How to fix an AC that isn't cooling

  1. Check the thermostat

    Set to Cool, target five degrees below room temperature, and check that the batteries are fresh.

  2. Check the filter

    Hold it to the light. If light doesn't pass through, replace it.

  3. Check the breaker

    Only if the panel is dry and undamaged, switch the tripped breaker fully off, then back on once. Never keep resetting it.

  4. Check the outdoor unit

    Clear loose leaves and debris from around the unit, and observe whether the fan is spinning. Do not remove covers or reach inside.

  5. Check for ice

    Ice on the refrigerant line means stop cooling, switch to fan-only and let it thaw. Call if ice returns.

When to stop and call

  • The breaker trips again after one reset.
  • Ice returns after thawing.
  • The unit hums but won't start.
  • The air stays warm with everything else normal.

How an AC repair visit works

  1. 1

    Full diagnostic on site

    Not a guess from the driveway. We test the system under load.

  2. 2

    Findings in plain language

    We'll show you the failed part rather than describe it.

  3. 3

    Fixed written price

    Before anything is touched. You approve it or you don't.

  4. 4

    Repaired and tested

    We run the system through a full cycle before we leave.

What AC repair costs

Most AC failures come down to a single component: a capacitor, a contactor, a fan motor. Those are parts, not systems. We'll tell you when a repair buys you several more years, even when the replacement is the larger invoice. Our technicians don't work on commission, so there's nothing in it for us either way.

Tune-Ups & Maintenance

Most summer breakdowns we attend were visible months earlier. A tune-up is the cheapest thing you can do to a system.

We'll tell you plainly when a repair is the better call. When it isn't, you get a system sized for this climate rather than a catalogue default.

Indoor Air Quality

Valley air carries dust most of the year and smoke for part of it. Ordinary filtration isn't built for either.
