When you call Orozco HVAC Solutions for an air conditioning repair, here is what you can expect:
Our technician arrives at your home or business and performs a complete diagnostic of your air conditioning system. This includes checking refrigerant pressure, electrical components, the thermostat, air filter, evaporator coil, condenser coil, blower motor, and all safety controls. We do not guess β we diagnose.
Once we have identified the problem, we provide you with a written estimate for the repair. We explain what is wrong, what it will cost to fix it, and whether the repair makes economic sense given the age and condition of your equipment. We never proceed with repairs without your approval.
With your approval, we complete the repair using quality parts. Most standard repairs β capacitor replacement, refrigerant recharge, contactor replacement, drain line clearing, thermostat replacement β can be completed the same day. For major component failures such as compressor or coil replacement, we may need to order parts.
After completing the repair, we run the system through a full operational test, verify correct temperatures, check refrigerant pressures, and confirm all safety controls are functioning properly before we leave.
Regular maintenance is the single most effective way to prevent air conditioning breakdowns and extend the life of your equipment. The following are practical maintenance steps every homeowner should follow:
