AC repair in Boise

An air conditioner usually gives warnings before it fails: it runs longer than it used to, the air from the vents is not as cold, or the outdoor unit makes a new noise. A repair visit finds the cause and fixes it, and you get the price in writing before any work starts.

What a repair visit includes

• Checking the thermostat settings and wiring.
• Checking the refrigerant pressures and looking for leaks.
• Testing the capacitor, the contactor and the fan motors.
• Cleaning the condensate drain so water does not back up.
• Looking at the outdoor coil for dirt and damage.

Common questions

How long does an AC repair take?

Most repairs take one to two hours once the technician is on site. A repair that needs a part we do not carry takes a second visit, and we tell you the date before we leave.

Should I repair or replace an old air conditioner?

If the system is old, needs a major part such as a compressor, and has needed several repairs already, replacing it can cost less over the next few years than repairing it again. We show you both prices so you can decide.

What can I check before I call?

Make sure the thermostat is set to cool, replace the filter if it is dirty, and check that the breaker for the outdoor unit has not tripped. If those are fine and the air is still warm, it is time for a visit.
