Signs Your AC Needs Repair
- Blowing warm or room-temperature air — often low refrigerant, a failed capacitor, or compressor trouble.
- Weak airflow from vents — blower issues, frozen evaporator coil, or duct restrictions.
- Short cycling — the system starts and stops constantly without cooling the house.
- Water pooling around the indoor unit — clogged condensate drain.
- Grinding, squealing, or banging from the outdoor condenser.
- Breaker trips every time the AC kicks on.
- Humidity won't drop even though the AC runs constantly.
Common Fixes, Done Same-Day
Capacitors, contactors, fan motors, thermostats, refrigerant leaks (located and repaired properly — not just topped off), frozen coils, clogged drains, and control boards. Our trucks carry the parts that fail most, so the majority of repairs wrap up in one visit. If your system uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant, we'll explain your options honestly, including when a retrofit or replacement makes more sense than another expensive recharge.
What a Repair Visit Looks Like
Full diagnostic
We check refrigerant pressures, electrical components, airflow, and the condensate system — not just the obvious symptom.
Upfront price
Flat-rate pricing shown before work starts. Diagnostic fee waived with approved repair.
Repair & verify
We fix it, then verify temperature drop across the coil and proper cycling before we leave.
AC Repair FAQs
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
The most common culprits are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor preventing the compressor from starting, or a frozen evaporator coil from restricted airflow. A diagnostic finds which one in about an hour.
How much does AC repair cost?
Simple electrical repairs often run $150–$400; refrigerant leak repairs and major components run higher. You always approve the exact price first.
My AC is 15+ years old — should I keep repairing it?
If repairs are frequent or a single repair approaches half the cost of a new system, replacement usually saves money within a few summers. We'll show you both options.
