Complete AC Repair Services

Every Type of AC Problem

We handle everything from simple fixes like replacing capacitors and cleaning coils to major repairs like compressor replacement and refrigerant leaks. Whether your AC won’t turn on, isn’t cooling properly, or is making strange noises, we’ve got the experience to diagnose and fix it.

Our trucks carry common parts for most major brands, so we can often complete repairs on the first visit. For Oakland’s older homes with unique HVAC setups, we know how to work with existing systems and find solutions that fit your specific situation.

Emergency calls get priority scheduling because we know AC problems don’t wait for convenient times. When Oakland temperatures climb, we’re ready to respond fast and get your system back to keeping you comfortable.

How quickly can you get to my Oakland home for AC repair?

For emergency calls, we typically arrive within two hours, often sooner depending on your location in Oakland and our current schedule. We understand that AC problems, especially during hot weather, can’t wait. For non-emergency repairs, we usually can schedule same-day or next-day service. We always call ahead to confirm our arrival time and keep you updated if anything changes.

Do you provide upfront pricing for AC repairs?

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. We believe in transparent pricing because nobody likes unexpected bills, especially when you’re already dealing with a broken AC.

What if my AC breaks down again after you repair it?

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.

Can you repair older AC units in Oakland's historic homes?

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.

Do you offer emergency AC repair service?

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.

How do I know if I need AC repair or replacement?

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.
