Commercial HVAC Repair Services

Complete HVAC Repair Coverage

Our HVAC repair services cover everything from residential air conditioner breakdowns to commercial heating and cooling system failures. Whether you’re dealing with a home AC that’s blowing warm air or a business HVAC system that can’t keep up with demand, we handle both. River Gardens businesses know that when temperatures hit extreme levels, HVAC failures can shut down operations. Our commercial HVAC repair service includes emergency response for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities that can’t afford downtime during California’s peak heat periods. We service all major brands and system types, from traditional central air to ductless mini-splits, heat pumps, and commercial rooftop units. We carry the diagnostic equipment and replacement parts needed to get your system operational quickly.

How quickly can you repair my AC during a River Gardens heatwave?

We prioritize emergency calls during extreme heat events when temperatures exceed 100 degrees. Most emergency repairs are completed the same day, often within a few hours of your call. Our trucks stay stocked with the most common replacement parts for AC systems, so we can fix issues like failed capacitors, refrigerant leaks, or compressor problems without delays. During peak summer months, we extend our service hours and bring in additional technicians to handle the increased demand that comes with California’s intense heat.

What's the most common HVAC problem during California summers?

Refrigerant leaks and dirty air filters cause most summer breakdowns in River Gardens. When your AC runs constantly in 110+ degree heat, low refrigerant makes the system work harder and eventually fail. Clogged filters restrict airflow, forcing your system to overwork and potentially freeze up. We check both issues first during diagnostics because they’re responsible for about 70% of the emergency calls we receive during heat waves. Regular maintenance prevents most of these problems, but when they do occur, we can typically fix them in one visit.

Do you service commercial HVAC systems in River Gardens?

Yes, we handle commercial HVAC repair for businesses throughout River Gardens, from small office buildings to larger retail and industrial facilities. Commercial systems face unique challenges during California heat waves when they’re running at maximum capacity for extended periods. Our commercial service includes emergency repairs for rooftop units, package systems, and large central air installations. We understand that business HVAC failures during peak temperatures can mean lost revenue, so we prioritize commercial emergency calls and often work after hours to minimize disruption to your operations.

How much does HVAC repair typically cost in River Gardens?

Most common repairs like capacitor replacement or refrigerant recharge range from $150-$400, while more complex issues like compressor replacement can cost $1,200-$2,500 depending on your system size and brand. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what the repair costs before we touch your system. If multiple repairs are needed, we’ll prioritize the most critical fixes to get your AC running, then discuss whether additional repairs make sense or if replacement would be more cost-effective long-term.

Can you prevent my HVAC system from breaking down during summer?

Regular maintenance significantly reduces the chance of summer breakdowns, but California’s extreme heat puts stress on even well-maintained systems. We recommend spring tune-ups that include refrigerant level checks, coil cleaning, and filter replacement. During maintenance visits, we identify components that are wearing out before they fail completely. This allows you to schedule repairs during milder weather rather than dealing with emergency breakdowns when temperatures hit their peak. While we can’t prevent every possible failure, proper maintenance eliminates about 80% of the emergency calls we see during heat waves.

What should I do if my AC stops working during extreme heat?

First, check your circuit breaker and thermostat settings—sometimes the solution is simple. If those are fine, turn off your system to prevent further damage and call us immediately for emergency service. While waiting for our technician, open windows if outside temperatures are cooler than inside, use fans to circulate air, and stay hydrated. Don’t attempt to repair the system yourself, especially during extreme heat when improper handling can make problems worse. We prioritize emergency calls during heat waves and typically arrive within a few hours to restore your cooling.
