What to expect
Central air conditioning repair handles capacitor failures, low refrigerant, fan motor issues, frozen coils, and condensate drain clogs. Most repairs run $200-$900 on systems under 12 years old. Refrigerant top-offs without a leak inspection are a red flag — leaks must be fixed, not refilled.
Massachusetts cooling load is moderate (700-1,000 CDD) with coastal humidity. Mini-split adoption is high in older un-ducted housing.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an AC repair typically cost?
Common repairs: capacitor $150-$300, fan motor $300-$700, refrigerant leak repair $400-$1,500 depending on access. Service call fees ($75-$150) are usually waived if you proceed with the repair.
Should I repair or replace an aging AC?
Multiply the unit's age by the repair cost. Over $5,000? Replace. Also replace any unit on R-22 refrigerant — the EPA phase-out makes repairs prohibitively expensive.
Why is my AC freezing up?
Low refrigerant (a leak), dirty filter restricting airflow, failing blower motor, or a stuck blower wheel. Turn the system off and let it thaw before a technician arrives — they can't diagnose an iced-up coil.
