AC repairs we handle in Richmond
No cooling at all
we start with refrigerant charge, compressor amp draw, and condenser coil condition. That covers the majority of ‘not cold’ calls.
System won’t power on
capacitors and contactors are the first check. They fail quietly on systems over 7–8 years old and are usually on the truck.
Weak airflow inside
blower motor, dirty filter, or a duct blockage. We trace it back before opening anything up.
Water near the air handler
blocked condensate drain. Fast fix, but causes water damage if left alone.
Short cycling
turns on and off every few minutes. Usually refrigerant, an oversized system, or thermostat. All diagnosable.
Noises
hissing, rattling, grinding. Each sound points to something different. We listen first.
What honest HVAC repair looks like in Richmond
A Richmond homeowner on the east side had been told by two companies that her heat pump was done — full replacement at around $8,000. She called us before signing anything. Andrew found an electrical issue at the disconnect box and low refrigerant. Total repair came in under $400. System’s been running since.
Get a second opinion before you spend thousands. The $89 diagnostic pays for itself when it saves you a replacement you didn’t need.
“I cannot recommend Andrew and his team enough. We had a complete system failure and he had us back up and running faster than I expected. Fair pricing, no pressure, and he actually explained everything he was doing. This is exactly how a local business should operate.”

Downtown Richmond, peak summer — same day
A couple near downtown called us on a Friday afternoon in late July. Their system had been struggling for a week — running constantly but not keeping up. We found a coil almost completely blocked with debris plus a capacitor reading below spec — both problems an annual AC tune-up would have caught months earlier. Cleaned the coil, swapped the capacitor, recharged the refrigerant slightly. They had a house ten degrees cooler by that evening.
