Complete Air Conditioning Repair

We Fix All AC Problems

Compressor failures, refrigerant leaks, electrical issues, frozen coils, thermostat problems – we handle the full range of air conditioning repairs. Whether you have a central air system, heat pump, or ductless mini-split, we’ve worked on it.

We stock parts for all the major brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and more. Most repairs get completed the same day because we come prepared with what your system likely needs.

In El Cerritos, we see a lot of the same issues. Dirty coils from dust, capacitor failures from heat stress, and refrigerant problems from aging systems. These aren’t exotic problems – they’re fixable, and we fix them every day.

How much does AC repair cost in El Cerritos?

Most AC repairs in El Cerritos range from $200 to $800, depending on what’s wrong with your system. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or cleaning coils are on the lower end. More complex repairs like compressor or evaporator coil replacement cost more. We always give you an upfront price before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No hidden fees, no surprises after the job is done. The cost of repair versus replacement depends on your system’s age and condition – we’ll be honest about which option makes more financial sense.

Can you provide same-day AC repair service?

Yes, we offer same-day AC repair service throughout El Cerritos, especially for emergency calls. When it’s 90+ degrees outside and your AC stops working, waiting isn’t an option. We keep our trucks stocked with common parts and our schedule flexible for urgent repairs. Most of our same-day calls get resolved within a few hours of your initial call. We can’t guarantee same-day service for every situation – sometimes we need to order specific parts – but we’ll always be upfront about timing when you call.

Do you work on all brands of air conditioners?

We repair all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, American Standard, and more. Our technicians have experience with both older systems and newer high-efficiency models. We also work on different types of cooling systems – central air, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and window units. Each brand has its quirks, but the fundamental repair principles are the same. We keep a good inventory of universal parts and can source brand-specific components when needed.

What's included in your AC repair warranty?

All our AC repairs come with a warranty on both parts and labor. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and parts used, but typically ranges from 90 days to one year. If the same problem comes back during the warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. This covers our workmanship and the parts we install, giving you confidence that the repair will hold up. We stand behind our work because we want your AC running reliably, not breaking down again in a few weeks.

How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?

Generally, if your AC is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new system, repair makes sense. For older systems, it depends on the specific problem and your system’s overall condition. Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, and major component failures like compressor problems often point toward replacement. We’ll always be honest about whether a repair is worth it or if you’d be better off with a new system. Our job is to give you the information you need to make the right decision for your situation and budget.

Why is my AC running but not cooling my house?

An AC that runs but doesn’t cool usually has one of several common problems: low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or airflow issues from a clogged filter or blocked vents. Sometimes it’s as simple as a thermostat problem or incorrect settings. In El Cerritos’ dusty environment, dirty coils are especially common and can severely reduce cooling capacity. We’ll check all these potential causes systematically to find the real problem. Most of these issues are repairable and don’t require a full system replacement.
