Safe to try first

Four checks that sometimes save a trip.

If none of these brings the cooling back, switch the system off at the thermostat and give us a call. Running a struggling unit can turn a small repair into a bigger one.

  • Thermostat on Cool. Set it a few degrees under the room temperature, and replace the batteries if it takes them.
  • One breaker reset. The outdoor unit and the indoor blower usually have separate breakers. Reset a tripped one once. If it trips again, leave it off.
  • The filter. Basin dust loads filters quickly in summer, and a blocked filter can freeze the indoor coil.
  • Around the outdoor unit. Pull back weeds, tumbleweeds and anything blown against the fins. Leave the panels on.

Leave refrigerant and wiring to a technician.

Topping off refrigerant or working inside the electrical panel of an AC isn't a homeowner job. It needs certification and the right gauges, and it can be dangerous.

What it's doing

Common AC symptoms and what's usually behind them.

You notice Often caused by Worth telling us
Warm air from the vents A failed capacitor or contactor, a dirty condenser coil, or low refrigerant from a leak Whether the outdoor fan is spinning
Ice on the copper lines Poor airflow from a clogged filter or a dirty indoor coil, or low refrigerant When the filter was last changed
Outdoor unit hums but won't start A weak capacitor or a failing fan motor If it started after a hot spell or a power blip
Runs all afternoon, never catches up Dust-packed condenser fins, a leaky duct or an undersized system Which rooms stay hottest

A Quincy thing

Wind, field dust and a hard-working condenser.

Summers out here are long and hot, and the wind blows dust off the fields for months. In dusty country, a dirty coil or a choked filter is one of the most common reasons an AC stops keeping up.

What dust does to an AC

  • Coats the condenser fins so the unit can't shed heat
  • Clogs filters, which starves the indoor coil of air
  • Makes the compressor run hotter and longer

What helps

  • Checking the filter every month in dusty stretches
  • A spring tune-up, $179, with a coil cleaning check
  • Keeping two feet clear around the outdoor unit
  • AA Comfort Club.$300 a year per system or $25 a month covers a spring and a fall visit, half-off dispatch and 15% off parts and labor (not gases or filters).
  • Older R-22 system? We no longer use R-22. If yours is low on refrigerant, we'll price a new AC and a heat pump so you can compare.

“Ryan the technician arrived earlier than originally quoted. This was a great thing since our air conditioning was down and needed troubleshooting. He determined what the problem is set up getting the part replaced but also shared how we can make due in the meantime”

Questions from Quincy

AC repair FAQ for the Quincy area.

What does an AC repair visit cost in Quincy?

Weekday dispatch is $149 in Quincy and Crescent Bar and $279 in George and Trinidad. A diagnostic fee of $72, $100 or $130 is added, depending on whether finding the fault takes up to 15, 30 or 60 minutes. The repair itself is priced separately, and you approve it first.

Can you come out in the evening or on a weekend?

Yes. Our after-hours emergency service covers the Quincy area. The dispatch fee is $330 after 5 p.m., on weekends and on holidays, plus the diagnostic fee.

Why does my AC keep getting dirty so fast?

Wind carries field dust across the Basin all summer, and it collects on the outdoor coil and in the filter. Check the filter monthly in dusty weeks and keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. A spring tune-up catches a dirty coil before peak heat.

Can you still work on an old R-22 system?

No. We no longer use R-22. We can still diagnose an R-22 system, and if it needs refrigerant we'll price a replacement air conditioner or heat pump for you.

How much is an AC tune-up?

An AC tune-up is $179. AA Comfort Club members get a spring and a fall visit for $300 a year per system, or $25 a month.

Is the dispatch fee taken off the repair price?

No. The dispatch and diagnostic fees cover getting a technician to your home and finding the problem. They're separate from the repair and parts, which you approve before work begins.
