Typical AC Repair Costs in Sonoma, CA (No Surprises)
Most AC repairs in Sonoma fall between low-cost fixes and mid-range repairs depending on the part, labor, and complexity. Smaller issues like thermostats, drain line clogs, and minor electrical repairs cost less. Larger issues like coil repairs, blower motor replacements, and refrigerant leaks cost more.
If repair costs start approaching about half the cost of a new system — or your AC is 12 to 15 years old — we’ll talk honestly about replacement. No pressure. Just facts so you can make the best decision.
Common AC Problems Sonoma Homeowners Deal With
If you’re dealing with any of these, call us before the issue gets bigger:
- AC blowing warm or barely cool air
- Low airflow from vents
- Hot and cold spots in the home
- Loud squealing or grinding noises
- System turning on and off constantly
- Unusual smells coming from vents
- Water leaking around the indoor unit
- AC won’t turn on at all
- Higher-than-normal electric bills
Sonoma’s warm summer days, cooler nights, and dusty environments (especially near vineyards and rural areas) can all affect cooling systems more than people realize. We’ve seen it all and fix these problems every day.

How to Keep Your AC Running Longer
A few simple habits can prevent most breakdowns:
- Change or clean air filters every 1 to 3 months
- Keep the outdoor condenser clear of leaves and dirt
- Avoid blocking vents with furniture
- Get a yearly AC tune-up
- Call when something feels “off” instead of waiting
Most homeowners are surprised how much these small tasks help reduce energy bills and extend their AC’s lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How fast can you come out if my AC stops working?
Usually the same day, especially during hot weather. We know how urgent AC breakdowns are.
What’s the most common AC issue you see in Sonoma?
Dirty coils, clogged filters, low refrigerant, and bad capacitors. Sonoma’s dust and summer heat are tough on systems.
Is it okay to keep running my AC if it’s making noise?
Not really. Strange noises usually mean a part is failing. Running it can make the damage worse.
How long should an AC unit last in Sonoma?
Most systems last 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance helps them last longer.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my AC?
If it’s older than 12 years, needs frequent repairs, or the repair cost is close to half the cost of a new unit, replacement usually makes more sense.
What's included in an AC repair estimate?
Our estimates detail exactly what's wrong, what parts are needed, labor costs, and total price. We break everything down clearly so there are no surprises. The estimate includes the specific problem we found during diagnostics, replacement parts required with brand names and part numbers, labor time for the repair, any additional materials needed like refrigerant or electrical components, warranty information for parts and labor, and total cost with no hidden fees. If we find additional problems during the repair, we stop and discuss options with you before doing extra work. You'll never get a bill for services we didn't discuss and approve first.
Do you work on heat pumps and ductless mini-splits?
Yes. We repair all home cooling systems.
Can low refrigerant be refilled without fixing the leak?
No. Topping off without repairing the leak is temporary and can damage the system. We always check for leaks first.
