Common AC Problems We Repair
We handle all types of air conditioning repair issues, including:
AC blowing warm or room-temperature air
Weak or no airflow from vents
AC won't turn on or keeps tripping the breaker
System runs constantly but never cools enough
Frozen indoor coil or ice on refrigerant lines
Water leaking from the air handler or ceiling
Strange noises - grinding, screeching, rattling, buzzing
Bad smells - musty, burning, or electrical odors
Short cycling - AC turns on and off every few minutes

Once we find the issue, we explain it in plain language, show you what we found if possible, and present repair options.

- • A clear explanation of what failed and why
- • Recommended repair options and any alternatives
- • Upfront pricing - no hidden fees or surprise add-ons

- • Perform the AC repair according to manufacturer and code requirements
- • Replace faulty parts with quality components

We'll also point out any maintenance issues that could cause problems later, such as dirty filters, blocked returns, or neglected coils.
Signs You Need AC Repair (Don't Ignore These)
Catching problems early can save you from bigger repairs and downtime during a heat wave. Call Bay Area Climate Control if you notice:
Warm air from vents even when the thermostat is set to cool
Uneven temperatures - some rooms freezing, others hot
Unusual sounds - banging, squealing, buzzing, or clicking
Higher electricity bills without changing your usage
AC running nonstop or short cycling
Water around the indoor unit or ceiling stains near vents
Bad smells when the system first turns on
If something feels 'off' with your AC
If something feels "off" with your AC, it's better to schedule a service call now rather than wait for a complete breakdown.

The best AC repair is the one you never need. Regular AC maintenance helps:
Reduce surprise breakdowns
Improve comfort and airflow
Lower energy usage and utility bills
Extend the life of your equipment
During a Maintenance Visit, We Typically:
- • Check and replace/clean air filters (or show you how)

- • Clean or rinse accessible coils where appropriate
- • Check refrigerant pressures and overall system performance
- • Clear the condensate drain if needed
- • Verify thermostat operation and temperature split
Many customers schedule annual AC tune-ups in spring to make sure their system is ready before the hottest days arrive. Ask about adding routine maintenance when you call: (510) 391-5597. Or check out our maintenance plans.
Repair vs. Replace - What's the Right Choice?
We Recommend Repair If:
- Your system is relatively new (under 10 years)
- The AC is generally in good shape
- The repair cost is reasonable relative to replacement
- It's a minor or medium-sized failure
Replacement May Be Wiser If:
- Your AC is 12+ years old
- It's a major component failure (compressor, coil)
- You've had multiple repairs in the past couple of years
- The system uses R-22 refrigerant (Freon)
We'll never push you toward an unnecessary AC replacement. If a repair makes sense, we'll tell you — and if replacement is wiser, we'll show you exactly why. Either way, you'll have all the information you need to make the right call. Learn more about AC installation and replacement.
