Erlanger, KY Heating and Air Conditioning

The average cost to repair an air conditioner is $336. The usual range is $163-$520, with repairs costing as much as $1100 at the high end.

Certain sorts of repairs will also be more expensive than average. Replacing a house air compressor, for example, can cost between $1350 and $1800, while replacing an evaporator coil can cost between $650 and $1200. When faced with a high AC repair bill, consider the age of the unit and its repair history — if it’s 10 years or older and has needed frequent repair, it may be time to replace it.

Obtain a Few Estimates: Even if you don't get a second estimate, it never hurts to inform the firm you're dealing with that you're getting several estimates. This alone will assist in ensuring that your pricing is reasonable. 

Understanding What Is a Reasonable Price: Knowing what a reasonable price is for your HVAC replacement is the first step in negotiating. Every contractor will need to make a profit, but they should never be overcharging in order to do so.

Get Ready to Negotiate: When you've defined your project and made a list of exactly what you want, you're ready to bargain. When each firm understands exactly what you're searching for, you'll be able to compare apples to apples.

A blocked or clogged condenser coil might be the cause of your air conditioner working but not decreasing temperatures inside. The condenser fan pulls air into the outside unit through the condenser coil to extract heat energy from your house while it's working properly. Dirt, grass and other flying debris can clog the coil by accumulating between the fins. A dirty coil can result in lower energy efficiency, a shortage of cold air at the registers, or, in the worst-case scenario, a full system shutdown or compressor failure. Seasonal maintenance is the surest way to prevent this problem, as your maintenance visit will include a cleaning of the unit.
