Why is my AC running but not cooling in Aledo?

In Aledo’s builder-grade units, the most common cause is a failed or weakened capacitor. The system runs but can’t move refrigerant effectively. Other causes include low refrigerant from a coil leak, a clogged condensate drain, or a dirty condenser coil. We diagnose the exact cause before recommending anything.

How much does AC repair cost in Aledo, TX?

Most Aledo residential AC repairs fall between $150 and $600. Capacitor replacements are at the lower end — $150–$250 for most builder-grade units. Refrigerant recharges and compressor work run higher. Flat-rate price before we start.

My HVAC system is only 7 years old — why does it need repair already?

Builder-grade systems installed during Aledo’s construction boom were designed for cost, not longevity. Running 8–14 hours per day through Parker County’s long summers accelerates wear on capacitors, contactors, and refrigerant seals. A 7-year-old builder-grade unit needing its first repair is completely normal. A 7-year-old unit needing full replacement is almost always being oversold.

Should I repair or replace my AC in Aledo?

Under 10 years old with a component failure — repair almost always makes sense. Over 15 years with a compressor failure — replacement may win on 5-year economics. We run the honest numbers both ways. Nobody at Hobson earns a commission for selling you a new unit.

How fast can you get to Aledo from Weatherford?

Less than 10 minutes on I-20. We run Aledo jobs daily. Same-day service is standard. Call 817-341-5142 for current availability.

What is the $5,000 rule for HVAC?

Multiply the system’s age in years by the repair cost. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement may make more economic sense. A 9-year-old unit with a $600 repair = $5,400 — borderline. We do this analysis honestly and show you both options.

Why Aledo AC Problems Are Different

The Builder-Grade Boom and What It Left Behind

Aledo’s rapid growth left many newer homes with builder-grade HVAC systems that now struggle in extreme heat, causing common failures like bad capacitors, refrigerant leaks, and clogged condensate drains.

High-Load Summers in a Growing Suburb

Aledo’s open terrain and newer, low-shade subdivisions create heavy summer heat loads, causing builder-grade HVAC systems to fail faster—especially weak capacitors during long 105° cooling cycles.

Mixed Housing Stock in Older Aledo Neighbourhoods

Older Aledo homes near FM 1187 often have aging HVAC systems from the 1990s–2000s, with worn compressors, failing contactors, outdated ductwork, and reduced cooling efficiency during extreme summer temperatures.

COMMON REPAIRS WE HANDLE DAILY:

Failed capacitors (Common New-Build Issue)

Failed capacitors

Frozen coils (airflow restriction)

Compressor issues

Contactor failures

Most are same-day fixes. Our trucks carry the parts that fail most often in Aledo’s housing stock.

The Aledo Summer Reality

Your Aledo AC may run but stop cooling during extreme heat. In 7–8-year-old builder-grade units, weak capacitors are often the cause. We diagnose first, confirm the real issue, and only recommend the repair your system actually needs.
