AC Problems We Fix in Winnipeg
Not Cooling
Running but blowing warm air. Could be low refrigerant, a dirty condenser, a failing compressor, or restricted airflow. We find the actual problem.
Won't Turn On
Could be a tripped breaker, a faulty capacitor, a bad contactor, or a control board issue. We start with the simple checks first.
Short Cycling
Turns on and off every few minutes. Wears the compressor out fast. Often caused by an oversized unit, low refrigerant, or a dirty filter.
Freezing Up
Ice on the refrigerant lines or air handler means low airflow or low refrigerant. The unit needs to defrost before we can properly diagnose it.
Strange Noises
Rattling, squealing, banging — different sounds point to different problems. Fan issues, loose components, or compressor problems. We diagnose on-site.
Refrigerant Leak
Low refrigerant isn't a normal maintenance item — it means there's a leak. We find it, fix it, then recharge the system.
Central Air vs. Ductless Mini-Splits
We repair both types. Central air conditioning uses your existing ductwork — the same ducts your furnace uses in winter. Ductless mini-splits (also called heat pumps or ductless AC) have an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers mounted on walls.
Both systems need regular maintenance and occasional repair. If you're not sure what type you have, the simplest test: look for vents in the ceiling or floor (central air) vs. wall-mounted units with a remote control (ductless). Either way, call us and describe what's happening — we'll figure it out.
AC Brands We Service
We work on all major brands: Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, LG, Samsung, American Standard, Bryant, and others. If you have an older unit, we've probably seen it before.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AC repair cost in Winnipeg?
Depends on what's wrong. A service call and diagnostic is $80–$150. Common repairs — capacitor, contactor, refrigerant recharge — are usually $200–$500. Compressor replacement is more and sometimes not worth it on older units. We tell you the price before we do the work.
My AC is running but not cooling — what could it be?
Several possibilities: low refrigerant (usually from a leak), a dirty condenser coil, a failing compressor, a faulty capacitor, or restricted airflow from a clogged filter. We diagnose it on-site and tell you what we find.
Should I repair or replace my old AC unit?
If the unit is 15+ years old and needs a major repair, replacement often makes more sense. Modern units are significantly more efficient. We'll give you an honest comparison — repair cost vs. replacement cost vs. energy savings — and let you decide.
How do I know if my AC needs refrigerant?
Signs include: longer run times to cool the home, ice forming on the refrigerant lines, warm air coming from the vents even when the system is running. Adding refrigerant without fixing the leak is a short-term fix — we find and fix the leak first.
