What a visit includes.
Cooling gone out, or running but not keeping up? We diagnose it properly and fix the actual fault.
Same-day appointments are often available. For a house with no cooling at all, call us — 24/7 emergency service is available.
- Full system diagnosis, not a parts-swap guess
- Refrigerant pressures, electrical and airflow all checked
- A plain explanation of what failed and why
- Repair-versus-replace advice when the system is near end of life
We stand behind our workmanship. If a repair we made is not right, call and we will come back to it.
The diagnostic cost is given to you up front. A technician diagnoses the system on site. Diagnostic cost is given to you up front, and you approve the repair before any work starts.
Sound familiar?.
Any of these is worth a call. For no heat or no cooling at all, ring us rather than sending a request — emergency service runs 24/7.
- Outdoor unit humming but the fan is not turning
- Air from the vents is not cold, or barely cool
- System runs constantly and never reaches the set temperature
- Ice on the refrigerant line or the indoor coil
- System shuts off by itself and will not restart
- Water around the indoor unit, or a ceiling stain below it
- House reaches temperature but feels damp and sticky

About ac repair on the coast.
What usually goes wrong
Most no-cool calls come down to a short list. A failed run capacitor — cheap, quick, and by far the most common. A seized contactor holding the compressor off while the indoor fan keeps blowing, which is why the vents are still moving air. A fouled or iced evaporator coil, which looks like a refrigerant problem from the thermostat but is usually an airflow problem. A blocked condensate drain tripping the float switch, which shuts the whole system down with no warning at all.
And a low charge — which matters more than the others, because refrigerant is not consumed. It circulates in a sealed loop. If it is low, it leaked, and adding more without finding the leak buys weeks rather than years. A technician should be telling you where it went.
In this climate there is a sixth cause worth naming: the system is fine and the house is humid. A home that hits its set temperature and still feels wrong is describing a moisture problem, not a cooling one, and no repair to the outdoor unit will change it.
How we diagnose it
Electrical, refrigerant side and airflow, in that order, before any part is replaced. That sequence is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails again in three weeks — a part swapped on a hunch fixes a symptom and leaves the cause running.
You get the finding in plain terms: what failed, why, and what it takes to put right. Where the system is far enough through its life that a repair is not worth making, we will say so and explain the reasoning rather than quietly steering you toward a replacement.
What you can safely check first
Before you call, four things are worth thirty seconds each. The filter — a badly clogged one causes most of what looks like equipment failure. The thermostat, including its batteries and that it is actually set to cool. The breaker. And whether the outdoor unit is clear of leaves, clippings and shrubbery growing into it.
What to leave alone: anything involving refrigerant, anything inside the electrical panel or the unit's control box, and the capacitor in particular — it holds a charge after the power is off. That is not caution for its own sake.

Symptoms this fixes.
Each page covers the usual causes, what you can safely check yourself, and when it is time to call.
Air conditioner not cooling, not starting, freezing up, leaking or making noise.
- AC running but not coolingAn air conditioner can run without cooling properly when airflow is restricted, the indoor coil has frozen, a component has failed, or the refrigerant charge is low because of a leak.
- AC won't turn onWhen an air conditioner won't turn on at all, the cause is usually power, the thermostat, a safety switch that has shut the system off (often a full condensate drain), or a failed electrical component such as a capacitor or contactor.
- AC frozen / iced upIce on an air conditioner's copper lines or indoor coil almost always means the coil is getting too cold — usually because airflow across it is restricted, or because the refrigerant charge is low from a leak.
- AC leaking waterAn air conditioner leaking water indoors is usually a blocked condensate drain, an overflowing or cracked drain pan, or a frozen coil melting.
- Outdoor unit not runningIf the indoor fan is blowing but the outdoor unit isn't running, the house gets moving air without cooling.
- AC making a noiseA new noise from an air conditioner usually points to a specific part.

Questions we get asked.
- How soon can someone come out?
- Same-day appointments are often available, though not guaranteed on any given day. For a house with no cooling at all, call rather than send a request — 24/7 emergency service covers exactly that, and those calls get prioritized.
- What does a repair cost?
- It depends entirely on what failed, which is why we diagnose before quoting. What you get up front is the diagnostic cost, and you approve any repair before work begins. No work happens on an unapproved number.
- Do I need a repair or a replacement?
- Under about ten years old with a discrete component failure, repair is usually right. Compressor failure, a coil leak, repairs starting to cluster, or a system still running R-22 all move the conversation toward replacement. We will give you the honest read either way.
- My AC is blowing warm air. Is that the same as it not turning on?
- No, and the difference is useful. If the blower is running, the electrical side is largely working and the fault sits in the heat-transfer chain — charge, airflow or a fouled coil. That narrows the diagnosis considerably before anyone arrives.
- Can you work on any brand?
- Yes. We are a Trane Authorized Dealer, which affects the equipment we install rather than what we will service.
