From the books — a recent Arlington job
Property manager call, Arlington-area duplex. Both units had AC running but blowing room-temperature air on a 102°F day. We pulled the system apart and found refrigerant leak at the suction line schrader valve. Located leak with electronic detector, sealed and recharged, system back to spec in under 90 minutes on the same trip — both tenants happy. $496.
Scope of work
Most AC repair calls come down to one of six causes: low refrigerant from a slow leak, failed capacitor, failed contactor, dirty condenser coil, blower motor failure, or compressor failure.
The diagnostic determines which. We run refrigerant pressures (high and low side), superheat/subcool calculation, voltage at the contactor, capacitor microfarads, and a temperature-split test on the supply and return.
About 60% of summer no-cool calls turn out to be one of three things: low refrigerant ($240-$650 to find and seal the leak, plus refrigerant), bad capacitor ($165-$325 to replace), or dirty condenser ($95-$195 to clean).
Compressor failures are the expensive ones — $1,800 to $3,800 typically. On any unit over 10 years old, we walk through the math on repair vs. replace before quoting the compressor swap.
What's specific about Arlington jobs
Arlington has a wide mix of housing — from pre-war brick to last-year new builds. We work on all of it; the diagnostic just takes a different shape.
Most of our Arlington ac repair jobs come from older neighborhoods, where the housing stock just has more failure points.
