    Flat-Rate Pricing<\/h3>

    A fixed repair price agreed before we begin, not an hourly meter running while the technician works.<\/p><\/article>

    <\/path><\/svg><\/span>

    Seven Days a Week<\/h3>

    Cooling failures cluster in the first hot week of the year. We staff for it rather than pushing you to next week.<\/p><\/article>

    <\/path><\/svg><\/span>

    Every Make and Model<\/h3>

    We repair every major brand regardless of who installed it, and carry the parts that fail most often.<\/p><\/article>

    Leak Found, Not Just Topped Up<\/h3>

    Refrigerant does not get used up. If it is low there is a leak, and simply recharging it means paying again next season. We find it.<\/p><\/article>

    A few checks solve a surprising share of no-cooling calls. Confirm the thermostat is set to cool and the batteries are good. Check the breaker for the outdoor unit \u2014 a tripped breaker is common after a power interruption.<\/p>

    Look at the filter. A badly clogged filter restricts airflow enough to freeze the indoor coil, and a frozen coil stops cooling entirely. If you find ice on the pipes, switch the system to fan only for a few hours to thaw it before we arrive, and leave the cooling off.<\/p>

    If the outdoor unit is buried in leaves or grass clippings, clearing a foot of space around it helps more than people expect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    • Capacitor failure<\/strong> \u2014 the fan hums but will not start. Common and usually a same-visit fix.<\/li>
    • Refrigerant leak<\/strong> \u2014 cooling fades gradually over a season.<\/li>
    • Frozen evaporator coil<\/strong> \u2014 nearly always airflow or refrigerant.<\/li>
    • Blocked condensate drain<\/strong> \u2014 water around the furnace below the coil.<\/li>

      Almost always restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Both need diagnosing \u2014 running it frozen risks the compressor, which is the expensive part.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      We can, but if it is low there is a leak. Topping up without finding it means paying for the same refrigerant again next year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      If it is over twelve years old, uses discontinued R-22 refrigerant, or the compressor has failed, replacement is usually the cheaper answer over a few seasons.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
