Straight Answers
Questions we get about this
How much does AC repair cost in the Twin Cities?
Most AC repairs run $300 to $500. The diagnostic visit is $80 during regular hours and $150 for emergency calls, and it applies toward the repair. Common fixes are a capacitor at $200 to $350 and a contactor at $250.
Why is my AC running but not cooling the house?
The usual suspects are low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty indoor coil, a failed capacitor, or a coil that has iced over. We inspect the full system, compressor, refrigerant, coils, and electrical, and tell you exactly what is wrong before quoting the fix.
Is it worth repairing an older AC that uses R-22?
R-22 refrigerant is no longer manufactured and runs $250 per pound, so a refrigerant repair on an R-22 unit can cost more than it is worth. We give you the repair number and the replacement number side by side so you can decide with real figures.
Can you fix it the same day?
Most repairs are completed on the same call. If a part has to be ordered, you get the timeline and the price before we leave.
How do I keep this from happening again?
Annual maintenance. The $169 Super Clean is one visit that covers both the AC and the furnace, and the Comfort Club gives you two visits a year for $27 a month or $297 a year with no service-call fees.
