Does this sound familiar?
- AC runs without cooling the house
- System shuts off or will not start
- Ice on the refrigerant line or indoor coil
- Water around the indoor unit
- Unusual noises or repeated breaker trips
What to expect.
Describe the symptoms and when they started. We inspect the system and check operation before recommending work.
Depending on the symptoms, diagnosis can include airflow, electrical components, controls, drainage, and refrigerant performance.
We explain the findings and repair options. Ask for the full scope and price before authorizing work.
Before your appointment.
Check the thermostat setting and note the filter size and last change. If the system is frozen or repeatedly trips a breaker, stop running it and call. Do not open electrical panels or handle refrigerant.
What affects the cost?
The failed part, equipment age, refrigerant type, leak testing, access, and parts availability all affect the repair cost. The diagnostic visit is $89, waived with a completed repair. We will discuss the recommended work before you authorize it.
Planning your Newcastle visit.
We serve properties in Newcastle. Mention multiple systems, recent renovations, or rooms with uneven temperatures when scheduling your appointment.

The refrigerant specified for your equipment matters when assessing a leak, a major component repair, or replacement. R-410A and R-22 are not interchangeable. A technician should identify the equipment and refrigerant, investigate the fault, and explain the appropriate repair.
An older R-22 system does not automatically have to be replaced just because of the refrigerant phaseout. EPA permits servicing existing equipment. Parts and refrigerant availability, equipment condition, the fault, and the full repair cost still affect whether repair or replacement makes sense.
For a refrigerant-related problem, ask whether the proposed work includes finding and addressing the leak, rather than only adding refrigerant. We discuss the findings and scope before work proceeds.
