What we fix in Covington
Running but not cooling
Warm air on a hot day is almost always one of four things, and most of them are a one-visit fix.
Dead silent outside
A condenser that will not start is usually a capacitor or contactor — the cheap end of the range.
Iced up in July
Ice in summer means starved airflow or a refrigerant leak. Running it frozen is what turns a small repair into a compressor.
Same-day when it matters

We know Covington
Most of Covington went up in the 1990s and 2000s, late enough that a good share of homes were built cooling-ready or had AC added early — which puts a lot of condensers around Timberlane, Jenkins Creek and the Wax Road corridor at fifteen to twenty-five years old now. That is capacitor, contactor and fan motor territory. The other wave here is retrofit: plenty of neighbours added cooling after the recent record heat, and those younger systems mostly need charge and airflow attention rather than parts.
What this usually costs
Most AC repairs land in the typical industry range of $150–$650 — a capacitor or contactor at the low end, a refrigerant leak repair or compressor work at the high end. Your exact price comes upfront and you approve it before any work. See the full breakdown on our AC repair costs page.

Before you call (5 minutes, free)
- 1
Set the thermostat properly. COOL mode, setpoint several degrees below the room, fan on AUTO. Fan on ON alone will blow room-temperature air and feel broken.
- 2
Replace the filter. A packed filter is the single most common cause of weak cooling and a frozen coil. It is a five-minute check.
- 3
Look at the outdoor unit. It should be running and blowing air upward. Humming with a still fan means switch it off — that state damages compressors.
- 4
Check the breakers. There are usually two. Reset once after a cooldown; if it trips again, leave it off and book it.
No change? Then it is a technician job, and the sooner it is booked the sooner the house is comfortable again. Book the visit →
Stop and book a pro if…
- The outdoor unit hums but the fan will not turn — switch it off now.
- Ice on the refrigerant lines or the indoor coil.
- A hissing sound or a faint sweet chemical smell — that is refrigerant.
- The breaker has tripped more than once.
