Most AC breakdowns come down to a handful of parts: capacitors, contactors, condenser fan motors, clogged condensate drains and refrigerant leaks. We test the whole system, explain what failed and quote the repair before we pick up a tool.
San Diego asks two very different things of an air conditioner. Near the beaches in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach and La Jolla, salt air eats at condenser coils, fins and electrical connections, so a unit can fail long before it wears out. A few miles inland in Allied Gardens, Del Cerro and eastern Chula Vista, afternoons run much hotter, and the AC may run for hours during a fall heat wave or a Santa Ana event. On every AC repair we check the coil, the capacitor and the wiring, and we tell coastal customers when the coil needs a rinse.
We offer AC repair across San Diego, La Jolla and Chula Vista. Choose your area:
The usual causes are a failed capacitor or condenser fan motor, a dirty or frozen coil, a clogged filter or low refrigerant from a leak. We test each one so you only pay for the part that actually failed.
Switch the cooling off at the thermostat and set the fan to on so the ice can melt. Running a frozen system can damage the compressor. Then call us and we'll find out why it froze, which is often low airflow or low refrigerant.
Often, yes, as long as the problem isn't a refrigerant leak. R-22 is no longer produced, so recharging a leaking R-22 system gets harder to justify. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Same-day visits are often possible when you call early, though the schedule fills quickly during heat waves. Call us and we'll give you the first open window.
