Call (209) 305-4521 any hour.
Serving Santa Barbara and the surrounding Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara?
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.
