What should I do today if my AC is not cooling at all?

Check the thermostat setting, the air filter, and the breaker before you call. Many no-cooling calls end up being a simple repair rather than a full replacement. Tell the pro you need Spanish-speaking service when you call.

What does an urgent AC repair cost in El Paso?

Emergency after-hours AC calls in El Paso are listed at about $225 to $500. Common repairs such as capacitor, contactor, or fan motor work run about $175 to $650. Ask for an itemized quote before work starts.

How do I verify the pro is licensed?

Texas requires an Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractor license, issued through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Ask the pro for proof of license and insurance before any work. Confirm the license on the state's contractor lookup.

Do I need a permit for AC repair in El Paso?

Repairs usually do not need a permit, but installing or replacing permanently installed heating or cooling equipment inside El Paso city limits generally requires a mechanical permit. The City of El Paso Planning and Inspections Department issues it. Ask your pro whether a permit applies to your job.

What to do next

  1. Turn the thermostat to cool and check the air filter for blockage.
  2. Check the breaker panel for a tripped breaker and reset it once.
  3. Verify the pro's Texas Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractor license with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
  4. Ask for an itemized quote that lists the service call fee, labor rate, and parts before approving work.
