We've ranked the top 10 air conditioning repair companies that operate within 50 miles of Prescott Valley. We base our ranking off average customer ratings weighted against the number of reviews. For more information, check out our full methodology.
A broken air conditioning system can be a nightmare in the middle of summer. A qualified AC repairtechnician in the Prescott Valley area can get your AC system back up and running before the extreme heat sets in.
Air conditioning problems occur for many reasons, and it’s better to find an experienced AC repair company than diagnose the problem yourself.
You need proper training and a certification to work with air conditioners. Technicians who handle refrigerants must pass a test and receive a certification through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In Prescott Valley, summertime temperatures average 91 degrees, so repairing your AC system before the hottest months should be a top priority. Collect multiple quotes from local HVAC pros to compare prices and services. This lets you find a air conditioning repair service within your budget.
Look for AC repair companies in Prescott Valley with at least 3.5 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews and a good rating on Better Business Bureau (BBB). Use the filters below to help you find the right company for your needs.
Below are additional air conditioning repair companies that didn’t make our top picks based on their distance, ratings or service offerings.
Here are some signs that your AC system needs to be repaired:
Take these factors into account when looking for the best AC repair company for you in Prescott Valley.
Verify your AC company has proper licensing and insurance before booking. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors requires HVAC contractors to maintain proper licensing. HVAC technicians who work with refrigerants must be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Other requirements include worker's compensation insurance and a cash bond or surety.
Some AC pros pursue optional national accreditations from organizations such as the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). While not mandatory, accreditation offers proof of the technician’s knowledge and ability in the field.
Most AC repair companies provide free estimates in which a technician visits your home to assess the problem, offers solutions and gives you a quote. Pay attention to how comprehensive the company is during the inspection.
Get itemized quotes from multiple companies to compare costs. Checking multiple quotes gives you a better idea of the average rates in your area. Be wary of providers that have unusually high or low rates.
Ask the AC repair technician about their familiarity with the job you need. HVAC technicians usually have experience with many AC systems, but some specialize in particular brands.
Ask your friends and family if they have any recommendations for local AC repair companies. And always check a company’s online reviews.
Feedback helps you gauge what kind of customer service and work quality you can expect from the company. Keep an eye out for consistently bad reviews or a recent uptick in poor feedback.
These are the AC unit types you can typically find in Prescott Valley homes, along with which homes they're most suitable for:
