Complete AC Repair Services

We Fix All AC Problems

We handle everything from simple refrigerant leaks to complete compressor replacements. Frozen coils, electrical issues, thermostat problems, ductwork repairs – if it’s keeping your house hot, we can fix it.

Our service includes complete system diagnostics, not just fixing the obvious problem. Many AC issues have underlying causes that create bigger problems later if ignored.

You get the same thorough approach whether it’s an emergency repair or routine maintenance. Palo Alto’s climate is tough on air conditioning systems, and we know what fails first and why.

Most AC repairs in Palo Alto get completed the same day you call. We keep common parts in our trucks and prioritize emergency calls during heat waves. Simple issues like refrigerant leaks or thermostat problems usually take 1-2 hours. More complex repairs like compressor replacement might take half a day, but we’ll get your system running again fast. If we can’t fix it immediately, we’ll explain exactly what’s needed and how long it will take.
AC repair costs depend on what’s actually broken. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor run $150-300. Refrigerant leaks typically cost $300-600 depending on the location and amount needed. Major component replacement like compressors range from $1,200-2,500. We give you upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges or hidden fees – the price we quote is what you pay.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency air conditioning repair in Palo Alto. We understand that AC breakdowns don’t wait for business hours, especially during California heat waves. Emergency service is available nights, weekends, and holidays. There is an additional fee for after-hours calls, but we’ll tell you the exact cost upfront. We prioritize emergency calls and typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call, depending on the time and current demand.
If your AC is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. Systems over 15 years old with major component failures often cost more to keep fixing than replacing. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes financial sense for your situation. Signs you might need replacement include frequent breakdowns, high energy bills, uneven cooling, and major component failures like compressor or evaporator coil problems.
All our AC repair work comes with a warranty on both parts and labor. The warranty period depends on the type of repair – minor fixes typically have 30-90 day warranties, while major component replacements include longer coverage. If the same problem happens again during the warranty period, we fix it at no charge. We also honor manufacturer warranties on any new parts we install, so you’re covered multiple ways.
We service all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, and others. Our technicians have experience with both newer high-efficiency systems and older units common in Palo Alto homes. We keep parts for the most common brands in our trucks and can usually get specialized parts within 24 hours if needed. Whether you have a basic builder-grade unit or a high-end system, we have the knowledge and tools to fix it properly.
