AC down in a heat wave? Call or text 780-964-9098 — 7 days a week, 8 AM to 8 PM. $195 diagnostic, written estimate first, all major brands.
An air conditioner that runs without cooling is usually telling you something specific, and the fix is often small — if it's caught early. A slow refrigerant leak that could have been a straightforward repair becomes a compressor replacement if the system runs that way all summer.
7 days a week, 8 AM to 8 PM, across Edmonton, St. Albert, Sturgeon County and the surrounding towns.

If the system has frozen over, shut it off at the thermostat and leave the fan running to thaw it before we arrive. It makes the diagnosis faster and keeps the visit shorter.
The most common summer failure by far. Capacitors give the compressor and fan the kick they need to start, and heat shortens their life. Symptom: a hum, no start, or the fan running while the compressor doesn't.
The relay that sends power to the compressor. Pitted contacts cause intermittent operation — the system works, then doesn't, then works again.
Low refrigerant isn't something a system "uses up" — it means there's a leak. Topping it up without finding the leak is throwing money away, so we locate it and give you the options honestly.
Caused by restricted airflow or low refrigerant. The ice is a symptom; the cause is what needs fixing.
The outdoor fan keeps the compressor from overheating. When it fails on a 30 °C day, the system shuts down on a high-pressure safety — which is exactly what should happen.
A clogged drain line backs water up into the pan and onto the floor. Preventable with an annual cleaning, and cheaper than the drywall repair.
A central AC in Alberta typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Under 10 years, repair almost always wins. Over 15 with a compressor or coil failure, the repair often approaches the cost of a new system — and a new Lennox unit comes with a 10-year limited parts and labour warranty, conditions applicable. Our prices are posted, so the comparison is easy to make.
If your system is older and runs R-22, parts and refrigerant are expensive and getting harder to source, which usually tips the decision toward replacement. Newer equipment uses different refrigerants, and manufacturers have been transitioning to lower-GWP options — we'll tell you exactly what your system uses and what the new one would use.
An annual spring tune-up catches a weak capacitor, a dirty condenser coil or a slow leak before the first heat wave. It's part of the VIP Program, with unlimited service calls and 15% off repairs for $275 a year.
The usual suspects are a failed capacitor, low refrigerant from a leak, a frozen or dirty evaporator coil, or a failed contactor. A proper diagnostic identifies which one before anything gets replaced.
Turn the system off and let it thaw, and check the air filter. Ice means restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Running a frozen system can damage the compressor, so shut it down and call us.
$195 plus GST for the diagnostic, with a written estimate before any repair begins. VIP members get unlimited service calls and 15% off repairs.
For a small repair like a capacitor or contactor, repairing usually makes sense. For a compressor or evaporator coil, the cost often approaches a new system — we'll show you both numbers before you decide.
Yes, all major residential brands. We specialize in Lennox as an Authorized Dealer.
Usually moisture sitting on the evaporator coil or in the drain pan, sometimes a clogged condensate line. It's worth cleaning properly — that smell is circulating through the whole house.
Often a failing capacitor or a compressor drawing too much current. Don't keep resetting it — repeated trips can damage the compressor and the breaker is warning you for a reason.
