How Much Does Air Conditioning Repair Cost?
The cost of air conditioning repair can vary widely based on numerous factors. While repair expenses can sometimes be high, ignoring necessary repairs can lead to increased electricity bills and poor cooling performance, leaving your home vulnerable to Arizona’s extreme heat.
Repair costs typically range from $200 to $5,000 for major fixes, with an average repair costing around $400. Additionally, a diagnostic fee of about $120 is common. Given the potential increase in utility bills and the discomfort of an inefficient AC, this price is often worth it.
Several factors determine repair costs, including the type of repair, necessary parts, and labor charges. The size of your air conditioner impacts the cost, with smaller units usually requiring less expensive repairs than larger systems. The specific parts needed also affect the price; a new filter might cost just $5, while a heat exchanger could cost up to $2,000. Labor costs vary depending on the repair’s complexity—replacing a compressor, for example, can take up to six hours, resulting in higher labor fees. Local labor rates also play a role in the overall cost.
