How quickly can you get to my home for an emergency AC repair?

For emergency calls we target a 2-hour arrival window, 7 days a week including evenings and holidays. During peak summer heat waves demand spikes, but we always prioritize homes with elderly residents, young children, or medical equipment on file.

What does an AC repair typically cost?

Common repairs range from $150 for a capacitor swap up to $1,200 for a compressor repair. Our diagnostic fee is $79–$99 and is credited toward the repair if you book same day. We provide a written quote before touching anything.

Does homeowners insurance cover AC repairs?

Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover mechanical breakdowns from normal wear and tear. However, if the failure was caused by a covered peril — such as a lightning strike or power surge — your claim may be valid. We provide detailed documentation to support insurance claims when applicable.

Can you repair my AC after hours or on weekends?

Yes. We offer after-hours and weekend service 365 days a year. After-hours calls carry a service fee premium of $50–$75 over standard rates, which is disclosed upfront before dispatch.

Why is my AC blowing warm air?

Warm air usually means low refrigerant from a leak, a failed compressor, or a dirty evaporator coil blocking heat exchange. Running the system with low refrigerant can damage the compressor permanently. Call us before continuing to run the unit.

How long does a typical AC repair take?

Most repairs — capacitor swaps, refrigerant recharges, contactor replacements — take 1–2 hours. Compressor jobs may take 3–4 hours. Because we stock 200+ parts on each truck, the vast majority of repairs are completed in a single visit.

Do you service all AC brands?

We service all major residential and light-commercial AC brands including Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, Bryant, and York. Our technicians are NATE-certified and factory-trained on multiple platforms.

Is my AC repair covered under a home warranty?

Many home warranty plans cover AC repairs and replacements. We work with all major home warranty providers. Call your warranty company first to get an authorization number, then call us — we will coordinate directly with your provider to minimize your out-of-pocket cost.

What should I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?

Turn the thermostat to fan-only mode to circulate air without stressing the compressor. Close blinds on sun-facing windows, keep interior doors closed, and move to the coolest room in the house. If outdoor temperatures are extreme and you have vulnerable household members, let our dispatcher know so we can flag your call for priority routing.

Should I repair my old AC or replace it?

A good rule of thumb: if the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new system's price and the unit is over 10 years old, replacement often delivers better long-term value through energy savings and warranty coverage. Our technicians will give you an honest comparison — we do not push replacements when a repair makes financial sense.

Why People Come To Us

Common Problems We Solve

Your air conditioner shuts off mid-cycle on the hottest day of the year, leaving your home sweltering and your family unable to sleep or work comfortably.
Strange banging, rattling, or squealing noises from your AC unit signal a mechanical failure that will only worsen — and cost far more — if left alone for even a few more hours.
Warm air blowing from your vents means refrigerant is leaking or a compressor is failing; running the system in this state can cause permanent damage and void your manufacturer warranty.

The Process

How It Works

Our dispatcher prioritizes emergency AC calls and routes the nearest licensed technician to your home — typically within 2 hours, same day, including evenings and weekends.
The technician performs a full system diagnostic: checking refrigerant levels, electrical connections, capacitors, contactors, and compressor health before recommending any repair.
We carry the most common replacement parts on every truck so most repairs are completed in a single visit — and we back every repair with a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty.
