HVAC repair and diagnostics
Most air conditioning failures happen in the first genuinely hot week of the year, when the system runs continuously for the first time in months and a marginal component finally gives up.

Diagnose, then quote
Low refrigerant is a symptom, not a fault. A system that is low is leaking, and topping it up without finding the leak means paying again next season. We find the cause and tell you what a proper fix takes, including when that answer is inconvenient.
When repair stops making sense
On a system past a certain age, with a failed compressor, or still running R-22, repair cost approaches replacement cost while buying very little remaining life. We will say so plainly, and we will also say when a system has years left and someone else is overselling you a replacement.
The failures we see most
Capacitors, contactors, condenser fan motors, clogged condensate drains, seized blowers, refrigerant leaks at the service valves. Most are same-visit fixes when the part is standard.

Common questions
HVAC Repair, what to expect
- Do you give a written scope before work starts?
- Always. The proposal lists equipment or materials, what is included, what is excluded and the payment schedule. Nothing starts on a verbal.
- What happens if you find something unexpected?
- Older homes hide things, undersized panels, failed ducting, non-permitted prior work, rodent damage in the attic. When we find something, we show you what is there and price the fix as a written change order before continuing.
- Do you talk about payback periods?
- We will talk about what drives payback, your usage, your rate schedule, the condition of the house. We will not hand you a number that depends on utility rates nobody can predict. Any contractor who gives you a confident payback figure is guessing with your money.
