OUR PROCESS

From call to cool air

Step 1 — Schedule Your Visit

Call or book online. We will ask a few questions about your system and get a tech headed your way.

Step 2 — On-Site Diagnosis

Your technician inspects the full system: thermostat, electrical, refrigerant levels, coils, and airflow.

Step 3 — Written Estimate Before Work Starts

You see the price and approve it before we touch a single part. No surprises.

Step 4 — Repair, Test, and Clean Up

We complete the repair, run the system through a full cycle, and verify every vent is blowing cold before we leave.

Services

AC repair services we offer

The word "AC repair" covers a lot of ground. Here is what our technicians handle on a typical service call.

Refrigerant Recharge & Leak Repair

We locate the leak, patch or replace the line, and recharge to manufacturer spec.

Compressor Replacement

The most expensive single part in your system. We test before recommending replacement and source OEM parts when possible.

Coil Cleaning

Dirty condenser and evaporator coils reduce efficiency by up to 30%. We clean or replace as needed.

Fan & Blower Motor Replacement

If your outdoor unit is not spinning or indoor airflow is weak, the motor is usually the cause.

Capacitor & Contactor Replacement

The most common reason an AC unit will not start. A 20-minute fix if caught early.

Thermostat Troubleshooting

Sometimes the problem is not the AC at all. We test the thermostat first to rule it out.

Ductwork Inspection & Sealing

Leaky ducts waste cooled air in your attic or crawl space. We test for leaks and seal them.

Full System Tune-Up

Preventive maintenance that catches small problems before they become emergency calls in July.

FAQ

AC repair questions we hear every week

How much does AC repair cost? +

It depends on the problem. A capacitor swap might run $150 to $300. A compressor replacement is typically $1,200 to $2,500 including labor. Every job starts with a free estimate so you know the price before we start. [CONFIRM EXACT RANGES WITH CLIENT]

How long does an AC repair take? +

Most repairs are done in one to three hours. If we need to order a part, we will tell you upfront and schedule the follow-up visit as soon as the part arrives, usually within one to two business days.

Should I repair or replace my AC unit? +

As a rule of thumb, if the repair costs more than half of a new system and the unit is over 10 years old, replacement is usually the better investment. We will give you both options with pricing so you can decide.

Do you work on all AC brands? +

Yes. Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Lennox, Trane, York, Amana, Daikin, and others. If it cools air, we can fix it.

Do I need to be home during the repair? +

Someone 18 or older needs to be present to authorize the work and sign off on the estimate. We will give you a time window so you are not waiting around all day.
