Air Conditioning Repair and Heating Repair in Salinas
Cold air one day, warm air the next. If your air conditioner is not blowing cold air or your furnace will not ignite, our Salinas HVAC technicians diagnose the real cause — not a guess — and quote a flat price before any work starts. Air conditioning repair and heating repair in Salinas, Monterey County, is available same day in most cases, including nights and weekends at no overtime charge.
Serving Salinas and the surrounding Monterey County communities means knowing the local building stock: the attic air handlers baking at 140 degrees, the undersized returns in older tract homes, the mini splits in new ADUs, and the condensers packed with dust after a dry season. We diagnose for the conditions your system actually lives in.

My AC is not cooling or not blowing cold air. What should I check first in Salinas?
Confirm the thermostat is set to COOL and below room temperature, replace a dirty air filter, check the indoor and outdoor breakers, and make sure the outdoor unit fan is spinning and the coil is not clogged with dust. If the coil is iced over, switch the system OFF and the fan ON to thaw, then call us - ice usually means low refrigerant or an airflow problem.
