Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair

Get answers to common questions about air conditioning repair services

How quickly can you respond to an AC emergency?

We offer 24/7 emergency AC repair service with same-day response in most cases. For urgent breakdowns during heat waves, we prioritize emergency calls and typically arrive within 2-4 hours in Mount Gilead, Albemarle, and surrounding areas.

What are signs my AC needs immediate repair?

Call for immediate AC repair if you notice: no cooling despite the system running, strange burning smells, loud grinding or squealing noises, water pooling around the unit, frozen evaporator coils, or the system constantly cycling on and off. These issues can worsen quickly and cause more expensive damage.

How much does AC repair cost in Mount Gilead?

AC repair costs vary based on the issue. Minor repairs like thermostat replacements start around $150-$300, while major repairs like compressor replacement can range from $1,200-$2,500. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work and offer financing options for major repairs.

Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

If your AC is over 12-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or if repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Newer systems are also 20-40% more energy efficient. We'll provide honest recommendations based on your system's condition and help you explore AC installation options.

Do you offer warranties on AC repairs?

Yes, all our AC repairs are covered by our workmanship warranty. Parts warranties vary by manufacturer, typically ranging from 1-5 years. We stand behind our work and will make it right if any issues arise with our repair service.

Can you repair all AC brands and models?

Yes, our licensed technicians are trained to repair all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, American Standard, and more. We service both central air systems and ductless mini-split air conditioners, maintaining a full inventory of common parts for faster repairs.

What's included in your AC diagnostic service?

Our comprehensive AC diagnostic includes: checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, inspecting the compressor and fan motors, examining ductwork for leaks, verifying thermostat operation, measuring airflow, and identifying any safety concerns. You'll receive a detailed report with repair recommendations and pricing.

Will regular AC maintenance prevent breakdowns?

Regular AC system maintenance significantly reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns by catching small issues before they become major problems. Scheduled maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant, lubricating parts, and testing all components. We recommend maintenance twice yearly—before cooling and heating seasons.
