AC service
Same-day AC diagnosis. Written quotes before we touch a wrench.
Most weekday no-cool calls get a tech to your door within four hours. We service every major residential brand — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Mitsubishi — and tell you what's wrong before we tell you what it costs.
Pricing
What it costs.
Typical residential AC pricing in MetroWest. The diagnostic fee comes off the repair total if we fix it on the same visit.
-
Diagnostic visit
On-site diagnosis, system test, written findings. Applied in full toward any repair we make the same day.
$95 -
Capacitor replacement
The most common AC failure. Single capacitor, parts and labor, system retested under load.
$250–$350 -
Contactor replacement
The relay that switches the compressor on and off. Replacement, electrical test, condenser run cycle.
$200–$300 -
Refrigerant leak repair
Electronic leak detection, line repair or coil work, evacuation and recharge. Wide range — small line-set leaks land low, coil leaks land high.
$500–$1,500 -
Full refrigerant recharge
After leak repair: full evacuation, vacuum pull, weighed-in charge to manufacturer spec.
$400–$900 -
Blower motor replacement
Indoor air-handler blower. Variable-speed ECM motors run higher; PSC motors land at the low end.
$600–$1,100 -
Annual AC tune-up
Full inspection and adjustment per the checklist below. May appointment recommended — books up by mid-April most years.
$189
Prices reflect typical residential systems installed in the last twenty years. Specialty equipment, oversized systems, and after-hours emergency visits are quoted separately. Wisetack financing available on any repair over $300 — 12, 24, or 60 months with no prepayment penalty.
How it goes
From the call to cold air.
-
Call answered live
Mike or Maria picks up — (508) 423-9847 weekdays 7 to 7. Most no-cool calls before noon get a tech dispatched the same afternoon.
-
Diagnostic in your home
Refrigerant pressure, electrical, airflow, and controls — checked top to bottom. The tech walks you through what they found before they quote.
-
Flat-rate quote, on paper
Every repair priced before we start. The $95 diagnostic comes off the total if we do the work the same day.
-
Fix, test, document
Repair, run a full cool cycle to confirm, leave the diagnostic notes in your email so you have a record for next time.
What we check
Every diagnostic covers:
- Refrigerant pressure on the high and low side
- Capacitor and contactor condition
- Compressor amp draw under load
- Condenser fan motor, blade, and bearing
- Indoor blower motor and wheel balance
- Evaporator coil for ice, oil residue, or fouling
- Condensate drain line and overflow pan
- Electronic leak detection if pressures are off
- Thermostat calibration and low-voltage wiring
- Air filter, return airflow, and static pressure
- Supply temperatures at the registers
- Visible ductwork at the equipment
Questions
Worth asking before you book.
How fast can you get here for a no-cool call?
Weekday calls before noon almost always get a tech the same afternoon. After-hours and weekend calls are dispatched at our standard rate plus a flat $95 dispatch fee — no inflated emergency markup. We'll tell you straight on the phone if we can't be there in the window you need.
Do you stock parts on the truck?
Yes — capacitors, contactors, fan motors, and the common control board for every brand we service are on the truck. Most no-cool calls get fixed on the first visit. Specialty parts (variable-speed motors, OEM coils) usually ship in 2–3 business days.
My AC is 15 years old — is it still worth repairing?
Depends on what's wrong. A $300 capacitor on a 15-year-old system is an easy yes. A $1,500 compressor on the same system probably isn't — we'll run the repair-versus-replace math with you on the spot, including the Mass Save rebates available if you go to a heat pump.
Why did my AC die in July when it was fine in June?
Most mid-summer failures are capacitors that drift out of spec under sustained heat load, or a clogged condenser coil that's been straining the compressor all season. Both are quick fixes if caught early. A tune-up in May usually catches both.
Do you service R-22 systems?
Yes, with a caveat: R-22 has been out of production since 2020 and recycled stock is running over $200 a pound. For most R-22 systems that need refrigerant, replacement now beats repair on five-year cost. We'll quote both honestly.
What's the warranty on a repair?
Parts we install carry their manufacturer warranty (most are one to five years). Our labor on the repair itself is warranted for 12 months — if the same component fails inside that window for an installation-related reason, we come back and make it right at no cost.
Same-day visits, most weekdays

Most weekday calls before noon get a tech to your door before five. The ones that can't, we tell you straight.
