AC Not Cooling? Get Clear Answers Today.

The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor in the outdoor unit, a frozen evaporator coil from airflow restriction, a tripped float switch from a clogged condensate drain, or a heat pump stuck in heat mode. The right fix depends on which cause we find. We diagnose first, then quote. 

A standard AC diagnostic at Honest Fix is a $99 dispatch fee ($89 for first-time customers). After-hours and weekend diagnostics are $149. Holiday and emergency diagnostics are $198. The dispatch fee is credited toward approved repairs of $500 or more. If you have our $25 community Leo magnet, it applies to your dispatch fee at the time of service. 

It depends on what's wrong. If your AC is running but not cooling the house and you see ice forming on the copper line outside or near the indoor unit, shut the system off and let it thaw. Running a frozen system makes the damage worse. If the system isn't frozen and isn't making unusual noises, leaving it off until a diagnostic is generally safer than running it. 

Same-day diagnostics are often available, especially during cooling season when we staff for AC demand. Same-day repair depends on whether the parts needed are stocked on the truck. We confirm both at the time you schedule. 

Not every AC problem makes sense to repair. If the age, condition, or cost of repair pushes toward replacement being the smarter call, we explain that plainly, and the dispatch fee credits toward the new system instead of being lost. You decide which direction makes sense for your home. 

Every qualifying AC repair is backed by the Service Trust Guardian: a 5-year labor warranty on the repair, a 60-day money-back satisfaction guarantee, a no-overtime charge guarantee for covered after-hours or emergency service, and a free 30-Day Follow-Up Service visit if a related issue arises from the original repair. Yearly documented maintenance from Honest Fix is required to keep the labor protection valid. Full Service Trust Guardian terms. 

The most common causes for an AC blowing warm air are low refrigerant from a leak, a thermostat set to "Heat" or "Off" instead of "Cool," a tripped breaker on the outdoor unit, a frozen evaporator coil from restricted airflow, or a heat pump stuck in heat mode. The fix depends on which one we find. A $99 dispatch fee diagnostic identifies the real cause and gives you an exact repair quote before any work begins.
