Understanding what’s actually being repaired helps you make confident decisions when a technician gives you a quote. Here’s a breakdown of the most common AC fixes our team performs.
A frozen evaporator coil is one of the most common signs something’s wrong with your AC system. Ice forms when airflow is restricted or refrigerant levels are low, and once the coil freezes, cooling drops off fast or stops altogether. We identify what’s causing the freeze, whether it’s a dirty filter, blocked vents, or a refrigerant issue, and fix the root cause so the problem doesn’t keep coming back.
Low refrigerant is one of the top reasons an AC stops cooling effectively. We locate the source of the leak, seal it properly, and recharge the system to manufacturer specifications. Simply topping off refrigerant without fixing the leak is a temporary patch that will leave you calling for service again next season.
Capacitors are small components that give your compressor and fan motors the jolt they need to start. When a capacitor fails, your system may hum but refuse to start, or it may not turn on at all. Capacitor replacement is a relatively quick and affordable fix that restores normal operation.
The contactor is an electrical switch that controls power to the compressor and condenser fan. Worn contactors can cause the system to fail to start, run continuously, or behave erratically. Replacing a failed contactor is a straightforward repair that gets your system responding properly again.
Your AC removes humidity from the air, and that moisture drains out through a condensate line. When that line clogs with algae or debris, water backs up and can trigger a system shutoff or cause water damage. Clearing the drain line is a simple fix that protects your home and keeps your system running.
Both your indoor air handler and outdoor condenser unit have fan motors. When a motor fails, airflow drops and your system loses efficiency fast. A failed condenser fan motor can also cause the compressor to overheat and fail, making prompt repair important.
Sometimes the problem isn’t the AC unit at all. A faulty thermostat can misread temperatures, fail to signal the system to run, or cause short-cycling. We’ll test your thermostat and replace it if needed, including smart thermostat installation if you’re ready to upgrade.
Every AC repair starts with a full diagnostic, not a guess. Here’s what happens when we show up.
01
Full system diagnostic
We check refrigerant levels, electrical components, airflow, and the thermostat to find the actual problem.
02
Clear explanation before any work
You’ll know what’s wrong and what it costs before we touch anything.
03
Repair using quality parts
We use manufacturer-approved parts, not the cheapest option available.
04
System test before we leave
We confirm the fix worked and your AC is cooling properly.
05
Cleanup
We leave your space the way we found it.
Most AC problems are fixable. Here’s how we (and you) can tell when repair still makes sense, and when replacement saves you more in the long run.
REPAIR USUALLY MAKES SENSE IF:
REPLACEMENT IS WORTH CONSIDERING IF:
We’ll always give you a straight answer, even if that means a repair instead of a sale. If replacement really is the better move, we’ll walk you through what an AC replacement looks like, no pressure, just the facts.
DIAGNOSE
1. Thermostat and system check — Confirm the thermostat is calling for cooling correctly and settings aren’t the actual issue.
2. Power and electrical inspection — Check the disconnect, breaker, capacitor, and contactor for failures or wear.
3. Refrigerant pressure test — Connect gauges to check refrigerant charge and identify leaks or low pressure.
4. Airflow inspection — Check the air filter, blower motor, and ductwork for restrictions limiting airflow.
5. Coil inspection — Examine the evaporator and condenser coils for dirt buildup, ice, or damage.
6. Compressor evaluation — Test compressor function, since a failing compressor changes the repair-vs-replace conversation.
DECIDE
7. Root cause identified — We pinpoint the actual failure, not just the symptom, and explain it in plain language.
8.Upfront quote before any repair — You approve the cost and scope before we touch anything.
REPAIR
9. Repair performed
10. Post-repair testing — We re-check pressures, temperatures, and airflow to confirm the system is fully operational.
11. Walkthrough — We explain what was wrong, what we did, and any recommendations going forward.

We’re an approved Mitsubishi Electric installer for cooling equipment, a standard not every HVAC company qualifies for. If you have a Mitsubishi system (or want one), you’re working with a vendor Mitsubishi itself has vetted.
Heat pump, heat pump paired with an existing furnace for cool air, single-zone mini-splits, multi-zone mini-splits, we work on all of it. Whatever’s cooling your home, we’ve likely diagnosed and repaired one just like it.
Every repair starts with a full system diagnostic, not a guess. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong and what it costs before we touch anything.
Accurate AC diagnostics require outdoor temps of at least 55°F. If it’s colder, certain tests won’t give a reliable read, so we factor that in rather than force a number that isn’t real. It’s a small detail, but it’s the difference between an honest diagnosis and a guess.
Our founders grew up here. They’ve watched Seattle go from a city that barely needed AC to one where it’s now expected, and they understand how older Seattle homes hold onto heat and cold differently than newer construction. That local insight shapes how we diagnose and repair every system we touch.
AC REPLACEMENT
Ready for a new system instead of a repair? We’ll help you choose the right fit.
MINI-SPLIT REPAIR
Ductless systems for additions, older homes, and room-by-room control.
HEAT PUMP SERVICES
Heating and cooling in one system, built for Pacific Northwest winters and summers.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Filtration and air quality solutions that work alongside your cooling system.
Most AC problems are fixable, especially in systems under 10 years old with no major repair history. Replacement usually makes more sense if your system is 12-15+ years old, has needed multiple repairs recently, or the repair cost is creeping close to the cost of a new system. Our techs will always give you a straight answer, even if that means recommending a repair instead of a replacement.
Cost depends on what’s actually wrong, the part involved, the severity of the issue, and how accessible your unit is. Every repair starts with a diagnostic fee that identifies the exact problem and is credited toward your repair if you move forward. We’ll always give you a clear price before any work begins.
It depends on the age and condition of the system, not just the age alone. If your unit is under 10 years old and this is a first-time issue, repair is usually the smarter move. If it’s 12-15+ years old or you’ve had recurring problems, we’ll walk you through whether repair still makes sense or if replacement will save you more long-term.
We offer same-day and next-day AC repair across the greater Seattle area. When your AC goes out, you shouldn’t have to wait a week to get it fixed.
We repair all major AC brands and system types, not just Mitsubishi. We are an approved Mitsubishi Electric installer, which means we’ve met their standards for training and quality, but that’s in addition to our broader HVAC work, not a limitation on it.
