How much is the AC repair diagnostic?
Our residential diagnostic is $79 in Las Vegas and includes a full system check of airflow, electrical components, refrigerant levels, and safety controls. We provide clear repair options and upfront pricing after diagnostics.
What are the most common AC repairs?
The most common fixes involve capacitors, contactors, thermostat issues, refrigerant leaks, and airflow restrictions. We diagnose the root cause to prevent repeat breakdowns.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
The most common causes are a dirty air filter, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor or compressor, a frozen evaporator coil, or incorrect thermostat settings. Check your filter and thermostat first — if the problem persists, call for a same-day diagnostic.
What is the most expensive AC repair?
The compressor is the most expensive AC component, typically $1,400 - $2,875 for parts and labor. Evaporator coils are second at $1,150 - $2,300. If either fails on a system older than 12 years, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair.
Clear expectations for diagnostics, pricing, and response times in Las Vegas.
Is AC repair urgent?
Yes if your home is overheating, you have vulnerable occupants, or the system is making loud electrical noises. Turn the system off and call immediately. For routine cooling issues, same-day service is often available.

Catching problems early prevents expensive breakdowns. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a diagnostic before the issue worsens.
Usually caused by low refrigerant, a failed compressor, or a tripped outdoor unit breaker. Check your thermostat is set to COOL first.
A clogged filter, failed blower motor, frozen evaporator coil, or ductwork leak can all reduce airflow. Start by checking the filter.
Grinding indicates a failing motor bearing. Squealing suggests a belt issue. Banging or clanking means a loose or broken internal component.
Often caused by an oversized unit, low refrigerant, dirty condenser coils, or a failing compressor. Short cycling wastes energy and damages the system.
A clogged condensate drain line, cracked drain pan, or frozen evaporator coil can cause water leaks. Left unaddressed, this leads to water damage and mold.
Ice indicates restricted airflow (dirty filter/coil) or low refrigerant from a leak. Never scrape ice off — turn the system to FAN ONLY and call for service.
Musty smell means mold in the ducts or on the evaporator coil. Burning suggests an electrical issue. Chemical smell could be a refrigerant leak — turn off immediately.
A system losing efficiency due to a failing component, refrigerant leak, or dirty coils will run longer and harder, driving up energy costs 20–40%.
Could be a failing thermostat sensor, but more often indicates the system can't maintain set temperature due to an underlying mechanical issue.
In the Las Vegas climate, annual maintenance prevents 80% of common breakdowns. Systems running without maintenance are 3x more likely to fail during peak heat.
Try these steps first — they solve about 20% of AC issues without a service call. If the problem persists, call (702) 567-0707 for same-day diagnosis.

If the outdoor fan runs but air isn't cool, or if you hear clicking/humming but the unit won't start

If the outdoor unit isn't running, or if you see ice on the lines — this likely indicates low refrigerant from a leak

Immediately for grinding or banging — running a system with a failing motor bearing causes compressor damage
If your AC was manufactured before 2010, it likely uses R-22 (Freon) — a refrigerant that was phased out in 2020. This dramatically affects repair economics.
| Refrigerant | Status | Cost Per Pound | Availability | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R-410A (Puron) | Current standard | $50–$150 | Readily available | Used in all AC systems manufactured after 2010 |
| R-22 (Freon) | Phased out (2020) | $100–$250+ | Limited supply, rising cost | Production banned. Existing supply only. Recharge cost 2–5x higher than R-410A |
| R-454B (Puron Advance) | New standard (2025+) | $75–$175 | New systems only | Lower global warming potential. Required in new systems from 2025 |
Bottom line: If your R-22 system has a refrigerant leak, a single recharge can cost $600–$3,000. At that price, upgrading to a modern R-410A or R-454B system with a full warranty is almost always the smarter investment. Use our Repair vs. Replace calculator →
