A system running but not cooling almost always comes down to charge, airflow, or a failing component — we test all three.
A tech who explains superheat and subcooling readings instead of just saying 'it's low on freon'.
If you're dealing with warm air blowing from the vents, ice forming on the copper line, or a condenser fan that's stopped spinning outside, you already know a system that's technically running but not actually cooling the house is one of the most misdiagnosed HVAC complaints there is.

Waiting rarely saves money and often turns a same-day repair into a longer, more involved job.
AAA Pro HVAC built its AC repair process around one idea: diagnose first, quote honestly, fix it right.
We're licensed, insured, and staffed with techs who've spent years specifically on AC repair, not general handyman work with an HVAC certificate bolted on.

Every tech carries EPA Section 608 certification, required for legally handling refrigerant.
Trucks stocked and staged across Cotati, CA mean shorter windows than a call-center dispatch model.
Diagnostic first, quote second, work third — that order never changes.
We check superheat and subcooling against manufacturer spec before touching the refrigerant charge.
From the first symptom to the final fix, these are the specific AC repair services our Cotati-area crews are equipped for.
Low charge is a symptom, not a diagnosis — we find the leak with electronic detection and UV dye before recharging. This is one of the most requested AC repair calls we get across Cotati, CA.
We test motor amperage against rated draw before replacing. This is one of the most requested AC repair calls we get across Cotati, CA.
We check for coil frost, which usually points to airflow or charge issues upstream. This is one of the most requested AC repair calls we get across Cotati, CA.
Hard-starting, humming-but-not-spinning, or tripped breaker symptoms get tested with a start capacitor check before any compressor is condemned. Techs handling compressor diagnostics carry the specific parts and tools this job calls for, not a generic kit.
We verify the low-voltage circuit before assuming the outdoor unit is at fault. This is one of the most requested AC repair calls we get across Cotati, CA.
Ductless systems fail differently than central air — we service indoor head units, line sets, and outdoor condensers. Techs handling ductless mini-split diagnostics carry the specific parts and tools this job calls for, not a generic kit.

Dispatch confirms your Cotati address and gives a realistic arrival window.
We text when the tech is en route so you're not watching the driveway.
Superheat, subcounting, and airflow readings get taken before any refrigerant is added.
Most refrigerant and component repairs wrap same-visit.

Turned out to be a slow leak at the schrader valve — they found it with dye, fixed it, and recharged properly.
Tech explained it was airflow-related from a dirty filter, not a refrigerant issue, and saved me an unnecessary recharge.
They caught it before the compressor overheated and swapped the fan motor same visit.
Their tech knew it on sight and had a replacement part on the truck.

Usually low refrigerant charge from an undetected leak, a dirty evaporator coil, or restricted airflow from a clogged filter.
Ice almost always means something is restricting airflow or refrigerant flow, and running it iced up can damage the compressor.
Every system has a manufacturer-specified charge amount — we don't top off blind, we charge to spec using superheat/subcooling readings.
Yes, though R-22 supply is limited and increasingly expensive — we'll be upfront if a repair-versus-replace conversation makes more financial sense.
Mini-splits have their own fault-code language, and our techs are trained on the major brands.
We prioritize no-cool calls with vulnerable occupants when scheduling.

Our AC repair crews are positioned throughout Cotati, CA to keep response times realistic, not just promised.
