Common AC Problems We Fix Every Day
Blowing Warm Air
If your AC is running but the air isn’t cold, it could be low refrigerant, clogged filters, or a failing compressor. Our technicians quickly find the root cause so you can feel relief again.
Strange Noises or Odors
Squealing, rattling, or musty smells mean something’s not right—early attention prevents bigger breakdowns and costly repairs.
Frequent Cycling or Won’t Turn On
If your unit turns on and off repeatedly, or doesn’t start at all, we’ll diagnose electrical issues, thermostat problems, or worn parts on the spot.
Refrigerant Leaks
Low refrigerant is a symptom, not a cause. If your system is undercharged, something is leaking, and topping it off without finding the leak means you pay for the same repair again next summer. We locate the leak, repair it, and recharge to manufacturer spec.
High Energy Bills
A sudden spike in your bill is a sign your system is straining—our maintenance visits catch these problems before they get worse.
You Get the Number Before We Touch Anything
Vague pricing is the most common complaint homeowners bring us about their last HVAC company. Here is how ours works.
Step 1
Flat-rate diagnostic
You pay one known diagnostic fee regardless of how long the diagnosis takes. There is no meter running while a technician troubleshoots.
Step 2
Written quote before work begins
You get the repair cost in writing before anything is opened up. If you decline, you owe the diagnostic and nothing else.
Step 3
No commission on the outcome
Our technicians are paid hourly. A repair and a replacement pay them the same, which is the entire reason we can promise a repair-first recommendation.
Every repair is backed by the Hicken Air Guarantee, our 100% satisfaction commitment.

Questions We Get on Almost Every Call
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
The three most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor or contactor in the outdoor unit, and a frozen evaporator coil caused by restricted airflow. A dirty filter can trigger the third one, so check that first. If the filter is clean and the air is still warm, the system needs a technician rather than another thermostat adjustment.
How much does AC repair cost in Arizona?
It depends almost entirely on which component failed, and most Arizona repairs fall into a wide range because a capacitor and a compressor are not remotely the same job. We charge a flat-rate diagnostic, then quote the repair in writing before starting, so you are never estimating from a phone call.
Do you do AC repair near me, open now?
We offer same-day service on most calls and staff additional crews through the summer. Call (480) 686-1919 and we will tell you honestly when we can be there rather than booking you into a window we cannot hold.
How often does an AC unit need a tune-up in Arizona?
Once a year at minimum, ideally in spring before cooling season. Arizona systems run far more hours than systems in most of the country, and monsoon dust accelerates wear on coils and filters. An annual AC tune-up in Gilbert or anywhere in the Valley is maintenance, not an upsell.
