We recommend a professional tune-up every spring, before the 100°F days arrive. Annual maintenance includes cleaning condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing capacitors and contactors, inspecting electrical connections, and verifying thermostat calibration. In Phoenix’s dusty environment, a mid-summer coil cleaning can also help. Regular service prevents 85% of emergency breakdowns.

In most cases, yes. The most common causes are low refrigerant, a failing capacitor, or dirty condenser coils — all repairable for far less than a new system. We’ll run a full diagnostic, explain the issue in plain English, and give you an upfront price. Only if the compressor has failed or the system is 15+ years old with multiple issues do we discuss replacement.

Our comprehensive tune-up: clean outdoor condenser coils, check and adjust refrigerant levels, test start/run capacitors, inspect contactor and electrical connections, clean or replace air filter, clear condensate drain line, check thermostat calibration, measure temperature split, and provide a written report with any recommendations. We take about 45-60 minutes and leave your system running at peak efficiency.

Yes — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, American Standard, York, and dozens of others. We also work on older R-22 systems (as long as repairs are cost-effective). Parts are usually available, and we’ll be honest if a repair no longer makes financial sense.

Every repair is different, but we provide a written, itemized estimate before any work begins. Common repairs: capacitor replacement ($150–$300), fan motor ($400–$700), refrigerant leak repair ($400–$1,200 depending on severity). We never charge by the hour — you approve the price upfront. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Yes — we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our rates are the same regardless of time or day. No “after-hours markup,” no weekend surcharges. If your AC fails at midnight on a Saturday, call us. We’ll answer live and dispatch a technician.
