Most AC repairs run $189 to $1,200 depending on the part and system age. SPS Pro Services diagnoses the issue first, gives you a written estimate, and only repairs what's actually broken. We cover King and Snohomish counties, from older Seattle bungalows to newer builds in Lake Stevens and Bothell.

AC repair covers diagnosing why your system isn't cooling, cycling on and off, or making noise, then fixing the actual cause, whether that's a refrigerant leak, failed capacitor, blower motor issue, or clogged condensate line. Homeowners typically call when the house won't cool down during a summer heat spell, the system trips a breaker, or a unit installed in the last 10 to 15 years starts underperforming.

How a ac repair visit works
1
Phone or online request
Describe the symptom and we schedule a diagnostic visit, usually within the same week.
2
On-site diagnosis
A technician checks refrigerant charge, electrical components, airflow, and the thermostat to find the actual cause.
3
Written estimate
You get a clear price before any repair work starts, based on the part needed and labor involved.
4
Repair
Most repairs are completed same-day once you approve the estimate, using parts compatible with your system's brand and age.
5
System check
We test cooling output and cycle the system to confirm the fix holds before we leave.
Why quotes range from $189 to $1,200
These factors decide where your job lands in the range — and we walk you through each one on the written quote.
- Age and brand of the outdoor condenser unit, since parts for units over 15 years old can cost more or require a compatible substitute
- Type of repair needed, from a $189 capacitor swap to a $1,200 compressor or coil replacement
- Access to the unit, especially in older Seattle homes with tight side-yard installs or rooftop units
- Refrigerant type, since older R-22 systems cost more to service than newer R-410A systems

Straight answers
AC Repair questions we hear most
How fast can someone come out for AC repair?
Most requests get a same-week appointment, and often sooner during summer when call volume is lower than peak heating season. Call (206) 427-8907 to check current availability for your area.
Do you work on all AC brands?
Yes, our technicians repair most residential brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman, common across King and Snohomish county homes built from the 1970s through today.
Why does my AC work fine some days and not others?
This often points to a failing capacitor or a refrigerant leak that gets worse with heat and humidity. A diagnostic visit identifies the pattern and pinpoints which component is intermittently failing.
Is it worth repairing an older AC unit?
If the unit is under 12 years old and the repair is under $500, repair usually makes sense. Beyond that, we'll walk you through repair versus replacement costs so you can decide based on your specific system.
