Commercial HVAC Repair Services

We also Repair AC Units for Businesses, which can also be affected by air conditioning failure and unlike most family homes, they work around the clock. If you run a business and are caught with an AC malfunction at a strange hour, you don’t have to wait to get it fixed. Don’t lose inventory or cause customers and employees discomfort, give us a call and well fix your AC unit quickly. We have technicians on call 24/7 for residential and commercial HVAC customers like you.

The decision of whether to repair or replace your broken air conditioning unit depends on many factors. The most important considerations to weigh in include:

• how much it would cost to fix it
• how old the malfunctioning unit is
• how long the repair could potentially last
• how much it would cost to install a new one

In some circumstances, the parts are irreparable because the low SEER rating is no longer supported, so there are no replacement parts available to purchase. In other situations, the costs of service & maintenance are higher than if you buy a new HVAC unit with a more energy-efficient air conditioning system. Whatever your particular situation is, we’re here to help you make the best decision and will offer honest advice and options to choose from, and make sure you don’t waste money.

We can help you replace an old ac unit that is draining your bank account and install an energy star-certified air conditioner. If your unit requires an expensive set of components, we can install a new ac unit for a home or business. This includes any make or model.

The price to fix an air conditioning unit varies greatly depending on the type of replacement part needed to get it functioning properly. On average most AC repairs cost at least $200. For example, the cost to replace an AC condenser fan is between $300 to $600 and it’s considered a minor repair.

If the HVAC compressor or evaporator coil goes out you’re looking at a cost of at least $1000 but it could be as high as $3000 depending on the model and unit location.

If you own a new home, most parts can be replaced with a warranty and you only pay for the labor. Depending on the company you choose, you might end up paying a trip fee on top of the repair, while others will waive the trip fee if you hire them to do the repair.

Most HVAC systems will last 10 to 15 years, depending on the brand, use and geography/climate. If you run your AC unit 24/7 in Texas you can expect more wear and tear. If you properly maintain your unit, you can avoid the headaches of mid-summer repairs. Proper maintenance usually entails cleaning the filters, ducts and checking the mechanism for preemptive repairs. 

The compressor is the most misdiagnosed repair when it comes to HVAC technicians. If another HVAC business says you need a new compressor we strongly urge you to get a second opinion. First, you should ensure you have a trustworthy company.  Next, check to see if your compressor is still under warranty. This will save you quite a bit of cash and you will only pay for labor. If you are not under warranty, you should consider replacing the entire unit. Replacing the unit is a bit more expensive than replacing the compressor, but sinking the cost of a compressor into an aging HVAC unit may wind up costing you more in the long run.

If your air conditioner is making a loud noise that sounds like metal on metal, you should first check the bearings on the fan. If this is the case you will need to replace the fan motor entirely. It could also be a sign of rotor failure, which happens when a faulty fan breaks apart.

The most likely scenario is that your fan is hitting something. It could be something that fell into the unit or the bearings could be wearing down. We regularly find sticks from trees fall. The other possible culprits causing the banging noise include the fan coming loose from the mount or the rotor sustaining damage from debris and bending or breaking apart.
