AC out on a hot afternoon? Do this first.

If you see ice on the indoor unit or the copper line outside, set the thermostat to Off so it can thaw. A frozen system that keeps running can wreck the compressor. Never open the electrical panels or add refrigerant yourself; those are licensed technician jobs.

Safe checks for homeowners

Quick checks before you call us.

  • Look at the thermostat. Cool mode, set below the current temperature, and a lit screen. Dead batteries are a common culprit.
  • Swap a dirty filter. In smoky late-summer weeks filters fill up faster than usual and can starve the system of air.
  • Try the breaker once. If the outdoor unit's breaker has tripped, reset it one time. A second trip means a fault, so leave it off.
  • Give the outdoor unit room. Clear grass clippings, leaves and fluff from around the sides. Leave the covers on.

Which one sounds like yours?

Five signs we hear about most from East Wenatchee.

Mention the closest match when you book, and the technician can bring the likely parts.

What the AC is doing
1
Warm air from the vents

Often a capacitor, a contactor, or refrigerant lost through a leak.

2
Outdoor unit hums but the fan won't spin

Commonly a failed capacitor or fan motor. Turn it off until it's checked.

3
Frost or ice on the lines

Restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Let it thaw with the system off.

4
A puddle near the furnace or air handler

Usually a blocked condensate drain, sometimes a coil that froze and melted.

5
The breaker keeps tripping

An electrical fault or a compressor that's struggling to start. Leave it off and call.

East Wenatchee AC repair questions

Common questions from East Wenatchee.

What does an AC repair visit cost in East Wenatchee?

On weekdays the dispatch fee is $119 in East Wenatchee, Rock Island and Orondo, and $279 in Badger Mountain. A diagnostic fee of $72, $100 or $130 is added depending on time. You approve the repair price before any work is done.

Is there an after-hours fee?

Yes. After 5 p.m., on weekends and on holidays the dispatch fee is $330, plus the diagnostic fee. Our after-hours emergency service covers East Wenatchee and the surrounding towns.

My outdoor unit is humming but the fan isn't turning. What should I do?

Turn the system off at the thermostat and call us. A humming unit with a stopped fan often has a failed capacitor or fan motor, and letting it run can overheat the compressor.

Does Douglas PUD help pay for AC repairs or a new system?

No. Douglas PUD does not have any rebates at this time. If a replacement makes more sense than a repair, we give free estimates on new systems.

Can you top off my old R-22 system?

We no longer use R-22, and it is no longer produced. We can still find the problem, and if the system needs refrigerant we'll price a replacement AC or heat pump for you.

Do Comfort Club members get repairs for less?

Yes. Members pay half the dispatch fee and get 15% off parts and labor, not including gases and filters. Membership is $300 a year per system or $25 a month and includes spring and fall visits.
