Schedule OnlineCommon AC Problems We Fix
Most AC breakdowns in Florida come down to a handful of recurring failures that our AC repair technicians diagnose every day. On the Space Coast, salt air accelerates corrosion on electrical contacts and condenser coils, and afternoon thunderstorms make lightning-related failures like blown capacitors, fried control boards, and damaged wiring harnesses far more common than in most of the country.
Here are the symptoms we most commonly see and what's typically behind them:
| Symptom | Common Cause |
|---|---|
| AC not cooling | Low refrigerant, dirty coils, failed compressor |
| AC blowing warm air | Refrigerant leak or failed reversing valve |
| AC running constantly | Undersized system, dirty filter, thermostat fault |
| AC making banging or rattling noise | Loose fan blade, failing motor bearings |
| AC won't turn on | Tripped breaker, bad capacitor, failed contactor |
| Ice on the refrigerant lines | Low refrigerant, blocked airflow, dirty evaporator coil |
| Water leaking indoors | Clogged condensate drain line |
| High humidity inside despite AC running | Oversized unit, low refrigerant, failing coil |
Not sure what's wrong? Ellington's technicians diagnose the issue on the spot with professional testing equipment. No guesswork, no upselling.

AC Repair Costs: What to Expect in Florida
AC repair costs in Florida vary based on the type of repair, the parts needed, and whether refrigerant work is required.
For refrigerant in particular, costs depend heavily on what type of refrigerant your system uses. Systems built between 2010 and 2024 use R-410A, which is widely available and moderately priced. Older systems using R-22 run significantly higher because EPA regulations banned R-22 production in 2020 and supply is now extremely limited. Systems installed in 2025 or later use R-454B or R-32, which carry their own pricing considerations. Ask your technician which refrigerant your system uses before budgeting for a recharge.
Ellington provides upfront pricing before any work begins, to ensure everything is as clear and straightforward as possible. To get a quote, call (321) 222-0625 or schedule online.
Should You Repair or Replace Your AC?
Ellington's technicians will give you an honest assessment of both options and recommend whichever makes more financial sense for your situation.
In established Brevard County communities like Cocoa and Titusville, older housing stock means aging systems are common. If your unit is 10 years or older and facing a major repair, it's worth an honest conversation about whether continued service makes financial sense. This is especially true for systems running R-22 refrigerant, where replacement is often the only cost-effective path forward.
To assess situations like these, here’s a useful rule of thumb: multiply your system's age in years by the estimated repair cost. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. A 15-year-old system facing a $1,200 compressor repair scores $18,000 on that scale. That's well past the threshold where you might want to explore replacement.
If replacement turns out to be the right call, Ellington handles AC installation throughout Brevard County. And if you're on the fence, an AC maintenance visit can help establish a clearer picture of your system's overall condition before you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most AC repairs in Rockledge and Brevard County are completed in a single visit of one to three hours, depending on the issue. Simple repairs like capacitor replacements or drain line clearing are often done in under an hour. More complex work, such as refrigerant system repairs or coil cleaning, may take two to three hours. If a specialty part needs to be ordered, a follow-up visit is scheduled as quickly as possible.
An AC unit that runs continuously without cooling is most often caused by low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty evaporator coil that restricts heat exchange, or a failing compressor. On the Space Coast, a clogged air filter from the area's high humidity and dust can also cause significant cooling loss. A technician can pinpoint the exact cause with a system inspection and pressure test.
