What Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Should Know About AC Repair
When your AC quits in Fort Lauderdale, the house hits 90 degrees indoors within a few hours. The humidity here sits around 80 percent most of the year, and the salt air blowing in off the Atlantic corrodes coils and electrical connections faster than most people expect. A lot of the homes in Coral Ridge, Sailboat Bend, and Progresso were built in the 1960s and 1970s — their ductwork and wiring were not designed for the unit sizes people run today.
We start with a full system inspection before we quote anything — that means checking refrigerant levels, coil condition, electrical connections, and airflow, not just swapping the part that threw a code. A lot of contractors in South Florida replace capacitors or flush refrigerant without finding the root problem, and the unit fails again inside six months.

What We Do
AC Repair Services in Fort Lauderdale
AC Repair
We diagnose and fix the actual problem — blown capacitors, bad contactors, frozen coils, failed motors, refrigerant leaks, and thermostat failures. We do not reset the unit and leave; we find what caused it to fail.
- Full diagnostic of both the outdoor condenser and indoor air handler
- Replacement of the confirmed failed component with parts on hand
- Labor for the repair itself, including disassembly and reassembly
Free On-Site Inspection
We come out, look at the unit, and tell you what is wrong before you spend anything. No charge for the inspection and no obligation to hire us.
- Visual inspection of the outdoor condenser unit and all accessible components
- Visual inspection of the indoor air handler, coil, and drain line
- Temperature differential check to measure actual cooling performance
Refrigerant Recharge and Leak Repair
Low refrigerant almost always means a leak somewhere — we find it and fix it before recharging. Just adding refrigerant without fixing the leak is a waste of money.
- Pressure measurement on both high and low side of the refrigerant circuit
- Electronic leak detection and UV dye inspection on accessible components
- Repair of the identified leak point, including brazing or valve replacement
AC Tune-Up and Maintenance
We clean the coils, check the refrigerant level, test the electrical components, and clear the condensate drain. The salt air near the coast corrodes coils faster than most people realize, so annual cleaning is worth doing.
- Evaporator coil cleaning with appropriate coil cleaner and rinse
- Condenser coil rinse and fin inspection at the outdoor unit
- Capacitor and contactor testing with actual measured readings

How much does AC repair cost in Fort Lauderdale?
There is no flat number because every repair is different. A capacitor swap on a standard residential unit is a short job with an inexpensive part. A refrigerant leak buried inside the air handler in a house built in the 1970s takes longer and costs more. The age of the unit, the brand, and how hard it is to access all affect the final number. Call for a free estimate.
How long does AC repair take in Fort Lauderdale?
Most common repairs — capacitors, contactors, thermostat wiring — get done in one visit, usually under two hours. If a part needs to be ordered, add a day or two. Refrigerant leaks that require coil removal take longer, sometimes most of a day. We will tell you the expected time after the inspection.
Why does my AC keep freezing up in South Florida?
A frozen coil usually means one of two things: restricted airflow from a dirty filter or blocked vents, or low refrigerant from a leak. In Fort Lauderdale, dust and humidity build up on filters fast — check yours first. If the filter is clean and the coil still freezes, you likely have a refrigerant leak that needs to be found and fixed.
Do I need a permit for AC repair in Fort Lauderdale?
Minor repairs like replacing a capacitor or a thermostat do not require a permit. Full unit replacements and major refrigerant system work in Broward County typically do. Skipping a required permit can cause problems when you sell the house. We will tell you before we start whether the job you need requires one.
