Factors Affecting AC Repair Costs in Scottsdale

Knowing what influences the cost of AC repairs in Scottsdale can help you budget for those times when your air conditioning acts up. Several factors play a role in determining how much you might pay:

• Type of Replacement Parts: The price can change depending on whether you need small fixes or big replacements. Older or uncommon AC models might need parts that are pricier or harder to find, which can bump up your repair bill.
• Warranty Coverage: If your AC is still under warranty, you might not have to pay anything—or just a portion of the cost. This can significantly lower your out-of-pocket expenses.
• Technician’s Expertise: The skill level of the technician can also impact your costs. More experienced technicians might charge more, but they also tend to work faster and deliver better results, which means your AC gets fixed sooner and might even save you money in the long run.

What Are the Most Common AC Repairs?

Champion Air resolves hundreds of AC repairs every year. If something can break in an air conditioner, we’ve seen it, and we’ve fixed it!

Here are the most common repairs we come across while on the job:

• Refrigerant Leaks: When your AC isn’t cooling effectively or you notice ice buildup on the refrigerant lines, it could be due to a refrigerant leak. Repair costs range from $200 to $1,500 depending on the severity and amount of refrigerant needed, with harder-to-reach leaks generally being more expensive.
• Frozen Evaporator Coils: If your AC blows warm air or you see ice forming on the coils, frozen evaporator coils may be the culprit. Fixing this can range from a simple cleaning at $200 to a full coil replacement at $1,500, depending on the root cause.
• Broken Compressor: A broken compressor is one of the most expensive repairs, often causing the system to stop cooling or short cycle. Due to its importance in the AC’s functionality, costs for repair or replacement typically range between $1,200 and $2,800.
• Capacitor or Contactor Issues: If the unit doesn’t start or you hear clicking but no cooling occurs, a faulty capacitor or contactor may be to blame. These electrical components are relatively inexpensive to fix, with costs ranging from $100 to $400.
• Worn-Out Fan Motor: When the AC runs but isn’t blowing air properly, or there are strange noises from the outdoor unit, the fan motor may be wearing out. Replacing it generally costs between $300 and $700, depending on the complexity of the issue. 

Troubleshooting Common AC Issues

• Higher Energy Bills: Noticed your energy bills creeping up? This could mean your AC is working overtime due to a broken part. Start by checking your air filters, as clogged filters force your system to work harder. If the issue persists, it could be due to more serious problems like low refrigerant or a failing component, in which case it’s best to call Champion Air for a professional inspection.
• Odd Noises: Banging, clanking, or hissing sounds are not normal and often indicate mechanical issues or loose parts. For minor noises, checking for loose screws or debris around the unit might solve the problem. However, strange sounds could point to failing motors, compressors, or refrigerant leaks, and those will require a professional to address them.
• Uneven Cooling: If some rooms feel like an icebox while others are too warm, your AC might be struggling to distribute cool air evenly. This could be due to blocked vents, duct leaks, or an improperly sized system. Start by ensuring that all vents are open and unobstructed. If the problem persists, contact Champion Air to check for more complex issues such as ductwork or system imbalances.
• Frequent Cycling: An AC that constantly turns on and off might be struggling to maintain the set temperature. This issue, known as short cycling, can be caused by a dirty filter, thermostat issues, or an oversized system. Start by cleaning or replacing the air filter and checking your thermostat settings. If the issue continues, call Champion Air to ensure your system is properly calibrated and functioning efficiently.

Not All Heroes (Or Champions) Wear Capes

Back in September, we received a call from Phoenix resident McGregor E., whose AC went down at the worst possible time (just before Labor Day weekend!). The good news is Champion Air is here for our customers come rain, shine, or holidays. We sent out a licensed technician to resolve McGregor’s issue, and his AC was back up and running that very day.

Champion Air appreciates all of our customers and we are sincerely grateful for every review we receive from you!

“Our AC unit tripped the breaker and we came home late Friday night to a hot house with no power to the AC unit just before the long three-day weekend. Patrick H. came out within a couple of hours and was able to resolve the issues by replacing the contactor and giving the outside condenser coils a good cleaning. The unit is back up and we don’t have to rely on a portable unit thanks to Champion Air. Highly recommend their services.” – McGregor E.
