Q: I had a new air conditioner installed at my house about three years ago. After I had a number of problems in the beginning with the coil, the company finally replaced that. But now when the air conditioner starts up, there’s a loud boom and a lot of vibration in the system. What could be wrong with it?
A: This kind of problem can sometimes be fixed by installing a new jump starter on your compressor. But it’s also probable that the compressor itself is breaking down and needs to be replaced. Hopefully, this type of problem is covered by the warranty for your AC. However, if you had a lot of problems with the original installer, you might want to call another company to look at your system.
