AC problems
we fix.
Central air conditioners, heat pumps in cooling mode and ductless systems. Most visits start with a full diagnostic so the repair targets the real cause.
AC will not turn on
Thermostat, breaker, disconnect, contactor and control-board testing.
Frozen coil or ice on lines
Usually airflow or refrigerant charge. We fix the cause, not just thaw the ice.
Weak airflow
Blower motors, dirty coils, clogged filters and duct problems that leave rooms warm.
Strange noises or smells
Buzzing, grinding or burning smells checked before a small problem becomes a failed compressor.
Water around the indoor unit
Condensate drains, pans and pumps cleared and tested.
EL CERRITO DETAILSAC repair for
AC repair for
El Cerrito homes.
Many El Cerrito homes were never built with air conditioning, so the systems here are often add-ons in attics, crawlspaces or tight side yards. That placement drives most service calls.
01
No-start calls
Burned capacitors, pitted contactors and tripped disconnects account for many hot-day failures. Common parts ride on the truck.
02
Leak diagnosis
Refrigerant is not topped off blindly. The leak is located and repaired first, then the system is charged to spec.
03
Drainage and airflow
Clogged condensate lines and crushed flex duct in crawlspaces cause water damage and weak cooling. Both are checked on every call.

GOOD TO KNOW
AC Repair in El Cerrito: questions, answered.
Why is my AC running but the house stays warm?
Typical causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty coil, a failing fan motor or duct leaks. HAXX measures pressures and airflow to find which one.
Do you repair ductless AC in El Cerrito?
Yes. HAXX services wall-mounted and ceiling cassette mini-splits from Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG and other brands.
Can you come the same day?
Often, yes, in summer especially. Call and the team will confirm the earliest arrival window for your address.
Should I repair or replace my AC?
Compare the diagnosed fault, the repair price and the system's age and refrigerant. HAXX shows both paths so you can choose.
