Air conditioning faults tend to be diagnosed by symptom and fixed by guess, which is how people end up paying for a refrigerant top-up every summer.
We diagnose first: refrigerant pressures, airflow, electrical controls, and whether the system was correctly sized for the house in the first place. That last one explains a surprising number of complaints where every component tests fine and the house still isn’t comfortable.
When a repair is the right answer we’ll say so, including on old equipment. When it isn’t, we’ll give you the replacement number alongside the repair number and the honest expectation of how long the repair buys you — rather than presenting replacement as the only option.
Worth knowing if replacement is on the table: the same phase-in that affects gas water heaters reaches furnaces in 2029, so if your heating and cooling are due around the same time, there’s a sequencing decision worth making deliberately.
Diagnostic fee stated upfront and credited against the repair if you proceed.
Common questions
- My AC runs but the house never cools. What's wrong?
- Most often low refrigerant from a leak, a restricted or dirty coil, or airflow problems in the ducts. Occasionally it's a system that was oversized at installation and short-cycles before it can pull the heat out. Diagnosis tells us which — they have very different fixes.
- Is topping up refrigerant a real fix?
- No. A sealed system doesn't consume refrigerant, so if it's low there's a leak. Adding more without finding the leak means you'll pay for the same call next season. We'll find it, then tell you honestly whether the repair is worth it on that unit's age.
- When is it worth replacing rather than repairing?
- Rough rule — if the unit is over 12 years old, the repair is a major component, and it uses a phased-out refrigerant, replacement usually wins. Under that, repair generally does. We'll give you both numbers and let you decide rather than steering you.
- Why does it turn on and off every few minutes?
- Short cycling. Usually restricted airflow, a failing sensor or control, or a system oversized for the house. It costs efficiency and shortens compressor life, so it's worth diagnosing rather than tolerating.
