Hear from Our Customers
Your AC doesn’t pick convenient times to break. It quits at 9 PM on a Saturday or right before a holiday weekend when Gilroy temperatures hit the high 80s and your house turns into an oven.
You need emergency air conditioner repair in Gilroy, CA that actually responds. Not a voicemail. Not a “we’ll call you Monday” runaround. You need a truck in your driveway and a technician who knows what they’re doing.
That’s what we do. We arrive the same day you call, diagnose the problem in plain language, and give you an upfront price before we touch anything. No surprises, no upselling, no waiting around sweating while we “check with the office.”
Most emergency AC unit repair calls in Gilroy, CA get resolved in one visit. Compressor issues, refrigerant leaks, electrical failures, blower motor problems—we carry the parts and tools to handle it on the spot. You’re not waiting days for an order to come in while your family camps out in front of box fans.
All Fresh Temp has been handling emergency hvac services in Gilroy, CA and throughout Santa Clara County since 1985. That’s four decades of late-night calls, weekend breakdowns, and systems that “no one else could figure out.”
We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve seen every brand and every failure mode. Trane, Bryant, Carrier, Lennox, American Standard—if it cools your house, we’ve fixed it. Our technicians don’t guess. They diagnose, explain what’s wrong, and tell you exactly what it’ll cost to fix it.
Gilroy’s Mediterranean climate means your AC isn’t optional from May through October. When it fails during a heat wave, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up prepared. We stock our trucks for the most common emergency repairs because we know what breaks and when.
You call us when your AC stops working. We answer—actually answer, not an automated system—and schedule a same-day visit. Most emergency AC repair calls in Gilroy, CA get a technician dispatched within two hours.
Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck. They run diagnostics on your system, check refrigerant levels, test electrical components, inspect the compressor and blower motor, and identify the exact failure point. Then they explain what’s wrong in terms that make sense, not HVAC jargon designed to confuse you.
You get a fixed price before any work starts. If you approve it, we fix it right there. Most repairs finish the same visit. If we need a specialty part, we tell you exactly when we’ll have it and return to complete the job.
Once it’s fixed, we test the system, confirm it’s cooling properly, and walk you through what we did. You’re not left wondering if it’ll quit again tomorrow. We stand behind the work, and if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right.

Emergency AC service in Gilroy, CA means we handle the full scope of urgent cooling failures. Refrigerant leaks, compressor breakdowns, electrical issues, frozen coils, blower motor failures, thermostat malfunctions, and ductwork problems that kill airflow.
Gilroy homeowners deal with specific challenges. Dust from agricultural areas clogs filters faster than urban locations. Temperature swings between day and night stress older systems. Houses near the foothills run AC units harder to keep up. We account for these local factors when diagnosing problems.
You also get honest assessments about repair versus replacement. If your 18-year-old system needs a $1,200 compressor replacement, we’ll tell you that investing in a new high-efficiency unit might make more financial sense. If a $300 repair buys you three more good years, we’ll tell you that too.
Our 24hr AC repair service in Gilroy, CA covers all major brands and system types—central air, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and package units. We’re not locked into one manufacturer, which means we fix what you have, not just what we sell.
Most emergency calls get a technician dispatched within two hours. If you call during peak summer demand or late at night, it might stretch to three or four hours, but we’re not making you wait until the next business day.
We prioritize based on severity and schedule. A complete system failure during a 95-degree afternoon gets faster response than a unit that’s running but not cooling efficiently. But we’re transparent about timing when you call—you’ll know exactly when to expect us.
Our trucks are staged throughout Santa Clara County, including routes that cover Gilroy, Morgan Hill, and San Martin. That geographic coverage means shorter drive times and faster emergency response compared to companies dispatching from San Jose or further north.
Emergency service calls start with a diagnostic fee that covers the visit and troubleshooting, typically between $89 and $150 depending on time of day. That fee usually applies toward the repair cost if you proceed with the work.
Actual repair costs depend entirely on what’s broken. A capacitor replacement might run $150 to $300. A blower motor replacement could be $400 to $800. Compressor replacements range from $1,200 to $2,500 depending on system size and refrigerant type. Refrigerant recharges vary based on how much is needed and whether you have R-22 or newer R-410A.
We give you the exact price before starting any repair. No “we’ll see once we get in there” pricing. You approve the cost, then we do the work. If the repair estimate seems high relative to your system’s age and condition, we’ll discuss whether replacement makes more sense financially.
Yes, after-hours calls typically include a premium for nights, weekends, and holidays. That premium covers technician availability outside normal business hours and usually adds $50 to $100 to the service call fee.
We’re upfront about that cost when you call. If your AC fails at 10 PM but the house is still tolerable, we can schedule a first-thing-in-the-morning visit at standard rates. If you need it fixed tonight, we’ll come tonight—you just pay the after-hours rate.
Most customers dealing with a legitimate emergency—no cooling during extreme heat, elderly family members or young children in the house, medical conditions affected by temperature—find the after-hours premium worthwhile. You’re paying for immediate relief, not waiting 12 hours in an overheated house.
Capacitor failures top the list, especially during the first major heat wave of summer. Capacitors start the compressor and blower motor, and they wear out from repeated heating and cooling cycles. When they fail, your system won’t start or will hum but not run.
Refrigerant leaks rank second. Older systems with R-22 refrigerant develop leaks at connection points and coil joints. Low refrigerant means poor cooling performance and eventually a complete shutdown when safety switches detect the problem.
Electrical issues come in third—breakers that trip repeatedly, contactors that fail, or wiring that overheats. Gilroy’s agricultural dust can infiltrate outdoor units and cause electrical components to short or corrode faster than in cleaner environments. Regular filter changes help, but outdoor unit maintenance matters just as much.
Yes. We service every major residential AC brand—Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, York, Coleman, and others. Our technicians carry diagnostic tools and common parts that work across multiple brands.
Some proprietary components require brand-specific parts, but we stock the most common failure items for popular brands. If your system needs a specialty part we don’t carry, we source it quickly—usually next-day delivery—and return to complete the repair.
Forty years in business means we’ve worked on systems from every era and every manufacturer. We’ve seen the common failure patterns, the design flaws that show up after 10 years, and the parts that consistently wear out first. That experience translates to faster, more accurate diagnostics regardless of what brand is on your condenser pad.
If your system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of replacement, repair makes sense. If it’s over 15 years old and needs a major component like a compressor or evaporator coil, replacement usually offers better value.
The calculation changes based on efficiency. Older systems use significantly more energy than modern high-efficiency units. A 12-year-old system running at 10 SEER might cost you $200+ monthly in summer electricity. A new 16 SEER system could cut that to $120-$140, saving $60-$80 monthly. Over five years, that’s $3,600 to $4,800 in savings that offsets replacement cost.
We’ll walk through the math with you during the emergency call. If repair makes sense, we’ll fix it. If replacement saves you money long-term, we’ll explain why and give you options. You decide based on real numbers, not pressure tactics.
