AC repair in Iowa City, Iowa

Breaker first, filter second. A clogged filter can freeze the indoor coil solid - if you see ice, turn the system off and let it thaw before anything else. Then call and we'll tell you what to look at next.

If the fix is small and the unit has life left, repair it. If repairs are stacking up or the compressor is gone, replacement usually wins. We price both paths in writing and tell you which one we'd pick.

Yes. We find the leak, show you where it is, and price the repair before any refill. Refrigerant work is EPA-regulated, so we never just top off a system and send you on your way. A unit low on refrigerant has a leak, and chasing the leak is the honest fix.
