Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair

How quickly can Drake Mechanical respond to an AC repair call?

We offer same-day service whenever possible and 24/7 emergency availability. When you call, a live person answers — not a voicemail.

Do you service all AC brands and models?

Yes. Our certified technicians are trained to service all makes and models, from older central air systems to modern ductless units. We’re also a Comfortmaker Elite Dealer for installations and new equipment.

What causes an AC to stop blowing cold air?

The most common culprits are low refrigerant, a dirty filter restricting airflow, a frozen evaporator coil, or a failing compressor. A technician can pinpoint the exact cause in most cases during a single visit.

How much does AC repair cost in Boise?

Costs vary depending on the issue. Minor repairs typically run $150–$400, mid-range repairs $400–$900, and major work can exceed $1,000. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work.

Is it better to repair or replace my AC?

It depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and how frequently it’s been breaking down. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment with no pressure either way.

Do you offer financing for AC repairs or replacements?

Yes — we offer financing with $0 down and monthly payments starting at $35/month. Ask your technician or visit our website to get started.
