Common AC Problems in Ukiah Homes — And How We Fix Them
Weak Cooling or Warm Air
Often caused by low refrigerant, clogged coils, airflow issues, or compressor problems. We check refrigerant levels, test coils and airflow, inspect the outdoor condenser, and repair or replace failing parts.
AC Won’t Turn On
Usually tied to electrical issues like a bad capacitor, faulty relay, tripped breaker, or thermostat failure. We test the entire electrical path with a multimeter and repair the issue safely.
Poor Airflow or Hot Spots
Dirty filters, blower motor issues, blocked ducts, or fan problems are common. We inspect ductwork, replace or clean filters, and test fan performance.
Leaks, Ice Build-Up, or Strange Odors
These can signal clogged drain lines, refrigerant leaks, dirty coils, mold growth, or electrical problems. We clear drain lines, test for leaks, clean the system, and make necessary repairs.
Older Systems Struggling to Keep Up
If your AC is 12–15 years old, repairs might only buy temporary relief. We’ll help you decide between repair and replacement by comparing lifespan, performance, and cost.
Why Regular AC Maintenance Matters
A lot of AC repairs can be prevented with simple routine care. Many Ukiah homeowners have older systems, so dirt, heat, and lack of maintenance can take a toll.
Our seasonal tune-ups include:
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Cleaning evaporator and condenser coils
- Inspecting electrical components
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Testing airflow
- Checking the condensate drain
- Verifying safe operation
- Calibrating the thermostat
Routine maintenance improves cooling, cuts energy bills, and reduces the chance of emergency breakdowns during the hottest days of summer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if my AC needs repair or just maintenance?
If you notice warm air, weak airflow, unusual noises, leaks, or a higher energy bill, it’s probably a repair. A simple filter change rarely fixes these issues. A technician can identify the cause quickly.
What does a typical AC repair cost?
Costs vary depending on the issue. Smaller repairs like capacitor or contactor replacement are usually affordable. Larger repairs — like compressor or coil work — cost more. We always diagnose the problem first and explain all your options.
Should I repair or replace my old AC?
If your AC is over 12 years old or breaking down often, replacement can be more cost-effective. Repairs on very old units sometimes only last a season. We’ll compare both options so you can make the best decision.
How often should I schedule AC maintenance?
Once a year is ideal. Regular tune-ups help your AC last longer, prevent surprise breakdowns, and keep cooling costs lower during Ukiah’s hot months.
Do you offer emergency repairs?
Yes. If your AC stops working during a heatwave, call us. We try to offer same-day service whenever possible.
Are your technicians qualified to handle refrigerants safely?
Yes. All technicians are EPA-certified and trained to safely recover, test, and recharge refrigerant when needed
How do I know I’m getting an honest estimate?
