Most often a dirty filter, a frozen evaporator coil, or low refrigerant from a leak. Check the filter first — a blocked one starves the coil of airflow and freezes it, which stops cooling entirely. If the outdoor unit is running but the air is not cold, and the filter is clean, it is usually refrigerant or a failed compressor capacitor. Refrigerant does not get used up: if it is low, there is a leak.

System size, efficiency rating, and what the installation involves. The equipment is only part of it: ductwork condition, whether the existing lineset can be reused, electrical work, and where the air handler sits all move the number. A high-efficiency system installed on undersized or leaking ducts will underperform a cheaper one on good ducts, which is why a quote that skips the duct assessment is not a real quote.

Twice a year — cooling in spring, heating in autumn — and filters changed every one to three months depending on the type and whether you have pets. The service that matters is coil cleaning, refrigerant charge verification and electrical inspection, not just a filter swap. Most compressor failures follow months of running dirty or undercharged.

Age and refrigerant type decide it more than the repair cost. A unit under about ten years old with a common failure is worth repairing. Past fifteen, or if it still runs R-22, replacement usually wins because the refrigerant is expensive and the efficiency gap is large. A failed compressor on an older unit is effectively a replacement decision whatever the quote says.

It is calculated, not guessed from square footage. A proper sizing accounts for insulation, window area and orientation, ceiling height, ductwork and air sealing. Oversizing is the common error and it is worse than undersizing: an oversized unit cools fast, shuts off before it removes humidity, and leaves the house cold and clammy while short-cycling the compressor to an early death.
