AC Repair in Greater Boston

If your AC runs but doesn’t cool, the usual culprits are a clogged filter, dirty coils, low refrigerant, wrong thermostat settings, a blocked outdoor unit, or duct airflow issues. Akian repairs all major brands (American Standard, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Bryant, York, Amana) and our $99 maintenance finds refrigerant and coil problems early. We recommended having this service completed before the cooling season begins when outdoor temperatures are in the 60s+

Your AC may run without cooling due to low refrigerant, restricted airflow, or a dirty outdoor coil. A wrong thermostat mode, a clogged drain, or a frozen indoor coil can also cut cooling. Our 21-point AC tune-up includes a full system inspection, refrigerant check, and coil cleaning to restore performance. We repair all major brands and service homes Watertown and the surrounding cities and towns.

The most common AC repair issue homeowners face is a dirty, clogged air filter that restricts airflow and overworks the system. Skipped filter changes let dust and pollen choke the return, which can drop coil temperature, trigger icing, and make warm-air complaints look like a refrigerant problem when it’s really airflow. Left alone, the strain can trip safeties or shorten compressor life. We see this pattern often during spring service visits around the Boston area. A seasonal $99 AC tune-up we offer includes coil cleaning and a refrigerant level check to catch problems early.

Before you call, try these quick checks:

• Replace or wash the air filter and note the date.
• Make sure return and supply vents are open and not blocked by furniture.
• Confirm thermostat mode, temperature setting, and fresh batteries.
• If you see ice on the refrigerant line or a full condensate pan, shut the system off and schedule service.

Turn the system off if you notice ice or water around the air handler to prevent compressor damage. <br/> Updated: 2026-04-03 <br/> Need help in Waban, MA?

He was professional, informative, and wonderful to work with!” — Kristina W.

AC compressor replacement cost varies by system size, brand, refrigerant type, and warranty status. We confirm pricing after an on-site diagnosis and provide a written estimate before work begins. Many homeowners in Watertown and our surrounding areas weigh compressor-only replacement against a full-system upgrade.

Quick checks:

• Have model/serial and warranty info ready.
• Note symptoms and any recent repairs.
