We've been keeping Sacramento cool since before most of these AC companies existed.Forty-plus years of 105-degree days. Forty-plus years of emergency calls at 9pm. Forty-plus years of diagnosing systems that "the last guy couldn't figure out."What we do:AC Repair: System not cooling, making weird noises, running constantly, freezing up—we diagnose it and fix it. Same-day service available. No overtime charges, ever.AC Installation: New construction, system replacement, swamp cooler conversions. We size it right, install it right, and handle all the permits.Maintenance: The stuff that keeps your system running efficiently and catches problems before they become emergencies.What makes us different:We don't send sales guys. We send technicians. The person who shows up can actually diagnose your system and fix it—not just tell you it needs to be replaced.Flat-rate pricing means you know the cost before we start. No "well, it took longer than expected" billing.No overtime charges. Saturday afternoon, Sunday night, Fourth of July—same rate. Your emergency isn't our opportunity to pad the bill.We've seen every system Sacramento has: old R-22 units, new high-efficiency equipment, heat pumps, mini splits, package units, everything. If it makes cold air, we work on it.

40+ Years in Sacramento

We've seen every system, every problem, every weird setup this area has.

Techs, Not Salespeople

The person who shows up can actually fix your system.

How often should I replace my AC filter?

Standard 1-inch filters should be replaced every 30-90 days depending on usage, pets, and allergies. If you have pets or allergies, lean toward monthly. A clogged filter makes your system work harder and can cause it to freeze up.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

Common causes include low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor, a frozen evaporator coil, or a faulty compressor. Our diagnostic identifies the exact issue so you're not paying for guesswork.

How long should an AC unit last?

In Sacramento's climate, expect 12-15 years from a well-maintained AC. Some last 20+ years, but efficiency drops significantly after 15. If yours is 10+ years old and needing repairs, factor replacement into your planning.

What temperature should I set my AC to in summer?

The Department of Energy recommends 78°F when you're home. But comfort is personal—set it where you're comfortable. The bigger energy waste is dramatic swings. Don't crank it to 65° when you get home; let a programmable thermostat bring it down gradually.

Why does my AC freeze up?

Restricted airflow (dirty filter, blocked vents) or low refrigerant are the usual culprits. The evaporator coil gets too cold and ice forms. Turn off the AC, let it thaw completely, replace the filter, and try again. If it freezes again, you likely have a refrigerant leak—call us.

How do I know if my AC is the right size?

Signs of an undersized unit: runs constantly but never reaches set temperature. Signs of oversized unit: short cycles (turns on and off frequently), humidity problems, uneven temperatures. Proper sizing requires a load calculation, not just matching what was there before.
