Most air conditioner failures are electrical: capacitors, contactors and fan motors that give out under the first long heat wave. Others come from airflow problems, a plugged drain or low refrigerant from a leak. We diagnose the cause, quote a fixed price and carry the common parts.

- Running but blowing warm air
- Ice on the refrigerant lines or indoor coil
- Water around the furnace or on the ceiling below
- Outdoor unit hums but the fan does not spin
- Trips the breaker
- Short cycles on and off
- House feels clammy even when it is cool
- Electric bill spiked

A word about refrigerant
An air conditioner does not use up refrigerant. If it is low, it is leaking, and adding more without finding the leak is money you will spend again next summer. Systems built before 2010 often use R-22, which is no longer produced and is expensive. Equipment made from 2025 on uses newer refrigerants such as R-454B. We will tell you which you have and what makes financial sense.
What affects AC repair cost
- The failed part. Capacitors and contactors are small repairs. Compressors and coils are major
- Refrigerant type and how much is needed
- Whether the part is under manufacturer warranty
- Age. On a system over 12 to 15 years old, a major repair is often better put toward replacement

AC Repair FAQ
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
The usual suspects are a dirty filter or coil, a failed capacitor, a frozen indoor coil or low refrigerant from a leak.
How much does AC repair cost?
The diagnostic is $89 and is waived when we do the repair. You get the exact price before work starts.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
If it is under 10 years old, repair usually wins. Past 12 to 15 years, or if it uses R-22 and has a leak, replacement is usually the better use of the money.
Do you work on heat pumps and mini-splits?
Yes, both ducted heat pumps and ductless systems.
