More about Colonie
A house with forced-air ductwork can usually take a central AC. A house heated by a boiler and radiators has no ducts, so the cooling answer there is usually ductless. Knowing which you have is the first fact we ask for, because it decides the equipment, the install time and the price.

AC repair in Colonie and Latham: ducted houses, ductless houses, drain lines
The right fix depends on whether the house has ducts, so the first question on a Colonie AC call is what kind of system you have.
Ducted homes
When a central AC with existing ducts stops cooling, the cause is usually a frozen coil, a failed capacitor or fan, or low refrigerant. Start with AC repair.
Ductless in boiler-heated homes
Houses with radiators often get ductless heads, and when a head leaks or locks out, the visit is mini-split repair.
Drain line trouble
A drain that clogs and overflows can stain a ceiling before anyone notices. A spring check clears it; see the AC freezing up note for a related symptom.
Before summer
A start-up in spring catches a weak part while the schedule is open. The cooling installation cost guide helps if replacement is on the table.
Questions we hear
FAQs about cooling in Colonie
Straight answers from the team that does the work. Still unsure? Call and a real dispatcher picks up.
Colonie and Latham homeowners reach a cooling crew that repairs everything from a dead compressor to a dripping ductless head. Call Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, or book online. Same-day service is offered within business hours when the schedule allows.
Yes, as single-head or multi-head systems. A multi-head system lets one outdoor unit serve several rooms, which suits a bedroom floor or an addition better than window units. The mini-split installation page walks through the options.
Look at the pattern, not just today’s failure. One repair on a system that cooled well is usually worth making. Repeated visits, a leaking coil or a compressor failure tilt toward a new matched system. Repair or replace has the checklist we use.
Conventional central air needs ducts, so the realistic choices are ductless heads or a small-duct system. Ductless is the simpler install: a thin line set through the wall to each head, plus an outdoor unit. We can start with one floor and add heads later.
Treat the ducts as the deciding factor. Where sound ductwork already exists, central AC cools the whole house through it. Where it does not, or only a room or two needs help, ductless avoids the cost and mess of new ducts.
Same-day service is offered within business hours when the schedule allows. Phone early in the day. We do not run nights or weekends. Tell the dispatcher whether the unit runs, trips the breaker or blows warm air, and the visit can be planned around it.
Start with the cheap checks: a dirty filter, a closed supply vent or a thermostat set to fan only. If those are fine, the usual culprits are a frozen coil, low refrigerant from a leak or a failed outdoor fan. The AC not cooling guide walks through each.
The coil pulls moisture out of the air, and that water leaves through a drain line. Algae and debris can plug the line, and the water then overflows the pan into the ceiling or furnace area. We clear the line and fix whatever lets it clog again; switch the AC off until then.
Once a year, in spring, so a failing part shows up before the first hot week. Expect the coil, the outdoor unit, the refrigerant charge and the drain to be checked, and the maintenance plan includes it. The spring checklist lists what you can check first.
Often, yes, because an addition or finished attic is the hardest space for ducts to reach. A single ductless head cools it and, on heat-pump models, can heat it as well. We size the unit to the room rather than guessing.
