Call early during peak cooling season in Washington, DC.

What are the most common AC repairs?

Common AC repairs include capacitor replacement, contactor replacement, thermostat troubleshooting, condensate drain cleaning, refrigerant leak checks, blower motor repair, condenser fan motor replacement, control board replacement, breaker troubleshooting, and coil cleaning. Services may include $249, $199, $119, $149, $229, $299, $449, or $139 depending on the symptoms.

Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling?

An AC that runs but does not cool may have a dirty coil, clogged filter, weak airflow, low refrigerant, frozen evaporator coil, thermostat issue, compressor problem, duct leak, or outdoor condenser failure. A no-cool service visit may use $119, $159, $89, $139, $199, or $179 to narrow down the cause before repair work begins.

Can AC cleaning fix my cooling problem?

Sometimes cleaning can improve cooling performance, especially when dirt, debris, or airflow restriction is affecting the system. Cleaning services may include $119, condenser coil cleaning at $229, evaporator coil cleaning at $249, blower wheel cleaning at $399, or deeper coil cleaning at $369. If cleaning does not restore reliable cooling, the technician may recommend repair, additional diagnostics, or replacement options.

Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

Repair may make sense if the system is newer, the issue is limited, and the repair cost is reasonable. Replacement may be a better option if the AC has repeated breakdowns, major compressor or coil problems, refrigerant leaks, poor efficiency, weak airflow, or repair costs that are close to replacement pricing. AC replacement may range from $7200 to $12500, while new AC system installation may range from $6200 to $14000. Air conditioner installation options may range from $5500 to $16000.
