Recent service example
Got a call last month from a the west Virginia Beach home — 12-year-old build. Symptom: AC running but blowing room-temperature air on a 102°F day. Cause: refrigerant leak at the suction line schrader valve. Located leak with electronic detector, sealed and recharged, system back to spec in under 90 minutes, all done in under 90 minutes, billed flat-rate at $496.
What this service includes
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.
Typical investment
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.
