Stop Sweating AC Repairs and Know The Facts

There are various signs to know if you do actually need an AC repair or if other issues are raising the temps of your home.

  • AC Unit Is Running Constantly – Why? – Usually a symptom of dirty filters, clogged coils, or low refrigerant.
  • AC Is Blowing Hot Air Not Cold Air – The frequent cause of hot air blowing is an electrical or coolant issue.
  • Water or Ice Around AC Unit – Another sign of clogs, poor airflow, or misalignment.
  • Noises or Smells Coming From My AC Unit – If your AC unit is making noise or producing smells, these are signs of emergency repairs. From loose parts and blown motors to mold living in your unit.

How Much Should AC Repairs Cost?

We all have been there. You set up an appointment expecting one number, then all of a sudden you get quoted something vastly different. At Bob Boldt HVAC, we believe in honest and upfront communication.

Which means, while we would love to give you an upfront cost — every AC unit and every AC repair is different.

  • Basic AC Repairs - from running diagnostics to cleaning out your filter, these types of repairs can run you around $350.
  • Malfunctions - When your electrical or wiring gets crossed, leaks form or blockages stop your unit in its tracks, you can expect to pay between $700-$3,500 to remedy these malfunctions.
