Tell us the make of your system and what has changed. Useful details include when the problem began, whether the system runs without cooling, whether only some rooms are affected, and any displayed error message. You do not need to diagnose the fault before contacting us.
Provide the complete service address and a phone number where our team can reach you. For an urgent breakdown, call the office to discuss availability rather than relying on an online request for an immediate response.
For routine care, see preventive AC maintenance. If you are also considering a new system, explore installation and replacement.

Describe what the system is doing
A room that stays warm while the unit runs, weak airflow, water at an indoor unit, a new sound or a displayed fault code point to different lines of investigation. If several indoor units share one outdoor unit, tell us whether the problem affects one room or every room. Note whether the issue appears only in cooling mode, after a long run, or when outdoor temperatures change.
Reduced cooling can be associated with airflow, controls, drainage or refrigerant issues; a technician needs to identify the cause before recommending a repair. An error code is useful information, but it is not a complete diagnosis. If the system has needed repeated work or still leaves rooms uncomfortable after repairs, discuss replacement as well as the current fault. Rice's cooling work focuses on Fujitsu and Mitsubishi systems.
Questions about AC repair
Why is the unit running but the room still warm?
The reason is not obvious from that symptom alone. Tell us the set temperature, whether air is moving normally and whether other rooms are cooling.
Does one leaking indoor unit mean the whole system needs replacing?
No conclusion can be made from water at the unit alone. The source of the water and the condition of the system need to be checked first.
What should I do with an error code?
Include the exact code in your request, along with the model if it is safely visible. Leave internal electrical and refrigerant work to a technician.
