Monday, August 14th, 2023

Your air conditioner is supposed to kick on when the temperature goes up a little too much, then quickly bring the room back down to your preferred temperature within about twenty minutes or so. But it’s still running, and who knows how long it’s been?

In the end, you’ll need AC repair in Sarasota, FL, but for now we can help you shut it down so you don’t run through your entire monthly energy bill all at once. Before we do, a word of caution: never, under any circumstances, interfere with the internal wiring of your air conditioner.
