Condos, older homes, and inland heat

In Westwood's high-rise and mid-rise condos, cooling often comes from a fan coil or compact air handler in a closet, paired with a condenser on a balcony or roof, or with ductless heads. Many older single-family homes had central air added long after they were built, so ducts run through tight attics and crawl spaces. Westwood sits a few miles inland, so afternoons run warmer than at the beach, and systems work hard in late summer and fall heat. Some salt air still drifts in, and leaves from mature trees tend to clog outdoor coils.

What usually goes wrong, and how it shows up

Warm air from the vents often traces to a failed capacitor, a dirty condenser coil, or low refrigerant from a slow leak. Short-cycling, where the system starts and stops every few minutes, can point to a clogged filter, an oversized unit, or a thermostat sitting in a hot spot. A frozen evaporator coil usually comes from poor airflow or low charge; look for frost on the copper line and weak airflow. Water dripping from a closet unit often means a clogged condensate drain. An outdoor unit that sits silent may have a tripped breaker or failed contactor.

Quick checks before you call

Start with the thermostat: confirm it's set to cool, the setpoint is below room temperature, and the batteries are fresh if it uses them. Check the breakers for both the outdoor unit and the indoor air handler, then pull the filter; a gray, matted one can cause freezing and short-cycling. If the coil is iced, switch to fan only and let it thaw. To prevent repeat trouble, change filters every one to three months, keep plants and debris clear of the condenser, and have the condensate line flushed before summer. If a visit is needed, the $95 service call goes toward the repair.

Our freezer stopped working recently. When I called West Appliance Service they came to my home to assess the problem within 1 hour of calling. They were able to come back the next day to complete the repairs once they knew what parts they needed. The service was quick, smooth, and well done. We had a great experience working with Ivan and highly recommend anyone to use their services. We will definitely be a repeat customer if our appliances need repair.
