AC Repair Frequently Asked Questions

How much does AC repair typically cost?

AC repair costs vary depending on the specific problem you’re facing and the parts needed. Simple fixes like thermostat issues may cost less, while compressor repairs are more expensive. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work so you know exactly what to expect.

How long do AC repairs usually take?

Most common AC repairs take between one and three hours to complete. More complex issues involving multiple components or hard-to-access parts may require additional time. Our technicians work efficiently to restore your cooling as quickly as possible.

Should I repair or replace my old AC unit?

If your AC is over 10 years old and the repair costs exceed half the replacement cost, upgrading makes financial sense. Newer systems offer better efficiency and reliability. We'll assess your situation and provide honest recommendations.

How often should I have my heating & cooling systems serviced?

We recommend having your heating system inspected and serviced before the fall & winter months, and your home’s cooling system serviced in the spring. A maintenance call is crucial to making sure your HVAC system runs efficiently and maintains its warranty. During this call, our HVAC technicians will clean components, replace filters, and inspect the system for any wear or issues. Members of our HAPP annual maintenance program enjoy discounts, benefits, and priority scheduling for all service calls.

What annual maintenance does my AC need?

Annual AC maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting for potential issues. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently throughout the summer.

Yes, we provide emergency AC repair services throughout Mechanicsburg and Lancaster. When your system fails during extreme heat, our technicians respond quickly to restore your AC system. Contact Handyside Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical today for your urgent repair needs.
