AC Repair — Louisville, KY
Our crew runs about half of its weekly volume on ac repair calls in and around Louisville. The other half is everything else local-service. So yes, we know your area. We answer the phone, give you a real quote before any work starts, and bring the right tools the first time.
What we cover
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.
Local context for Louisville
Climate and housing age in Louisville tend to drive specific failure patterns. We see the same handful of issues every season.
On bigger jobs we'll bring two techs. On simpler ones, just one — fewer hands, faster billing.

Diagnostic visit runs $80 – $120. Capacitor replacement runs $150 – $300. Refrigerant leak find + seal + recharge runs $220 – $600. Condenser coil cleaning runs $85 – $180. Contactor replacement runs $170 – $315. Blower motor replacement runs $385 – $810.

A recent ac repair call
Property manager call, Louisville-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. $386.
