Signs it's time to call.
What happens on an AC repair visit?
We diagnose before we quote. That means reading pressures, checking the temperature split at the supply and return, going over the electrical side, and finding the actual failure. Then you get a price, and nothing comes off the truck until you approve it. The air conditioning overview covers tune-ups and replacement.
What gets checked first
Refrigerant pressures, the contactor and capacitor, the condenser fan motor, the blower, the condensate drain, and airflow across the evaporator coil. Most calls that come in as "the AC quit" end at one of those six.
What happens after the repair
We run the system and measure it. You get the temperature split at the register confirmed before we leave, so the fix is verified rather than assumed.
Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?
Warm air from a running system usually means one of four things: a dirty or iced evaporator coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor stopping the compressor, or a thermostat calling for the fan without calling for cooling. The outdoor unit running is not proof the compressor is running.
When to shut the system off
Ice on the refrigerant line or the indoor coil means airflow or refrigerant is wrong, and running the system that way is how a repair turns into a compressor replacement. Switch the cooling off and leave the fan running so the ice melts before anyone looks at it.
Can someone come out today?
Usually, yes. About nine calls in ten get handled the day you reach out, and the emergency line is answered at any hour. If you have no cooling in a heat wave, you go ahead of routine work.
A visit without surprises.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
Once a system is 12 years or older and the repair quote gets near a third of what a new one costs, replacement is usually the better money.
Repair or replace an air conditioner: what decides it.
| What we look at | Repair when | Replace when |
|---|---|---|
| System age | Under 12 years old | 12 years or older |
| Failed part | Capacitor, contactor, fan motor, or control board | Compressor or evaporator coil |
| Repair cost | The quote is well under a third of replacement cost | The quote is at or above roughly a third of replacement cost |
| Refrigerant | The system runs on R-410A or another refrigerant still in production | The system runs on R-22, which has not been produced or imported in the US since 2020 |
| Breakdown history | First failure in several seasons | Second or third service call in one summer |
| Energy bills | Steady year over year | Climbing with no change in how the house is used |
| Comfort | One room or one symptom affected | Uneven temperatures throughout the house |
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee, and X-Plan members get a 5-year warranty on qualified repairs. If a part is still inside the manufacturer's warranty period, we handle it as warranty work, whoever installed the system. Once the age and the failed part point the other way, replacement is the next page.
How do I book AC repair?
Call (844) 584-7399 or book online. The emergency line runs every day of the year. For anything that is not urgent, the office is staffed Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If your outdoor unit is a heat pump rather than an air conditioner, heat pump repair is the page you want.
