We handle everything from refrigerant leaks and compressor issues to electrical problems and airflow restrictions. Many Ashby homes have older systems that need specialized knowledge and experience to repair properly.
Our comprehensive approach means we can handle your plumbing, electrical, and HVAC needs under one roof. That’s valuable when AC problems involve multiple systems or when you need other home services completed efficiently.
We service all major brands and system types, from traditional central air to newer high-efficiency units. Whether your system needs a simple repair or complex component replacement, we have the expertise and parts inventory to get your cooling system running reliably again.
AC repair costs in Ashby typically range from $200 to $800, depending on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like thermostat issues or clogged filters cost less, while major component repairs like compressor or evaporator coil replacement cost more.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing before starting any work. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs and why it’s necessary. We never surprise you with hidden fees or unexpected charges after the work is completed.
Our goal is to give you honest repair options that fit your budget and your system’s condition, so you can make the best decision for your home’s comfort and your wallet.
We offer same-day service for most AC emergencies in Ashby, often within a few hours of your call. We understand that AC failures don’t wait for convenient times, especially during Bay Area heat waves.
Our technicians carry fully stocked vehicles with common parts and diagnostic equipment, so many repairs can be completed on the first visit. For more complex issues requiring special parts, we’ll get your system running temporarily while we order what’s needed.
We prioritize emergency calls during extreme weather conditions because we know how uncomfortable and potentially dangerous it can be without proper cooling in your home.
If your AC system is less than 10 years old and the repair costs less than half of a replacement, repairing usually makes financial sense. Systems older than 12-15 years with major component failures often benefit from replacement.
We’ll honestly assess your system’s condition and remaining lifespan. Sometimes a $300 repair gives you several more years of reliable service, while other times that money is better invested toward a new, efficient system.
Factors like frequent repairs, rising energy bills, and poor cooling performance all indicate replacement might be the smarter long-term choice for your Ashby home. We’ll explain all your options clearly so you can make the best decision.
We service all major AC brands commonly found in Bay Area homes, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, York, Goodman, and many others. Our technicians are trained on both older and newer systems, so we can handle whatever equipment you have.
We maintain relationships with local parts suppliers to ensure we can get quality replacement components quickly. Whether you have a standard central air system, heat pump, or high-efficiency unit, we have the expertise to diagnose and repair it properly.
Our experience with diverse equipment types means we can often identify problems that less experienced technicians might miss, saving you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Yes, we back all AC repairs with a comprehensive two-year warranty covering both parts and labor. This means if the same problem occurs again within two years, we’ll fix it at no additional cost to you.
Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our work and the parts we use. We use premium components from trusted manufacturers, not cheap alternatives that fail quickly.
If you have any concerns about your repair after we complete the work, just call us. We stand behind our service and will make sure you’re completely satisfied with the results.
Call us immediately for emergency service – we prioritize AC failures during extreme weather conditions. While waiting for our technician, check your thermostat settings and circuit breakers, and replace your air filter if it’s dirty.
Keep curtains closed during the day and use fans to circulate air. Avoid using heat-generating appliances like ovens or dryers until your AC is repaired. If you have elderly family members or health conditions, consider temporarily relocating to a cooler location.
