AC Repair
We diagnose and repair air conditioning problems on central AC systems, heat pumps, and older window or ductless units. You get a written quote before any work starts, and we explain what we found in plain terms.
Free AC Inspection and Estimate
Before we quote anything, we inspect the full system. That includes the coils, blower, refrigerant charge, electrical components, and thermostat. No guessing, no surprise charges.
Refrigerant Recharge and Leak Repair
A low refrigerant charge almost always means there is a leak somewhere. We find the leak first, fix it, and then recharge the system. Just adding refrigerant without fixing the leak is a waste of your money.
Capacitor, Contactor, and Electrical Component Replacement
Capacitors and contactors wear out and fail, especially after a few hard South Dakota summers. These are common fixes that get your system running again quickly without replacing the whole unit.
Pricing Factors
What Affects the Cost
Type and Severity of the Failure
A worn capacitor is a quick fix with an inexpensive part. A refrigerant leak that has damaged the compressor or coil is a much bigger job. What broke and how badly it broke drives most of the cost.
Age and Brand of the Equipment
Parts for older or discontinued equipment can be harder to find and cost more. Some brands have parts that are widely available. Others, especially older units common in Sioux Falls homes built before 1990, may need parts sourced from specialty suppliers.
System Size and Configuration
A larger system that cools a 2,500 square foot home uses bigger components than one in a small starter home. Bigger parts cost more. Systems with multiple zones or add-on equipment are more complex to work on.
Access to the Equipment
Units installed in tight utility closets, finished basements, or crawl spaces take more time to work on than units in an open mechanical room. Time is part of the labor cost.
Refrigerant Type
Older systems use R-22 refrigerant, which has not been manufactured in the United States since 2020 and is now expensive. Newer systems use R-410A, which is more available. If your system runs on R-22, that alone affects the cost of a refrigerant-related repair.
