FAQs
How quickly can you arrive for a same-day air-conditioning repair in Palmer?
Calls received before 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday are scheduled for a technician visit the very same day, usually within 2–4 hours. Because our dispatch center and parts warehouse are both located in the Mat-Su Valley, travel time to any address in Palmer, Fishhook, or even outer-area neighborhoods such as Lazy Mountain is short. After-hours or Sunday requests are handled as emergency service and may carry a small surcharge, but a tech is still dispatched immediately.
What kinds of air-conditioning systems do you repair?
Our EPA-certified technicians service virtually every residential and light-commercial cooling system found in Alaska: conventional split-system central air, ductless mini-splits, heat-pump air handlers, rooftop package units, and high-efficiency inverter systems. We work on all major brands—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Goodman, Rheem, and others—whether the unit is under manufacturer warranty or decades old.
Do you carry the parts needed to finish the repair on the first trip?
Yes. Each service van is stocked with more than 500 of the most commonly replaced components—capacitors, contactors, blower motors, evaporator sensors, fan belts, fuses, and refrigerant. For less-common OEM parts, we have same-day access to local suppliers in Wasilla and Anchorage, so most repairs are completed in a single visit. If a specialty part must be ordered, we will stabilize the system, schedule a follow-up at your convenience, and credit today’s diagnostic fee toward the final repair.
How much does a typical same-day AC repair cost in Palmer?
Diagnostic service is a flat $99, which includes travel, system inspection, and an upfront written quote. Common repairs such as capacitor or contactor replacement range from $150 to $300 parts and labor. Larger jobs—compressor change-outs, coil leaks, or blower motor replacements—may run $600 to $1,800 depending on system size and refrigerant type. You will never see surprise charges; all pricing is approved by you before any work begins, and we accept major credit cards, checks, or 12-month no-interest financing on repairs over $500.
Can you service or repair my air conditioner during the winter months?
Absolutely. Many Palmer homeowners rely on heat-pump systems that run year-round, so we perform heating-mode diagnostics, defrost board repairs, and refrigerant testing even when outdoor temperatures drop well below freezing. For traditional AC units that are shut down for winter, we can still replace electrical components, repair leaks, or perform preseason tune-ups in a heated garage. Just let our dispatcher know your system’s current condition so the technician can bring the proper equipment.
What can I do to prevent another emergency breakdown?
1) Replace or wash the return-air filter every 30–60 days. 2) Keep the outdoor condenser coil clear of grass, leaves, and snow piles to maintain airflow. 3) Schedule a professional tune-up each spring; we check refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, clean coils, and inspect the blower assembly. 4) Install a surge protector to guard the control board against Palmer’s occasional power fluctuations. 5) Consider enrolling in our Comfort Club maintenance plan, which provides two precision inspections per year, priority same-day service, and a 15 % discount on all repairs.
