Yes, absolutely. After diagnosing the problem, we provide a clear, written estimate before starting any work. You’ll know exactly what the repair will cost, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. If you decide not to proceed with the repair, you only pay for the diagnostic fee.

All our AC repair work comes with a warranty. If the same problem occurs within the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right. We stand behind our work because we want you to have confidence in the repair. Most issues we fix stay fixed because we address the root cause, not just the symptoms. However, if something does go wrong with our repair, we take full responsibility.
Yes, we have extensive experience working with older HVAC systems throughout Oakland. Many of our calls are for homes built decades ago with unique cooling setups. We understand the challenges these systems present and know how to source parts or find creative solutions when original parts aren’t available. Our goal is to keep your existing system running efficiently rather than pushing unnecessary replacements.
We provide emergency AC repair service because we know AC failures don’t follow business hours. During Oakland’s hot summer months especially, we prioritize emergency calls and work to get technicians out as quickly as possible. Emergency service does carry additional fees, but we’re upfront about all costs. When your family’s comfort and safety are at stake, we’re here to help.
This depends on several factors including the age of your system, the cost of repairs, and how frequently problems occur. Generally, if repair costs are more than half the value of your AC unit, or if you’re calling for repairs multiple times per year, replacement might make more sense. We’ll always give you honest advice about whether a repair is worth it or if you’d be better served with a new system. Our goal is to help you make the most cost-effective decision for your situation.
