Hear from Our Customers
You walked into a house that feels like an oven. The thermostat says 88 degrees and climbing. Your kids are cranky, your pets are panting, and you’re trying to figure out if you need to book a hotel for the night.
Here’s what happens when we handle your emergency air conditioner repair in New Almaden: we dispatch a technician within hours, often within 60 minutes of your call. Most repairs get done the same day because our trucks carry the parts that fail most often—capacitors, contactors, fan motors, refrigerant. You’re not waiting three days for an appointment or another week for a part to arrive.
Once the repair is complete, we test the system to make sure it’s running efficiently and cooling properly. You get your house back to a livable temperature, and you get straight answers about what failed, why it failed, and what you can do to avoid it happening again.
All Fresh Temp serves homeowners throughout Santa Clara County, including New Almaden. We run emergency HVAC services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because AC failures don’t wait for business hours.
New Almaden sits in a climate where summer heat isn’t optional—it’s relentless. Dust from the surrounding hills, an overworked electrical grid, and systems that run nonstop from June through September all contribute to breakdowns. We’ve seen it all, and we know what fails first in this area.
When you call, you’re talking to someone local who understands that waiting until Monday isn’t an option when it’s Saturday at 6 PM and your house is 90 degrees inside.
You call or submit a request. We ask a few quick questions about what’s happening—no cooling, strange noises, burning smells, breaker tripping—and we prioritize your call based on urgency and safety.
A technician gets dispatched to your New Almaden home, usually within a couple of hours. They arrive with diagnostic tools—multimeters, refrigerant gauges, leak detectors—and a truck stocked with the most common failure parts.
The technician runs a full system check: electrical components, refrigerant levels, airflow, compressor function. Once they identify the problem, they explain what’s wrong in plain terms and give you a price before starting any work. No surprises, no upselling.
If it’s a part we have on the truck, the repair happens on the spot. If it’s something more complex, we’re transparent about timing and next steps. After the repair, we test the system to confirm it’s cooling correctly and operating safely.

Emergency AC repair in New Almaden includes full system diagnostics, not just a quick patch. We check electrical connections, measure refrigerant pressures, inspect the compressor and condenser, test capacitors and contactors, and evaluate airflow through the system.
If your system is low on refrigerant, we locate the leak before adding more. If a capacitor failed, we check why—because sometimes it’s a symptom of a bigger issue like a failing compressor or dirty coils. If your breaker keeps tripping, we trace the electrical fault instead of just resetting it and hoping.
Santa Clara County summers are brutal on AC systems. Units run 10-12 hours a day, dust clogs coils faster than in coastal areas, and the electrical load during peak hours stresses components. We account for all of that when diagnosing your system.
You also get honest advice. If your system is on its last leg and you’re looking at a second expensive repair in six months, we’ll tell you. If it’s a simple fix that buys you another few years, we’ll tell you that too.
Most of the time, we’re at your door within a few hours. If you call during peak heat—say, 3 PM on a 100-degree day—it might take a bit longer because everyone’s system is failing at once, but we prioritize based on urgency and safety.
If you have elderly family members, infants, or anyone with a health condition that makes heat dangerous, tell us when you call. Same goes if you’re dealing with electrical issues like burning smells or sparking—those move to the front of the line.
We don’t make you wait three days for an appointment. When your AC is out and your house is climbing into the 90s, that’s an emergency, and we treat it like one.
You’ll pay an emergency call-out fee, typically between $100 and $250 depending on the time and day. After-hours, weekends, and holidays cost more because we’re pulling a technician away from their time off.
The actual repair cost depends on what’s broken. A failed capacitor might run $150 to $300 total. A compressor replacement could be $1,500 to $3,000. We give you the price before we start the work, so there’s no bill shock at the end.
Here’s the thing: emergency repairs aren’t cheap, but they’re often cheaper than letting the problem sit. A refrigerant leak that goes unaddressed can destroy your compressor. A failing capacitor can burn out your fan motor. Fixing it fast usually saves money in the long run.
Most emergency AC unit repair jobs in New Almaden get finished the same day because we stock the parts that fail most often. Capacitors, contactors, fan motors, thermostats, refrigerant—we carry all of it.
If your issue is something unusual—like a specific control board for an older system or a custom part—we’ll need to order it. But that’s rare. The majority of emergency breakdowns come down to a handful of common failures, and we’re prepared for those.
Even if we do need to order a part, we’ll do everything we can to get your system limping along in the meantime, or at least give you a realistic timeline so you’re not stuck guessing when your house will be livable again.
Capacitors fail more than anything else. They’re what help your compressor and fan motors start up, and when they go bad, your system won’t kick on. Capacitors wear out faster when they’re working hard, which is exactly what happens during a heatwave.
Refrigerant leaks are another big one. If your system is low on refrigerant, it can’t absorb heat, so you get warm air blowing out of your vents. Leaks usually happen at connection points or in the coils, especially if your system is older or hasn’t been maintained.
Dirty coils and clogged filters also cause failures. When airflow is restricted, your system has to work harder, which overheats components and trips breakers. In New Almaden, dust is a constant issue, so coils get dirty faster than in other areas.
We offer true 24-hour emergency HVAC services in New Almaden. That means if your system dies at 2 AM, you can call us and get a technician dispatched. It’s not an answering service that takes a message—you’re talking to someone who can send help.
AC failures don’t follow a schedule. Systems break down at night, on weekends, on holidays. We’ve taken calls on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day because someone’s heat went out or their AC failed during an unusual warm spell.
If you’re dealing with an emergency—no cooling during extreme heat, electrical issues, water leaks—don’t wait until morning. The longer you wait, the more uncomfortable your home gets, and in some cases, the more damage occurs.
If your house is getting dangerously hot and you have vulnerable people living there—elderly parents, young kids, anyone with a medical condition—that’s an emergency. Indoor temperatures above 85 degrees can cause heat exhaustion, especially if there’s no relief overnight.
If you’re smelling burning, seeing sparks, or hearing loud banging or grinding noises, that’s also an emergency. Those are signs of electrical faults or mechanical failures that can cause fires or more expensive damage if ignored.
If your system is just running inefficiently—taking longer to cool, not reaching the set temperature—that can probably wait for a regular appointment. But if you have no cooling at all during a heatwave, don’t wait. The sooner we diagnose the problem, the sooner you’re back to normal.
