The short answer
$150–$650
Most common central AC repairs land in this range. Big-ticket parts (compressor, evaporator coil) run higher — and we tell you before touching anything.
Typical industry ranges for Western Washington — not a quote. Your exact price comes upfront, before any work starts, and you approve it first.
What moves the price
Which part failed
A $15 capacitor and a $1,200 compressor produce the same symptom: no cold air. Diagnosis first, then an exact price.
Refrigerant type
Modern R-410A is routine. Old R-22 systems (pre-2010) cost far more to top up — usually a replace-vs-repair conversation.
Access and condition
A clean, reachable unit is a faster job than a coil buried behind a furnace in a crawlspace.
System age
Parts for 15+ year systems are scarcer and pricier — sometimes the honest answer is to stop feeding an old unit.

Quick answers
Why is the range so wide?
Because "AC repair" covers everything from a 20-minute capacitor swap to sealed-system refrigerant work. That’s why we diagnose first and hand you an exact price to approve — the range disappears before the work begins.
Should I repair or replace?
A useful rule: if the repair costs more than $50 × the system’s age in years, replacement deserves a look. A 14-year-old AC needing a $900 repair is a conversation, not an automatic fix.
How do I know the price is fair?
You see the exact price before any work, approve it first, and it’s backed by our fixed-right guarantee. No hourly meter running, no surprise line items.
