Our A/C & Heating Services

Ice-Cold Comfort You Can Count On

We refuse to just "top off" your freon and send you back out into the heat. Whether you have an AC that only blows hot in heavy traffic, a sweet-smelling vapor coming from your vents, or a mystery dashboard click, we find the root cause. We use UV dye to physically show you the hidden leak and carefully handle dashboard repairs so you leave with a quiet, ice-cold cabin.

What You're Experiencing

  • A/C blows warm or hot air, especially in stop-and-go traffic
  • Sweet, chemical smell coming through the vents
  • Clicking or ticking noise behind the dashboard
  • Musty, mildew smell when the A/C turns on
  • Wet floorboards or a puddle under the passenger side

What We Fix

  • UV Dye Leak Detection (Finding the real leak, not just topping off freon)
  • Compressor & Condenser Repair (Fixing systems that fail under heat load)
  • Heater Core Replacement (Eliminating the sweet-smelling vapor)
  • Blend Door Actuator Repair (Silencing the dashboard "click of death")
  • Evaporator & Drain Line Clearing (Ending musty smells and interior water damage)
  • Rattle-Free Dash Reassembly (Careful tear-downs with fresh clips and fasteners)

"Three other shops just kept charging me for 'freon top-offs' that leaked out in days. These guys used a UV dye to show me the actual cracked hose. Honest, fast, and my AC is finally ice cold."

"I was terrified when sweet-smelling smoke came out of my vents. They explained it was my heater core and were totally upfront about the labor cost to remove the dash. My car was returned perfectly put together with zero rattles."

"My AC only blew hot when I was stuck in traffic, and other shops said they 'couldn't replicate it.' These guys actually stress-tested it in the heat, found the failing compressor, and fixed it right."

Straightforward Answers to Your Climate Control Questions

How much does A/C or heating repair cost?

A/C is a sealed system, so costs depend entirely on where the leak is and what component failed. A cracked hose is a very different repair than a compressor replacement or a heater core buried behind the dashboard. We visually locate the leak first and clearly explain the exact parts and labor required before you owe a dime.

How long does A/C or heater repair take?

Minor leaks, blend door clicks, and compressor swaps are often same-day fixes. For deep dashboard work like a heater core, we take the extra time needed to carefully reassemble everything so your cabin stays squeak-and-rattle-free.

Why is my car blowing hot air or smelling weird?

It could be a failing compressor, a hidden freon leak, or a broken blend door actuator (the "click of death"). Sweet smells or wet floorboards usually mean a heater core or drain issue that needs immediate attention to protect your engine and interior.

Can I just recharge my A/C myself with a kit from the store?

Those kits can work as a temporary fix if you have a very minor leak, but they will not tell you why your refrigerant is low in the first place. If there is a real leak, a compressor issue, or a failing component, you will be right back to blowing warm air within weeks — and the added refrigerant can sometimes mask a problem that gets more expensive the longer it sits.
