Your AC repair includes full system diagnosis, quality replacement parts, and thorough testing. We handle everything from refrigerant leaks and compressor issues to electrical problems and airflow restrictions.
California’s energy efficiency standards mean your repair needs to restore proper performance, not just get your system running. We ensure your AC meets local requirements while delivering the cooling comfort you expect.
Every repair comes with our warranty on parts and labor. If something goes wrong with our work, we fix it at no charge. That’s how confident we are in getting your AC repair right the first time.
AC repair costs in Wills Acres typically range from $150 for minor issues like thermostat problems to $1,500 for major component replacements like compressors. Most common repairs—refrigerant leaks, capacitor replacement, or fan motor issues—cost between $300-$800.
The exact cost depends on your system’s age, the specific problem, and which parts need replacement. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know the total cost before we begin. No hourly rates or surprise charges that inflate your final bill.
Most AC repairs take 1-3 hours to complete. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement or capacitor issues usually take about an hour. More complex problems like refrigerant leaks or compressor replacement can take 2-4 hours.
We schedule enough time to diagnose the problem thoroughly and complete the repair properly. Rushing through repairs leads to callbacks and more problems later. Our goal is fixing your AC right the first time, even if it takes a bit longer upfront.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair service in Wills Acres when your cooling system fails during extreme heat. California summers can be dangerous without working air conditioning, especially for elderly residents or families with young children.
Our emergency service includes evenings, weekends, and holidays. Emergency calls have priority scheduling, and we typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call. Emergency service rates apply after normal business hours, but we’ll explain all costs upfront before beginning any work.
Call for immediate AC repair if your system stops cooling completely, makes loud grinding or screeching noises, or if you smell burning odors from your unit. These indicate serious problems that can damage expensive components or create safety hazards.
Also call immediately if you notice ice forming on your AC unit, water leaking inside your home, or if your circuit breaker keeps tripping when the AC runs. These problems won’t resolve themselves and typically worsen quickly without professional attention.
Repair your AC if it’s less than 10 years old and the repair cost is under half the replacement cost. Systems older than 15 years with major component failures usually make more financial sense to replace, especially if repair costs exceed $1,000.
Consider replacement if your AC requires frequent repairs, struggles to cool your home effectively, or if your energy bills have increased significantly. We’ll assess your system honestly and explain whether repair or replacement makes better long-term financial sense for your situation.
All our AC repairs include warranty coverage on both parts and labor. Parts warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from 1-5 years. Our labor warranty covers our workmanship for one full year from the repair date.
If something goes wrong with our repair work during the warranty period, we return and fix it at no charge. This includes the original problem recurring or new issues directly related to our repair. We stand behind our work because we want your AC running properly for years, not just until we leave your home.
