Common causes
When you have an AC that runs but won’t cool, it’s usually down to low refrigerant, a dirty coil or filter, a failing capacitor, a tripped breaker, or a thermostat set wrong.
What you can check
- Replace a dirty filter.
- Make sure the outdoor unit is clear and the breaker hasn’t tripped.
- Check the thermostat is set to cool.
- Let a frozen coil fully thaw before restarting.

Frequently asked questions
Is low refrigerant dangerous?
Low refrigerant means a leak that needs a licensed tech – topping it up without fixing the leak just wastes money.
How much does AC repair cost?
We quote upfront before any work. Call (604) 330-3812 for a fast diagnosis.
Should I repair or replace?
If your AC is 12+ years old or needs a major repair, a high-efficiency replacement or heat pump may be smarter.
Do you offer fast service?
Yes – we prioritize no-cooling calls, especially in heat waves.
