Your AC goes out at the worst possible time. It’s 92 degrees outside, your home is heating up fast, and you’re trying to figure out who to call that won’t take three days to show up or hit you with hidden fees.

All Fresh Temp is a family-owned company serving Palo Alto, CA and the surrounding Peninsula. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when it matters and doing the work right the first time.
Palo Alto’s Mediterranean climate means mild winters and warm, dry summers—and when your AC fails during a heat spike, it’s not just uncomfortable. In a city where homes average over $3 million, you’re protecting a serious investment. You need someone who understands that and treats your property accordingly.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. Our technicians explain what they’re doing and why, so you’re never left guessing. And because we’re family-owned, we care about the reputation we leave behind in every home we service.
You call us, and we dispatch a technician as fast as possible—often the same day. When we arrive, we run a full diagnostic using professional-grade tools that pinpoint the issue, whether it’s a failed capacitor, refrigerant leak, compressor problem, or something else entirely.
Once we know what’s wrong, we explain it in plain terms. No jargon. No pressure. Just a clear breakdown of what failed, what it takes to fix it, and what it costs. You get an upfront estimate before we start any work.
If you approve, we make the repair using quality parts designed for your specific AC model. After the fix, we test the system to confirm it’s cooling properly and running efficiently. Then we walk you through what we did and answer any questions you have. The whole process is built around getting your system back online fast while keeping you informed every step of the way.

Every emergency AC unit repair in Palo Alto, CA starts with a complete system diagnostic. We’re not guessing—we’re using calibrated tools to measure voltage, refrigerant levels, airflow, and component performance. That’s how we find the real problem, not just the symptom.
You get a detailed explanation of what’s wrong and a clear, upfront cost estimate before any repair work begins. No hidden fees. No surprise charges after the fact. If your system needs a part, we use quality components built to handle Palo Alto’s climate and usage patterns.
Palo Alto is expected to see a 100% increase in days over 94°F in the next 30 years, and 94% of homes already face a Moderate Heat Factor. That means your AC isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. We treat it that way. After the repair, we test everything to make sure your system is cooling efficiently and reliably. And if you have questions about maintenance, efficiency, or how to avoid future breakdowns, we’ll walk you through it. You’re not just getting a fix. You’re getting clarity.
We dispatch technicians as quickly as possible, and in most cases, we can get to your Palo Alto property the same day you call. Response time depends on our current service load and your location, but emergency calls get priority.
When your AC goes out during a heat wave or in the middle of summer, waiting isn’t an option. We understand that. Our goal is to get someone to your door within a few hours whenever possible, diagnose the issue fast, and get your system running again before your home becomes unbearable.
If same-day isn’t possible, we’ll give you an honest timeframe and do everything we can to get you scheduled as early as the next available slot. We don’t leave you guessing.
Cost depends entirely on what’s wrong with your system. A failed capacitor or contactor might run a few hundred dollars. A refrigerant leak, compressor failure, or blower motor replacement will cost more—sometimes significantly more.
That’s why we always start with a diagnostic. We’re not going to quote you a price over the phone without knowing what we’re dealing with. Once we’ve tested your system and identified the problem, we give you a clear, upfront estimate that includes parts and labor. No surprises. No “we’ll figure it out later” pricing.
Emergency service does sometimes come with a premium compared to scheduled maintenance, but we’re transparent about that from the start. You’ll know what you’re paying and why before we do any work. And because we use quality parts and stand behind our repairs, you’re not paying twice for the same fix.
We offer 24-hour emergency service because AC failures don’t wait for business hours. Your system can quit at 2 a.m. or on a Sunday, and when it does, you need help right away—not Monday morning.
Our emergency line is available around the clock. When you call, you’re reaching someone who can dispatch a technician, not an answering service that takes a message. We prioritize emergency calls and get someone out as fast as we can, even during nights, weekends, and holidays.
Keep in mind that after-hours and weekend service may come with different pricing than standard business hours, but we’ll always be upfront about that when you call. What matters most is that you’re not stuck waiting in an overheated home because your AC picked the worst time to fail.
Most emergency AC failures come down to a handful of issues. Capacitors and contactors wear out over time and can fail suddenly, especially during high-demand periods when your system is running constantly. Refrigerant leaks cause your AC to lose cooling power gradually or all at once, depending on the size of the leak.
Compressor failures are less common but more expensive—they usually happen in older systems or units that haven’t been maintained regularly. Blower motor issues, clogged condensate drains, and frozen evaporator coils also cause breakdowns, particularly in systems that are overworked or neglected.
Palo Alto’s climate is relatively mild, but summer heat still puts stress on your AC. And because 94% of homes here face a Moderate Heat Factor, your system is doing more work than you might realize. Regular maintenance catches most of these problems before they become emergencies, but when something does fail, we’re ready to handle it fast.
Yes. Every time. We don’t start work until you understand what’s broken, why it failed, and what it takes to fix it. That’s not just good service—it’s how we operate.
After we run the diagnostic, we’ll walk you through what we found in plain language. No technical jargon unless you want it. We’ll show you the failed part if possible, explain how it affects your system, and lay out your options. If there’s more than one way to handle the repair, we’ll explain the pros and cons of each.
Then we give you a clear cost estimate. You decide whether to move forward. There’s no pressure, no bait-and-switch, and no work done without your approval. We’re here to fix your AC, not sell you something you don’t need. Transparency isn’t a marketing line for us—it’s how we’ve built our reputation in Palo Alto.
Absolutely. Most major AC failures start as small problems that get ignored or go unnoticed. A refrigerant leak that’s not addressed forces your compressor to work harder, which shortens its lifespan and can lead to a full system failure. A failing capacitor stresses your blower motor and compressor, causing more damage the longer it runs.
When you call for emergency AC repair in Palo Alto, CA, you’re not just fixing the immediate problem—you’re often preventing a much more expensive failure later. We catch those secondary issues during our diagnostic and let you know what’s at risk if they’re not addressed.
Palo Alto homes are high-value investments, and your HVAC system is a major part of that. Addressing problems early keeps your system running efficiently, extends its lifespan, and saves you money in the long run. Emergency repairs aren’t just about comfort—they’re about protecting your equipment and avoiding the kind of catastrophic breakdowns that cost thousands to fix.
