Ottawa’s Trusted & Reliable Air Conditioning Repair

The cost of AC repair done by a licensed professional will typically range anywhere from $150 – $500. Keep in mind that this average cost can differ significantly based on the amount of labour required, the warranty status, and what type of AC unit you’re working with. An air conditioning technician might also charge hourly, which will range between $75 – $150 an hour for the labour.

Some common air conditioning issues that require the expertise of an AC technician include:

• Condensate Back-Ups
• Refrigerant Leak
• Dirty Evaporator
• Low Air-Flow
• Inaccurate Thermostat Readings

Even if you’re a regular handyman and know your way around some tools, we strongly advise leaving AC repair jobs to the professionals. This will help prevent any potential accidents and further damage to your air conditioning systems. Contact us for your AC repair needs in Ottawa!

When it comes to A/C troubleshooting, the source(s) of trouble for your air conditioning system could be one or more of a number of factors. For starters, check your thermostat; It could be possible that the air conditioner itself is working fine, but isn’t getting the right commands from the thermostat, which could either have low/dead batteries, not properly programmed or experiencing other issues. There are also disconnect switches for your A/C, both inside and outside, so make sure these are in the ‘ON’ position. The A/C could have overloaded or triggered the electrical system, resulting in a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse or blown transformer. Or you may need to change your filter, clean your A/C coils, or repair the starting components or blower. The best way to find out is to contact Advanced HVAC for air conditioner repair in Ottawa. One of our friendly air conditioning repair techs will be onsite shortly and can diagnose & resolves virtually any A/C issue in a short period of time.

This is a fairly common air conditioning repair question that we get at Advanced HVAC in Ottawa. We’d be happy to send one of our A/C techs out to take a look. But before that, there are a few things that you can check on your own for A/C troubleshooting steps. Start at the thermostat, and make sure it’s on and running properly (batteries?). Check the fuse panel and breakers. If the air conditioner unit is running and the blower is on, the aforementioned issues probably can be ruled out. If you have cool air flowing out from the registers in the basement, for example, and the A/C unit is on, the source of your cold air is fine; from there it’s a matter of air flow. You may have blocked or leaking ductwork somewhere along the line. Make sure vents are open on the main floor as well as the upper floor(s); also, be sure that you haven’t left a window or door open, which could be letting in warm & humid air. If you can trace the source to one room or one section of the house that is warm while the rest is cool, that’s probably where you have ducts that are blocked or leaking air. We can inspect your ducts and find the issue(s). Contact Advanced HVAC for prompt air conditioning & HVAC repair service in Ottawa.

This is a question well worth asking when your current air conditioner unit is at or nearing the end of its A/C product life cycle. Typically, that’s about 10-15 years. If you have a relatively new air conditioner, you’ll want to (a) perform routine and proactive A/C maintenance to get the most out of it, and (b) perform air conditioner repair as needed, since the expected lifetime most likely makes buying a new air conditioner unnecessary (our friendly & experienced Advanced HVAC tech will let you know more about this). If you own an older air conditioner unit, it’s worth calculating how many cooling seasons you’ll get out of it by repairing it now (or again) versus buying a new air conditioner unit. We’ll do our best to keep your air conditioner running at its peak and save you money wherever possible. Should it be in your best interest to skip A/C repairs this time and buy a new air conditioner instead, we’ll make that recommendation. At Advanced HVAC in Ottawa, our goal is to be your long-term partner in HVAC service.
