You shouldn’t have to sweat through another Connecticut summer because your AC gave out. When we’re done, your system works the way it should—quietly, efficiently, and reliably.
No more wondering if that strange noise means another expensive breakdown is coming. No more sky-high electric bills because your unit is working twice as hard to keep up. Just consistent, comfortable temperatures that let you focus on what matters.
We fix the problem, not just the symptoms. That means you get back to comfortable living without the stress of wondering when the next repair bill is coming.
We’ve been keeping Shady Rest homes and businesses comfortable through Connecticut’s demanding climate for years. We understand how the humidity and temperature swings here affect your cooling system.
Our technicians have seen every type of AC problem that Connecticut weather can create. From units that can’t keep up during July heat waves to systems that break down right when you need them most, we’ve fixed them all.
We’re not the guys who show up late, leave a mess, or try to sell you a new system when yours just needs a proper repair. We’re the team that gets it right the first time.
First, we listen to what’s happening with your system. Strange noises, weak airflow, uneven cooling—we want to understand the problem before we touch anything.
Next, we diagnose the actual issue. Not what we think it might be, but what’s really wrong. We test components, check refrigerant levels, and inspect the parts that commonly fail in Connecticut’s climate.
Then we explain what we found in plain language. You’ll know exactly what’s broken, why it happened, and what it’ll take to fix it properly. No technical jargon, no overselling, just honest information.
Finally, we make the repair with quality parts that last. We test everything to make sure it’s working right, clean up after ourselves, and make sure you know how to keep your system running smoothly.

Our AC repair service covers the full range of cooling problems Connecticut homeowners face. From refrigerant leaks and compressor failures to electrical issues and airflow problems, we handle it all.
We service all major AC brands and models, whether you have a central air system, ductless mini-splits, or commercial cooling equipment. Our trucks carry the parts needed for most common repairs, which means we can often fix your problem the same day.
Connecticut’s humid summers and temperature fluctuations create specific challenges for cooling systems. We know which components fail most often in this climate and how to prevent those problems through proper maintenance and quality repairs.
We understand that AC breakdowns don’t wait for convenient times, especially during Connecticut’s hot, humid summers. For emergency repairs in Shady Rest, we typically respond within a few hours during normal business hours.
During peak summer months when demand is highest, we prioritize calls based on urgency—complete system failures in extreme heat get priority over minor issues. We keep our trucks stocked with common parts to handle most repairs on the first visit.
If we can’t get to you the same day, we’ll give you an honest timeframe and some tips to help keep your home as comfortable as possible until we arrive.
AC repair costs in Connecticut typically range from $150 for minor fixes like thermostat issues to $1,500 for major component replacements like compressors. Most common repairs—refrigerant leaks, fan motor replacements, or electrical problems—fall between $300 and $800.
The actual cost depends on what’s wrong, which parts are needed, and how much labor is involved. We always diagnose the problem first and give you a clear estimate before starting any work. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Sometimes a repair that seems expensive initially saves you thousands compared to replacing the entire system. We’ll help you understand your options so you can make the right decision for your situation and budget.
If your AC is less than 10 years old and the repair costs less than half of a new system, repair usually makes sense. For units over 15 years old with major component failures, replacement often provides better long-term value.
We look at factors like your system’s age, overall condition, energy efficiency, and how much you’ve spent on repairs recently. A unit that needs frequent fixes or struggles to cool your home efficiently might be telling you it’s time for an upgrade.
We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your specific situation. Our job is to solve your cooling problems in the most cost-effective way possible, not to sell you the most expensive option.
Connecticut’s humid summers and temperature swings mean your AC works harder than systems in milder climates. Annual maintenance before cooling season starts is essential, typically in late spring before the summer heat hits.
During maintenance, we clean coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and test all components. This prevents most breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently when you need it most.
If you have pets, live near construction, or run your AC heavily, you might benefit from maintenance twice a year. Well-maintained systems last longer, use less energy, and break down far less often than neglected ones.
Call for immediate repair if your AC stops cooling entirely, makes loud grinding or squealing noises, or if you notice water pooling around the unit. These issues can cause expensive damage if ignored.
Other urgent signs include burning smells, frequent cycling on and off, or ice forming on the coils during normal operation. These problems typically get worse quickly and can lead to complete system failure.
Don’t ignore weak airflow, uneven cooling between rooms, or unusually high electric bills. While these aren’t emergencies, they indicate problems that will likely worsen and become more expensive to fix if left untreated.
