AC Repair

Warm air, weird noises, water where it shouldn’t be, or a unit that just quit — diagnosed honestly and fixed fast, usually the same day.

Same-Day Repairs

The Midlands’ most common AC failures, fixed daily

Most AC breakdowns come down to a short list of usual suspects: failed capacitors, worn contactors, refrigerant leaks, frozen coils, clogged condensate drains, and tired fan motors. Our techs see every one of them, every week, across every major brand — and the trucks carry the parts to fix most of them on the first visit.

What you won’t get: a technician whose diagnosis always ends with “new system.” If a $280 repair buys your unit three more solid summers, that’s the recommendation. If the math says replace, you’ll see the numbers and decide.

What repair costs look like in Columbia

Realistic local ranges: capacitors and contactors $150–$350, condensate and drain issues $150–$400, fan motors $400–$700, refrigerant leak repair $400–$1,500 depending on location, and compressor or coil replacements $1,200–$2,500. Emergency after-hours calls carry a premium that’s quoted before dispatch.

The $5,000 rule helps with big decisions: repair cost × unit age over $5,000 usually means replacement is the smarter money. A good tech walks you through it with your actual numbers.

Questions

AC Repair FAQ

Same-day is standard during the season, and 24/7 emergency dispatch runs nights, weekends, and holidays. Call volume spikes during heat waves — mornings book fastest.
Depends on the repair. A $300 capacitor? Absolutely. A $1,800 compressor? Usually no — that money is a down payment on a new, warrantied system that cuts your power bill.
There’s a standard service-call/diagnostic fee that’s quoted when you book, and it’s applied to the repair if you proceed. Second opinions on written replacement quotes from other companies.
