Your AC Stopped Working—Now What?

When your AC breaks down in a Laredo summer, every hour matters. Hot, humid air creeping into your home isn't just uncomfortable—it can affect your health, your sleep, and your family's well-being. You need someone who answers the phone and shows up fast.

Air Boss Refrigeration provides same-day AC repair for most issues. Our trucks carry common parts so we can often fix the problem in one visit. We diagnose the issue, explain what's wrong in plain language, and give you upfront pricing before any work begins—no surprises on your bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How quickly can you respond to a repair call?
    We offer same-day service for most repair calls made before noon. For emergencies, we provide 24/7 service with technicians on call around the clock. We understand how important AC is in South Texas and prioritize getting your system running quickly.
  • Should I repair or replace my AC?
    We'll give you an honest assessment. Generally, if repairs cost more than 50% of a new system's price, or if your system is over 10-15 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective. We'll explain your options without pressure.
  • Do you provide repair warranties?
    Yes, all our repairs are backed by a warranty on parts and labor. If the same problem recurs within the warranty period, we'll fix it at no additional charge. We stand behind our work and use quality replacement parts.
  • How much does AC repair typically cost?
    Repair costs depend on the specific problem and parts needed. We diagnose the issue first, then provide upfront pricing before starting any work so you know exactly what to expect—no surprise bills. Call us for a diagnosis and honest quote.
  • What are signs my AC needs repair?
    Watch for warm air from vents, weak airflow, unusual noises (grinding, squealing, banging), bad odors, frequent cycling on/off, water leaks around the unit, or higher-than-normal energy bills. Catching problems early prevents more expensive repairs.
  • Why is my AC running but not cooling?
    Common causes include low refrigerant (often from a leak), a dirty air filter restricting airflow, frozen evaporator coils, a failing compressor, or thermostat issues. Our technicians diagnose the exact cause and explain repair options before proceeding.
