AC Repair in Lakewood, CO
Something’s off with your system: it’s running but not cooling, it’s making a sound it didn’t used to make, or it just stopped altogether. We’ll diagnose the problem for you and fix it without any guessing.
Common AC repairs in Lakewood include refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors and contactors, frozen evaporator coils, compressor issues, and drainage problems that back up and trigger the system to shut itself off.
AC Maintenance and Tune-Ups
The most common reason AC systems fail in the middle of summer is that they went into the season with a problem that was already developing in the background. A spring tune-up puts you in a great position come July. We clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical components, clear the drain line, and make sure the system is dialed in for the season ahead.
But also consider the age of your AC system. If it’s been through a decade of Lakewood summers, it may be doing its job, but it’s close to needing a replacement for efficiency’s sake alone. We’ll talk about that with you at your next AC tune-up.
AC Installation and Replacement
A lot of Lakewood’s older homes weren’t built with central air. The ranches and cottages near Eiber and the Federal Center corridor were built in an era when a window unit in the bedroom was considered perfectly fine.
But adding central air isn’t exactly a simple swap. means evaluating the existing ductwork (if there is any), checking that the electrical panel can handle the load, and sizing the system correctly for the actual square footage and layout of the house.
Consider the elevation in our area, too. A home at 6,200 feet near the top of Green Mountain needs more cooling capacity than one at 5,500 feet near Belmar, so an undersized system for the elevation will run constantly without ever quite keeping up. We size equipment for where your house actually sits, and install the AC correctly.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Ductless mini-splits are great for homes without ductwork, or rooms that the central system just never reaches properly. They’re efficient, they’re quiet, and they give you independent temperature control for each zone. A lot of Lakewood homeowners use them for garage conversions, additions, or that one room upstairs that always seems to be 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house.
R-410A Refrigerant and System Upgrades
If your AC is older, it’s probably running on R-22 refrigerant. It’s been phased out, so it’s hard to source. You can see why that’s a problem when there’s a leak causing low refrigerant levels. The industry has moved to R-410A and newer alternatives.
If you’re putting money into a system that’s running on R-22, it’s worth having a conversation about whether repairs still make financial sense or not. We’ll let you know if it’s the right time for AC replacement in Lakewood, CO.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions Lakewood homeowners ask us about AC repair.
How fast can you get to my home in Lakewood to repair my AC?
For emergencies, we aim to be there within a couple of hours. Our Alameda location puts us close to most of Lakewood. For non-urgent appointments, same-day and next-day slots are usually available.
Do you work on all AC brands and system types?
Yes, we service all the major brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, American Standard, and others. Basically, if it cools your house, we can work on it.
Why does my upstairs stay warm even when the AC is running?
Heat rises, and older ductwork was typically designed without a lot of thought for upper-floor airflow. You’ll see this a lot in older homes. Sometimes the fix is as simple as redirecting the airflow, but sometimes the ductwork itself is the problem. Sometimes a supplemental mini-split for the upper level is the right answer. Either way, we’ll diagnose the actual cause before recommending a fix.
