How an honest AC diagnosis actually works
When your AC quits, the symptom rarely names the cause — warm air at the vents can be a $40 capacitor, a refrigerant leak, or a dying compressor, and anyone quoting a firm price over the phone is guessing. Our technician starts at the electrical panel and works through the system in order: capacitors and contactors under load, refrigerant pressures against manufacturer spec, coil condition, blower amperage, condensate path. When we find the failure, you see it — the swollen capacitor, the pressure reading, the iced coil — before we talk money. And because our techs earn nothing extra for finding bigger problems, the diagnosis ends where the evidence ends. That's the difference between a repair visit and a sales visit, and it's why our $175 diagnostic credits toward the fix.
