What we don't fix
Refrigerant (Freon) sealed-system issues
Federal law requires EPA 608 certification to touch sealed-system refrigerant lines. If your AC shows one of these signs, we refer you to our certified partner:
- · Chemical / freon / refrigerant smell
- · Visible oily residue near coils or compressor
Symptoms that soundsealed-system but usually aren't — we fix these regularly:
- · Not cooling — dirty coils, capacitor, thermostat, fan motor
- · Leaking water — usually clogged drain or tilted install
- · Weak airflow — filter, fan blade, motor
When in doubt — book a diagnostic. If we find true sealed-system damage we'll hand off without charging the diagnostic.

Questions
AC repair FAQ
Do you repair split-system AC?
Mechanical / refrigerant repair on split systems we refer to an HVAC contractor — that work requires EPA 608 certification. But we DO clean split systems (see /ac-cleaning) and that's a separate service.
What if it's a freon leak?
If you smell chemical / freon, or see oily residue near the coils, we'll refer you to our EPA 608 certified partner. We don't touch refrigerant — Federal law. The good news: most 'not cooling' calls aren't sealed-system, they're cleanable or repairable on the spot.
Do you bring parts?
We diagnose on-site first, then order the exact part the same day from local NYC distributors (capacitors, fan motors, control boards — all available next-day). You pay only for parts we actually install. No extra trip charge for the return install visit.
Same-day in NYC?
Yes, in most cases. Call us and we'll have a technician at your door the same day in Manhattan below 110th, Brooklyn, and Queens (Astoria, LIC, Sunnyside).
What's the diagnostic?
$100 flat, window or wall-mount alike — credited in full if you decide to proceed. Honest no-fix verdicts get a refund of the diagnostic.
