AC Repair in Boise, ID

When it's 101° and the high-desert sun is beating on your roof, a dead AC can't wait. We run same-day no-cool calls all summer.

Heating may be in our name, but we keep Boise cool too. Treasure Valley summers are brutal on air conditioners — weeks above 95°, fine dust clogging condenser coils, cottonwood fluff in June, and wildfire smoke loading filters by August. Capacitors cook on sun-baked pads, and refrigerant leaks show up right when the system is working its hardest.

Same flat-rate, upfront approach as our heating work: full diagnostic first, written price before we start, and trucks stocked with the capacitors, contactors, and fan motors that fix most calls in a single visit. If your system uses R-22 or is on its last legs, we'll give you an honest repair-versus-replace comparison with real numbers.

What We See Most in Boise

  • AC running but blowing warm air
  • Frozen refrigerant lines or iced-over coil
  • System short-cycling or tripping the breaker
  • Capacitor failure — outdoor fan not spinning
  • Refrigerant leak (hissing, oily residue, declining performance)
  • Water leaking around the indoor unit
  • Outdoor unit humming but not starting
  • Weak airflow from vents during smoke season (filter check first)

Typical AC Repair Costs in Boise

ServiceTypical Boise Price
Diagnostic visit (waived with repair)$79 – $129
Capacitor replacement$150 – $350
Contactor / hard start kit$150 – $400
Condenser fan motor$350 – $700
Refrigerant leak repair + recharge$300 – $1,500
Compressor replacement$1,200 – $2,500

If your system still runs R-22, recharging it often costs more than the repair is worth — we'll show you the math on replacement before you spend it.

FAQ

AC Repair Questions

Can you really get here same-day in summer?

Most no-cool calls inside the Valley get a same-day or next-morning slot, even in July. Mornings fill fastest during heat waves, so call as early as you can.

My AC is frozen — what should I do?

Turn it off at the thermostat (fan can stay ON to help thaw) and call. Running a frozen system can kill the compressor. Common causes are a dirty filter, low refrigerant, or a failing blower — all fixable, but the ice has to melt first.

Is it worth repairing a 12-year-old AC?

Often, yes, if it's a capacitor, contactor, or fan motor — those are cheap fixes. If it's the compressor or an R-22 refrigerant issue, replacement usually pencils out better. We'll quote both honestly.

Why is my electric bill so high every August?

Usually a combination of a struggling system (dirty coils, low refrigerant, aging compressor) and smoke-season filters choking airflow. A tune-up typically cuts summer cooling costs 10–15%.

Do you install new AC systems too?

Yes — full AC and heat pump replacements with proper sizing, same as our furnace installs. Free in-home estimates with written, itemized pricing.
