More about Hudson

A house with radiators and no ductwork needs ductless heads, while a renovated building whose walls were opened may take central air instead. In either case, the unit is sized to the rooms rather than to the biggest model that fits, and the visit starts by checking what ducts, if any, are already there.

AC repair in Hudson: leaks, hot upstairs rooms and first-heat checks

Leaks, hot upstairs rooms and a first-heat check are three things worth raising when you call.

  • Leaking heads

    A ductless head that drips is usually a drain or filter problem; mini-split repair covers the fix.

  • Central AC in renovated houses

    When a renovated building has ductwork and the AC stops cooling, start with AC repair.

  • Test it before the heat arrives

    Run the system once in spring so a weak part shows up in May rather than July; the spring checklist covers the basics.

Houses and multi-unit buildings in Hudson are served by our cooling technicians, for central air and mini-split faults. Call Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, or book online. Same-day service is offered within business hours when the schedule allows.

Yes. A ductless system suits Hudson houses without ducts: slim wall heads, a thin line set through the wall and an outdoor unit, so plaster is largely left alone. Multi-unit buildings can have a separate zone for each apartment. See ductless installation.

Conventional central air needs ducts, so a house without them is a ductless or small-duct job, and ductless is the less invasive. We can cool the rooms you use most first and add heads later, rather than treating the whole house as one project.

Central AC suits a building that already has good ducts or has been opened up in a renovation. A mini-split suits one that has neither. The central AC versus ductless article compares cost, noise and comfort.

Moisture builds up from damp basements and from air conditioners that are too big to run long enough. A properly sized system plus a whole-home dehumidifier pulls the humidity down, and sealing the basement air path helps.

Heat gathers on upper floors, and a system short on airflow or capacity cannot keep up. Balancing, duct repair or an added return can help, but a ductless head dedicated to the bedrooms often settles it, because it cools those rooms directly.

Repair a unit with one failed part that otherwise cooled well. Replace one with a failed compressor, a leaking coil or declining cooling. The AC repair versus replace note lists the cues, and a technician can confirm.

We do. We work on both kinds of system, and a house with radiators and no ducts is planned around that for a repair or an install alike. AC repair describes the usual central-system faults, and mini-split repair covers ductless.

The usual causes are a clogged condensate drain line, a dirty filter or a head that is not level. The head removes water from the air, and if it cannot drain, it drips. We clear the line, check the slope and clean the filter and coil.

Same-day service is offered within business hours when the schedule allows. Phone early on a hot day. The office opens at 7:30am, Monday to Friday. We do not run nights or weekends. Tell dispatch whether the problem is one apartment or the whole building, and whether the unit runs, leaks or stays off.
