Prices based on Denver Metro service calls. Actual cost depends on your specific system and the parts needed.
Denver's altitude affects refrigerant pressures and system performance. A technician who doesn't account for altitude may misdiagnose the problem — treating a pressure reading as abnormal when it's actually normal for 5,000+ feet, or vice versa.
Our NATE-certified technicians understand Front Range conditions. We diagnose the actual problem, not just the symptom, which means fewer repeat visits and lower total repair costs.
Most AC repairs in Denver cost $150-$700. Capacitor replacements run $150-$350, refrigerant recharges $200-$600, and blower motors $300-$700. We waive the diagnostic fee with completed repair.
If your AC is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half a new unit, repair makes sense. Over 12-15 years old with a major repair? Replacement is usually the better investment.
We charge $75-$150 for a diagnostic visit, but we waive this fee when you proceed with the repair. You only pay for the repair itself.
We offer same-day AC repair across the Denver Metro. Most common repairs are completed on the first visit because we carry parts on our trucks.
The most common causes are a dirty filter, low refrigerant, a failed capacitor, or a frozen evaporator coil. At altitude, refrigerant behaves differently — proper diagnosis requires experience with Front Range systems.
