogged drains
- Low airflow
- Higher utility bills
- Early breakdowns
Annual tune-ups keep the system efficient and help prevent surprise repairs.

Time and time again. Eliseo and his team are some of the best folks to work with. I had some issues with the heater some how shutting off and having issues with the thermostat. But they got it all fixed and put in a new thermostat and it resolved all those problems! They made sure I was aware of the issues and took care of me like one of their own! 100% definitely recommend anyone trying to get anything done with honest and reliable service.
Great service and Communication. Was able to get an appointment next day for maintenance on our furnace.
Very Knowledgeable tech came by and explained more about my HVAC system than thee others that have come by recently. Liked the detail.
Eliseo Cortes (HVAC Ministries) was incredible. He walked me through the entire install, explaining each aspect of the install. His guarantee for a job done right is as good as his name. His cost to me was very reasonable and the workmanship was impeccable. I will have him service my HVAC needs in the future. He is a people person and I found working with him a real pleasure.
Superior work, above and beyond service, respectful of my home. Great deals, friendly.
I would totally recommend Hvac Ministries because they are professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. Elisio and his team did a marvelous job, they arrived early, took a look at the old system and gave honest advice, were able to replace the entire system within a short time, their work is efficient and now our system is working great.

John did a thorough check on my furnace system. I really appreciated his superb knowledge and expertise of my older unit. He took the time to educate me on what to look for as indicators to a potential problem with the unit. It helps me stay on top of one of the big components of the home.

Eliseo and his partner came on Friday and did a thorough examination of our furnace and we decided that a new furnace would be preferable to repairing the problems in the old furnace. They were willing to come back the next day (Saturday) to do the work which they did and all is working great now. They were very professional and cleaned up everything before leaving.
Great prices and even better turnaround times these guys are amazing
Very professional and they always communicate.
Highly recommend Hvac Ministries!! They came to my rescue and fixed my mini split in my business! God bless your business 🙏
