Yes! Bay Area Climate Control repairs all AC makes and models serving San Jose homes, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, Goodman, Amana, York, and many others.

We stock common parts for all major manufacturers and can source specialty components for older or less common systems serving San Jose residents.

The decision to repair or replace depends on your AC system's age, repair cost, and efficiency. Bay Area Climate Control follows the "$5,000 rule" for San Jose customers: multiply the repair cost by your system's age. If the total exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually smarter financially. For example, a $500 repair on a 12-year-old system = $6,000, suggesting replacement makes more sense. Systems over 12-15 years old with major component failures (compressor, coil) are often better replaced with high-efficiency equipment. Our San Jose technicians provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation and budget.

Common AC problems in San Jose include refrigerant leaks, frozen evaporator coils, failed capacitors, dirty condenser coils, thermostat malfunctions, and blower motor failures.
