What's Covered in Emergency AC Repair

Emergency AC repair in Los Gatos covers the full range of breakdowns that leave you without cooling. Refrigerant leaks, failed compressors, broken capacitors, electrical issues, frozen evaporator coils, blower motor failures—if it’s keeping your AC from running, we handle it.

We work on all major brands and models, which matters in Los Gatos where homes have everything from newer high-efficiency systems to older units that have been running for decades. Our technicians carry diagnostic tools and common replacement parts so most repairs happen on the spot.

Los Gatos summers can push AC systems hard, especially undersized units that run constantly trying to keep up. When those systems fail, it’s often because of deferred maintenance or parts that wore out under stress. We’ll tell you what broke, why it broke, and what you can do to prevent it next time.

You’re also getting transparent pricing. Emergency calls may cost more than scheduled service—that’s standard across the industry—but you’ll know the price before we start. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when we’re done.

How fast can you get to my home for emergency AC repair in Los Gatos?

We aim for same-day service on most emergency calls in Los Gatos, often within a few hours depending on our current schedule and your location. When you call, we’ll give you an honest timeframe—not a vague “we’ll get there when we can.”

Peak summer days when everyone’s AC is stressed can get busy, but we prioritize true emergencies where you have no cooling at all. If you’re dealing with extreme heat, elderly family members, or young children, let us know so we can prioritize accordingly.

We’re available 24/7 because AC systems don’t just break during business hours. Whether it’s 2 PM on a Tuesday or 11 PM on Saturday, you can reach us and get help. That’s the whole point of emergency service—being there when you actually need it.

Simple repairs like replacing a capacitor or fixing a minor electrical issue typically run $150-$400. Moderate repairs involving refrigerant leaks, blower motors, or control boards usually fall in the $400-$900 range. Major repairs like compressor replacement can run $900-$2,500 or more depending on your system.

Emergency calls may include a higher service fee because you’re getting immediate response outside normal hours. We’ll tell you the total cost upfront before starting any work, so there’s no confusion when we hand you the invoice.

What you’re paying for is speed, expertise, and the parts to fix it right now—not next week when you’ve suffered through days of heat. If the repair cost approaches what a new system would cost, we’ll tell you that too. Sometimes replacement makes more financial sense than pouring money into an old, failing unit.

Most emergency AC repairs in Los Gatos get completed the same day because we stock common parts that fail regularly. Capacitors, contactors, thermostats, and many electrical components are on our trucks. We can handle refrigerant issues on the spot since we carry that too.

Occasionally, you’ll have a less common part failure—a specific control board for an older model, a unique blower motor, or a specialized component. In those cases, we’ll let you know immediately and work to source the part as fast as possible, often next-day.

We’ll also tell you if there’s a temporary fix we can do to get you some cooling while we wait for the right part. Our goal is keeping you comfortable, even if the permanent solution takes an extra day. But again, most repairs happen during the first visit because we’ve been doing this since 1985 and know what breaks.

Yes. We work on all major residential AC brands—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, American Standard, and more. Los Gatos homes have a wide mix of systems, and we’ve been servicing them all for nearly 40 years.

Different brands have different quirks and common failure points. Our technicians know those differences, which speeds up diagnosis and repair. We’re not learning on your dime—we’ve seen your model before and know what typically goes wrong.

Whether you have a basic builder-grade unit or a high-end variable-speed system, we have the training and tools to fix it. We also maintain relationships with parts suppliers so we can get what we need quickly, even for older or discontinued models.

Turn your thermostat off or to “fan only” mode to prevent your system from trying to run and potentially causing more damage. If you smell burning, hear loud grinding, or see smoke, shut off power to the unit immediately at your breaker box.

Close blinds and curtains to block direct sunlight, especially on south and west-facing windows. Los Gatos afternoons can heat up a house fast. If you have ceiling fans, run them to keep air circulating—it won’t cool the air, but it helps with comfort.

Stay hydrated and move to the coolest room in your house, usually the lowest level away from direct sun. If you have vulnerable family members—elderly relatives, young children, or anyone with health conditions affected by heat—consider having them stay somewhere cooler until we get your AC running again. Heat isn’t just uncomfortable in Los Gatos; it can be dangerous.

Regular maintenance is the biggest factor. Most emergency breakdowns happen because something wore out gradually and finally failed—a situation that routine service would have caught early. Changing filters every 1-3 months, keeping your outdoor unit clear of debris, and scheduling annual tune-ups prevent most emergency calls.

Los Gatos homes with older systems need maintenance even more. If your AC is over 10 years old, it’s working harder to keep up and parts are wearing out. A technician can spot a capacitor that’s weakening or refrigerant that’s slowly leaking before they cause a complete breakdown.

Pay attention to warning signs: weak airflow, warm air from vents, strange noises, or your system running constantly without cooling your home. Those are problems developing, not problems that suddenly appeared. Catching them early means fixing them on your schedule instead of ours—and usually for less money than an emergency repair costs.
