Air Conditioning Repair

Your air went out and the house is climbing. Call or text and we will get straight answers to you fast — often the same day.

When it is 90 degrees in Hickory and the air quits, you do not want a sales pitch. You want somebody to show up, find the actual problem, and tell you what it costs. That is the whole job. We diagnose the system, show you what we found, and give you an honest recommendation before we touch anything.

We repair every brand — Goodman, Ruud, Trane, Carrier, Lennox, York, Rheem, American Standard and the rest. Capacitors, contactors, blower motors, compressors, refrigerant leaks, drain lines, thermostats and control boards. If the fix does not make sense on an old system, we will tell you that too, and show you the math instead of pushing a new unit on you.

You get one of us on the phone and one of us on the job, every time.

Common questions

How fast can you get here?
Call or text (828) 308-0928 and in most cases we can be out the same day. We are two guys who answer our own phones, so you are not going through a call center.
Do you charge to come look at it?
We will give you our diagnostic and trip charge up front on the phone before we roll — no surprises when we hand you the invoice.
My unit is 15 years old. Repair it or replace it?
Depends on the repair cost and the shape of the rest of the system. We give you our honest recommendation and try to help you out based on your budget. Every job and every budget is different, so we lay out both numbers and let you decide.
Do you work on brands you did not install?
Yes. We service any brand, whether we put it in or not.
