When AC Repair is the Right Fix
We diagnose before we quote
Most 'AC is dead' calls in Kansas City come down to a handful of failures: a blown run capacitor ($185–$285), a failed contactor, a low refrigerant charge from a leak, a tripped float switch on a clogged condensate drain, or a frozen coil from low airflow. We test the actual fault with gauges and a meter instead of swapping parts until something works. You get the diagnosis and the price before we touch a wrench.
Refrigerant leaks and the R-22 problem
If your system is low on refrigerant, it has a leak — refrigerant doesn't get 'used up.' We find and fix the leak rather than just topping off. On older R-22 systems (pre-2010, mostly), refrigerant now runs $80–$150 a pound and the EPA phase-out means it only gets worse. We'll tell you honestly when chasing a leak on an R-22 unit is throwing good money after bad versus putting it toward a modern R-410A or R-454B replacement.
Repair vs. replace — the honest math
The rule of thumb: multiply the repair cost by the system's age. If that number tops $5,000, replacement usually wins. A 14-year-old condenser needing an $1,800 compressor is almost always a replace; a 6-year-old unit needing a $250 capacitor is always a repair. We do this math out loud, with your unit's age and SEER in front of you, and we never scare you into a replacement you don't need.
How AC Repair Works
Diagnose
Gauges, meter, and airflow check to find the actual fault — not a guess based on symptoms.
Quote the fix
Flat-rate repair price up front, plus repair-vs-replace math if the unit is aging.
Repair
Most common parts are on the truck for same-day completion.
Verify
We confirm a 16–20°F temperature split across the coil before we leave.
AC Repair — Frequently Asked
Why is my AC running but blowing warm air?▾
Most often a low refrigerant charge (meaning a leak), a frozen indoor coil from restricted airflow, or a failed compressor or capacitor in the outdoor unit. A dirty filter starving the system of airflow is a surprisingly common root cause — change it and call us if it doesn't recover.
How fast can you get here in summer?▾
Same day for most of the metro during cooling season, though peak heat waves can push it to next-day. We triage no-cool calls for homes with infants, elderly residents, or medical needs first.
Should I repair or replace a 12-year-old AC?▾
It depends on the repair cost and the refrigerant type. A small repair (capacitor, contactor) is worth it. A major repair on an R-22 system that's already 12+ years old usually isn't — we'll show you the numbers so it's your call, not a sales pitch.
