What is your air conditioner doing?
Every AC failure falls into a small number of categories. Pick the one that matches your symptom to see what causes it, what diagnosis involves, and what the repair typically costs to plan for.
Running but not cooling
Air moves but never gets cold, or cooling has faded across the season.
Read the diagnosis →Water around the unit
Condensate at the air handler, a tripped float switch, or a ceiling stain.
Read the diagnosis →Ice on the coil or lines
Frost on the indoor coil or the large copper line means airflow or charge trouble.
Read the diagnosis →Humming, clicking, tripping
Outdoor unit that will not start, or a breaker that keeps tripping.
Read the diagnosis →Blank or wrong thermostat
Dead display, incorrect readings, or a smart thermostat that keeps rebooting.
Read the diagnosis →Cooling failed completely
No cooling at all, with heat building in the house — describe it when you call.

Repair and verification
Work is completed and performance is confirmed with measured readings.
Understand your system
How a central split system actually cools your home
Air conditioning does not create cold air — it moves heat out of your house. Knowing which component does what makes any diagnosis you are told far easier to evaluate.
- The blower pulls warm indoor air across the cold evaporator coil.
- Refrigerant absorbs that heat and carries it outdoors as vapor.
- The compressor raises its pressure so the heat can be rejected outside.
- The condenser coil dumps that heat to outdoor air.
- Moisture condensing on the indoor coil drains away as condensate.
Cost planning
Estimate an Orlando AC repair before you call
Answer four questions to see the planning range that fits your situation, along with the causes typically behind that category of repair.
AC repair cost estimator
Choose what the system is doing and a few details about the equipment. The result is a planning range, not a quote.
Planning range
$300 – $900
- Likely work category
- Cooling performance diagnosis
- Complexity
- MODERATE
A single functional component is replaced — a contactor, control board relay, float switch, thermostat or fan motor capacitor assembly.
Common causes in this category
- Failed run capacitor or contactor at the outdoor unit
- Restricted airflow from a loaded filter or dirty evaporator coil
- Low refrigerant charge, which normally points to a leak
- Thermostat calling incorrectly or a broken low-voltage control circuit
This estimate is for planning only and is not a quote. Actual pricing depends on diagnosis, equipment, parts, access, provider and scope of work.
Decisions
Repair it, or replace it?
This is the question that costs the most money when it is answered badly — usually because it was answered in a hurry on the hottest day of the year.
Age matters, but so does what failed, what refrigerant the system uses, and how many repairs it has needed recently. A capacitor on a six-year-old system is an easy call. A compressor on a sixteen-year-old R-22 system is an entirely different conversation.
Service areas
Orlando neighborhoods and nearby communities
Housing age, equipment placement and exposure differ noticeably across the Orlando area, and so do the failures we hear about. Each area page covers what is specific to that neighborhood.
Prevention
Why Florida run hours change the maintenance math
Equipment here runs much of the year against constant humidity. Long cooling seasons, high humidity and extended run times can increase wear on air-conditioning components in Central Florida.
Measured annual service — temperature split, static pressure, capacitance, amp draw, superheat and subcooling — catches drift while it is still cheap, and clears the condensate drain before it damages a ceiling.
Orlando AC repair questions
- What areas of Orlando do you cover?
- Requests are handled across Orlando and nearby communities, including Dr Phillips, MetroWest, Downtown Orlando, College Park, Baldwin Park, Conway, Lake Nona, Hunters Creek, Winter Park, Maitland, Windermere and Winter Garden. The service areas page lists every neighborhood page.
- How much does AC repair cost in Orlando?
- Most residential repairs fall between roughly $150 and $900, with refrigerant work, major motors, coils and compressors ranging higher. The cost estimator on this site produces a planning range from your symptom, system type, age and urgency — it is not a quote, because the real repair is only known after diagnosis.
- My AC stopped working — what should I check first?
- Check the thermostat setting and batteries, confirm the breakers for both the air handler and the outdoor unit, and look at the filter. If a breaker has tripped twice, if there is ice, water reaching finished space, or any burning smell, turn the system off and request service rather than continuing to run it.
- Do you charge for a diagnosis?
- Diagnostic fees vary by provider and by the time of day the visit occurs. Ask about the diagnostic fee, whether it applies toward the repair, and the after-hours difference when you call 904-913-1112, so there are no surprises.
- Are you available for emergency AC repair?
- Emergency requests are common and can be submitted at any time, but availability depends on provider capacity. We do not advertise 24/7 staffing or guaranteed arrival windows, because that would not be an honest description of how scheduling works.
- Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
- Weigh age, the cost of this specific repair, repair history and refrigerant type together. Small electrical repairs on newer equipment almost always favor repair; a compressor or coil failure on mid-teens R-22 equipment usually favors replacement. The repair-versus-replace diagram on this page walks through it.
- Why is my house humid even when the temperature is right?
- Moisture removal depends on long run cycles with a cold coil. Oversized equipment satisfies the thermostat before removing much water, so the house feels cool and clammy. Leaving the fan on auto rather than on, correcting airflow and right-sizing equipment all help.
