AC Repair in Boca Raton
In South Florida, a broken air conditioner is not a convenience problem — it's an emergency. When your system stops cooling, you need someone who will actually diagnose the fault, explain your options, and fix it right. That's what we do.
Common problems we repair
Most Boca Raton AC calls come down to a short list of failures: a capacitor that has given up, a failed blower motor, a clogged condensate drain shutting the system down on its safety switch, a contactor that no longer pulls in, or a refrigerant leak that has slowly starved the system. Thermostat and control board failures show up too, especially after lightning storms.
Each of those has a very different fix and a very different price. That's why we don't quote repairs over the phone from a symptom description — a "warm air" complaint could be a $200 part or a sign the system is at the end of its life, and guessing helps no one.
How a service visit works
Our technician arrives, listens to what you've noticed, and inspects the whole system — indoor unit, outdoor unit, thermostat, electrical connections, and drain. We take readings rather than eyeballing it: temperatures, pressures, and electrical values that tell us what the equipment is actually doing.
Then we explain what we found in plain language, show you the failed part if it's accessible, and give you a written price for the repair before any work starts. If a repair doesn't make sense — because the system is old, the failure will repeat, or the cost approaches replacement — we'll tell you that too and walk you through the replacement option instead.
Repair or replace? An honest answer
South Florida runs air conditioners harder than almost anywhere in the country, so systems here wear out faster than the generic "15-year" lifespan you'll read online. Salt air near the coast shortens outdoor unit life further. A repair on a 12-year-old system with a dying compressor is throwing money at a losing battle; the same repair on a healthy 6-year-old system is clearly the right call.
We'll give you our honest read on which side of that line your system sits, with the numbers to back it up. The decision stays yours — we just make sure it's an informed one.

Homeowner questions
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor or compressor, a dirty condenser coil, or a thermostat issue. It could also be something as simple as a clogged filter choking airflow. A proper diagnosis tells you which one it is — the symptom alone doesn't.
Why is there ice on my AC unit?
Ice usually means either restricted airflow (dirty filter, blocked vents, failing blower) or low refrigerant. Turn the system off and let it thaw completely before we arrive — running it frozen can damage the compressor.
My AC is leaking water inside my house. What should I do?
That's almost always a clogged condensate drain overflowing the drain pan. Turn the system off at the thermostat to stop the water, put towels down, and call us. Water damage to ceilings and floors costs far more than the drain clearing itself.
How much does an AC repair cost?
It depends entirely on the failed part and your system, which is why we diagnose first and quote in writing before working. You'll know the price before we pick up a wrench.
