Can you come out the same day for AC repair?

Often yes. AIR SYSTEMS A/C is open Monday through Saturday 8:00am to 7:00pm and Sunday 8:00am to 5:00pm, and holds room in the schedule for systems that are down. Calling earlier in the day improves the odds. We are not a 24-hour company; calls left overnight are returned first thing in the morning.

Is there anything I should check before calling for AC repair?

Check that the thermostat is set to cool with good batteries, check the air filter since a blocked filter can freeze the coil and stop cooling, and check the breaker along with the float switch near the air handler, which shuts the system off when the drain line is blocked. If those are fine, the system needs gauges on it.

Does my AC just need a refrigerant top-up?

A sealed air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant. If it is low, it is leaking. Adding refrigerant cools the house temporarily and the problem returns. Finding the leak determines whether the repair is a simple fitting or a coil, which changes whether repair or replacement makes sense.

Do you repair systems you did not install?

Yes. AIR SYSTEMS A/C repairs all major brands regardless of who installed the system.

Will you try to sell me a new system?

Not unless the repair genuinely does not make sense. Small failures on newer systems get repaired. When a system is at the end of its life, we provide both the repair cost and the replacement cost and let the customer decide.

How much does an AC repair cost?

It depends on the failure, and a price quoted over the phone without seeing the system is a guess. AIR SYSTEMS A/C diagnoses the system, presents the price, and only begins work once the customer approves it.

Common Repairs

What Usually Goes Wrong

A South Florida system runs close to year round in heat and humidity, with salt in the air near the coast. These are the failures we see week after week.

It runs but doesn't cool

Air moves, the unit is on, the house never gets comfortable. Usually low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty condenser, or a compressor losing capacity.

Warm air from the vents

Often a frozen evaporator coil, a refrigerant leak, or a failed compressor. Turning it off for a few hours can thaw a frozen coil, but it will come back.

Water around the air handler

A clogged condensate drain line. In Florida humidity this backs up quickly and damages drywall, flooring and ceilings — worth calling about the same day.

It won't start at all

Frequently a failed capacitor or contactor, a tripped breaker, or a float switch that has shut the system down because the drain is blocked.

Grinding, rattling or squealing

A mechanical part is failing — a blower motor bearing, a loose blower wheel, a fan blade. Caught early this is a repair rather than a replacement.

Short cycling

Turning on and off every few minutes. It wears out the compressor, never removes humidity, and often points to a system that was oversized for the space.

What To Expect

How a Repair Visit Works

You Call

We ask what the system is doing and how old it is, so the technician arrives with the right parts on the truck.

We Diagnose

A licensed technician tests the system properly — pressures, electrical, airflow, drain — and finds the actual cause.

You Approve

You get told what is wrong and what it costs, in plain language, before anything is taken apart or replaced.

We Repair It

The work gets done and we confirm the system is cooling correctly before we leave, not just that it turns on.

An Honest Answer

Repair It, or Replace It?

We will give you both numbers and let you decide. Here is roughly how we think about it — and no, a repair call does not automatically turn into a sales pitch for a new system.

Usually worth repairing

The system is under roughly ten years old
One failed part — capacitor, contactor, motor, board
A clogged drain line or a dirty coil
The rest of the system is in sound condition
It has not needed repeated repairs recently

Worth pricing a replacement

Past twelve to fifteen years of Florida service
A failing compressor — the most expensive part
A refrigerant leak in the coil rather than a fitting
Third or fourth repair in two seasons
Power bills climbing while comfort drops

Maintenance

The Cheapest Repair Is the One You Avoid

Almost every emergency we get called to was visible months earlier — a capacitor reading low, a drain line starting to clog, a coil packed with dirt making the compressor work harder than it should. A tune-up is an hour that catches those.

Coils cleaned so the system stops straining
Drain line cleared before it backs up into a ceiling
Electrical components tested, not just eyeballed
Refrigerant charge and airflow verified
Documented service, which most warranties require

Before You Call

AC Repair Questions

Often, yes. We are open Monday through Saturday 8:00am to 7:00pm and Sunday 8:00am to 5:00pm, and we hold room in the schedule for systems that are down. The earlier in the day you call, the better the odds. We are not a 24-hour company — if you call at midnight we will reach you first thing in the morning rather than pretending otherwise.

Three things, and they cost you nothing. Check that the thermostat is set to cool and the batteries are good. Check the air filter — a filter packed solid will freeze a coil and stop the cooling entirely. And check the breaker, plus the float switch near the air handler, which shuts the system off on purpose when the drain line is blocked. If all three look fine, it needs gauges on it, and that is the call to make.

A sealed system does not consume refrigerant. If it is low, it is leaking. Adding more will cool the house for a while and then you are back where you started, minus the cost of the refrigerant. We would rather find the leak and tell you honestly whether it is worth repairing — sometimes it is a fitting and it is a straightforward fix, sometimes it is the coil and that changes the math.

Yes, and that is most of what we do. We repair all major brands whoever installed them. You do not need to track down the original contractor.

Not unless the repair genuinely does not make sense. If it is a capacitor on an eight-year-old unit, we replace the capacitor. When a system really is at the end — a failed compressor on a fifteen-year-old unit, say — we will tell you what the repair costs and what a replacement costs and let you choose. Both numbers, then your decision.

It depends entirely on what failed, and any company quoting a repair price over the phone without seeing the system is guessing. What we can promise is the order of events: we diagnose it, we tell you the price, you approve it, and only then does the work start. Nothing appears on the invoice that you did not agree to first.
