AC problems we diagnose
- AC running but the house isn't cooling
- Warm air coming from the vents
- System won't turn on at all
- Outdoor unit not running
- Unit turning on and off over and over
- Ice on the lines or indoor coil
- Weak airflow at the registers
- Buzzing, humming, grinding or rattling
- Thermostat not controlling the system
- Water around the indoor unit
- Breaker tripping repeatedly
- House never reaches the set temperature
Most of these symptoms have more than one possible cause. Warm air can come from a failed capacitor, a stopped fan motor, a dirty coil or a refrigerant problem — they feel identical from the living room. That's what the $89 diagnostic is for: finding the actual failure instead of guessing at parts.
What we check during an AC diagnostic
Depending on the symptom and the equipment, a diagnostic can cover any of the following. We test the system while it runs and read the results together, not one number at a time.
Controls
Thermostat operation, the call for cooling, and system safeties and controls.
Electrical
Supply voltage, connections, disconnect and breaker, capacitors and contactor, operating amperage.
Motors & compressor
Condenser fan, indoor blower and compressor operation.
Airflow
Filter condition, blower performance and temperature split across the coil.
Coils & drainage
Evaporator and condenser coil condition, condensate drain and pan.
Refrigerant
Refrigerant-related symptoms and visible leak indicators, read alongside the rest of the system — never from one pressure reading.
Refrigerant is not added as part of the diagnostic. If the system is low, that means there's a leak or another issue to address first, and we'll explain the options.
Common AC repairs
Once we know what failed, these are the repairs we most often recommend:
- Capacitor replacement
- Contactor replacement
- Condenser fan motor repair or replacement
- Blower motor repair or replacement
- Thermostat and control issues
- Electrical repairs
- Condensate drain problems
- Refrigerant leak diagnosis and repair when appropriate
- Coil-related issues
- Compressor diagnosis
- Heat pump cooling problems
How pricing works
The $89 fee covers the diagnosis. If a repair is needed, we explain what failed and give you the repair price before any work begins. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why West Valley AC systems work harder
The cooling season here starts early and runs late, and on peak days a system can run for hours without cycling off. Components that would last years in a milder climate spend much more time under load — capacitors, contactors and fan motors are usually the first to show it.
Outdoor condensers sit in direct sun, and dust plus monsoon debris pack into the coil fins. A dirty condenser can't shed heat well, which raises pressures and amperage and makes the whole system work harder. That's why we look at coil condition and airflow on every diagnostic, not only the part that stopped.
Keeping up with seasonal AC maintenance catches much of this before it turns into a breakdown.
Repair or replace?
A failed AC doesn't automatically need replacing. Many breakdowns come down to a single component. The right call depends on the system's age and overall condition, its repair history, which part failed, the refrigerant it uses, efficiency, comfort problems and how reliable it's likely to be going forward.
We'll give you the repair option and, where it makes sense, talk through AC replacement and installation so you can compare.
Systems we work on
- Central split systems — outdoor condenser with an indoor air handler or furnace.
- Heat pumps — cooling and heat pump heating service.
- Package units — rooftop and ground-mounted, where applicable.
- Ductless mini-splits — single and multi-zone.
