"As a homeowner in Clovis, CA, I couldn’t be happier with the AC service repair I received from Roo’s Heating and Air Conditioning. From the moment I called, I felt like I was in good hands — they scheduled me quickly, showed up on time, and took the time to explain exactly what was wrong with my AC unit. The technician was friendly, professional, and worked efficiently to get my system up and running again, which made a huge difference in this Clovis heat! I really appreciated their honesty and fair pricing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again or recommend them to friends needing air conditioning repair or HVAC services."

"Sam is amazing!!! He did an awesome job. He was on time and he explained everything he was doing. He works evenings so I didn't have to take time off of work to get my AC fixed. He had my AC working in no time. The Air Doctor Heating and Air is highly recommended and I will be calling Sam with all my HVAC needs."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

HVAC companies may charge an hourly rate or a flat fee. Hourly rates typically range from $100 to $250 per hour, with an average around $175. Some contractors charge a flat fee for specific services, such as an inspection, which can cost between $150 and $500. The total cost of an HVAC service is influenced by several factors, including: the urgency of the service (emergency repairs after hours or on holidays cost more), the time of year, the type, size, and brand of your HVAC system, the specific repair needed, and whether you have a service contract.

The average life span of an HVAC system is 15 to 20 years. Even if your old air conditioner is still functional, it isn't as energy-efficient as a newer system (especially one with an Energy Star designation). Older HVAC systems aren't as efficient, and the 10-year mark is when you should start making full system replacement plans. Twenty years in, that plan should be well underway rather than waiting for the unit to die.

Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between $75 and $150, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around $150. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.

Not if you have a standard unit. Because portable AC units actually work to dehumidify the room, you’ll likely need to drain the unit from time to time—but you won’t have to put water into it. There is, however, another type of air conditioner called a swamp cooler that requires water to operate. If you have a swamp cooler, you may need to fill a reservoir with water and potentially ice. But a swamp cooler is different from a standard portable AC unit.

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.
