Common AC Problems We Fix

  • Blowing warm air or not cooling enough: low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor, a dirty coil, or an outdoor unit that isn’t running.
  • AC won’t turn on: tripped breaker, blown fuse, bad contactor, thermostat or control board problems.
  • AC won’t shut off or runs nonstop: thermostat or sensor issues, a stuck contactor, or a system that’s undersized or low on refrigerant.
  • Water leaking indoors: clogged condensate drain, failed drain pump, or a frozen evaporator coil.
  • Ice on the lines or coil: airflow problems, a dirty filter, or low refrigerant.
  • Loud noises: worn fan motors, loose parts, failing compressor or bad capacitor.
  • High electric bills: dirty coils, refrigerant problems, or an aging system working too hard.

We handle repairs of any size, from a simple part swap to a compressor replacement.

AC down right now?

Call us and tell us what it's doing. We'll get a licensed technician out as soon as possible, anywhere in San Diego County.

Before You Call: 3 Quick Checks

  1. Thermostat: make sure it’s set to Cool and a few degrees below room temperature, and replace the batteries if the screen is blank.
  2. Breaker: check your electrical panel for a tripped AC or furnace breaker. If it trips again right away, leave it off and call us.
  3. Filter: a clogged filter can make the AC freeze up and stop cooling. Swap it if it’s dirty.

Still not working? That’s our job.

What Happens When We Come Out

  1. We ask what you’ve noticed: when it started, what it’s doing, any noises or smells.
  2. Full diagnostic of the indoor and outdoor units: electrical, refrigerant pressures, airflow, drain, and thermostat.
  3. We explain the problem in plain English and give you a written price before any work starts. No surprises.
  4. We fix it and run the system to make sure it’s cooling properly before we leave.

Repair or Replace Your AC?

Most AC problems are worth repairing. Replacement starts to make sense when the system is 12–15+ years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, needs a new compressor, or keeps breaking down. We’ll give you both options honestly, including any rebates available in California, and let you decide. See our HVAC Installation & Replacement page.

Keep It From Breaking Again

Most summer breakdowns start with things a tune-up catches early: dirty coils, a weak capacitor, a clogged drain. Ask about AC maintenance, or see mini-split repair & maintenance if you have a ductless system.

We'll contact you for a diagnosis or consultation

FAQ about air conditioner repair

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

The most common causes are a dirty filter, a failed capacitor, a frozen coil, low refrigerant from a leak, or an outdoor unit that isn't running. Check the filter and thermostat first; if that doesn't fix it, it needs a diagnostic.

Why is my AC freezing up?

Ice usually means poor airflow (a dirty filter or blocked vents) or low refrigerant. Turn the AC off and let it thaw, or switch to Fan only, then call for service. Running it frozen can damage the compressor.

Do you repair heat pumps and mini-splits too?

Yes. We repair central air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits, including multi-zone systems.

How quickly can you repair my air conditioner?

The timeframe depends on the nature of the issue. We strive to complete the work as quickly as possible without compromising quality. However, the exact time depends on the complexity of the problem.

What is the cost?

Our repair diagnostic is $85, and it is credited toward the repair if you go ahead. After we find the problem, we give you a written price before any work starts, so you can decide. Many repairs are simple fixes like a capacitor, contactor, or clogged drain. Estimates for a new system are free.

Do you provide a warranty?

Yes, we provide a warranty for all types of work. The warranty period depends on the type of repair.
