Our proven process ensures your ac repair project is done right the first time.
Our Alpine technician listens to your description of the problem, inspects the thermostat settings and wiring, checks the electrical disconnect and breaker, and performs a visual inspection of the outdoor condenser and indoor air handler for obvious issues like a frozen coil, tripped safety switch, or burned wiring.
We test capacitors, contactors, relays, and the compressor windings with a multimeter. We connect manifold gauges to measure suction and discharge pressures, calculate superheat and subcooling, and compare all readings to the manufacturer specification for your unit.
KIC Refrigeration performs AC repairs in Alpine, UT by the book. For electrical failures, we match the replacement part to factory specifications. For sealed-system repairs, we follow EPA Section 608 recovery procedures, braze with nitrogen purge, pressure test to 300 PSI, evacuate to 500 microns, and charge by weight — never by guessing or topping off.
Our Alpine technician verifies the repair by running the AC through a full cooling cycle. We measure supply and return air temperatures at the air handler to confirm a 16 to 22 degree split, check that suction pressure produces 35 to 45 degree evaporator saturation temperature, and verify the system cycles cleanly on and off.
Everything you need to know before scheduling ac repair for your property.
AC repair in Alpine typically costs $150 to $500 for common component failures including run capacitors ($150 to $250), contactors ($150 to $350), condenser fan motors ($250 to $500), and blower motors ($300 to $600). Compressor replacement is the most expensive repair at $1,500 to $3,500 depending on unit tonnage and whether the system uses R-410A or older R-22 refrigerant. Evaporator coil replacement runs $800 to $2,500 including the refrigerant recovery and recharge. KIC Refrigeration provides a detailed written estimate with itemized parts and labor costs before beginning any AC repair at your Alpine property so there are no surprises on the invoice.
The industry guideline is to repair if the unit is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than 50 percent of a new system. AC units over 15 years old — especially those running R-22 refrigerant — are almost always better replaced. R-22 has been phased out of production and the remaining supply costs $80 to $150 per pound, making even minor refrigerant leaks prohibitively expensive to fix. A new 16 SEER2 system uses approximately 38 percent less energy than a 10 SEER unit, and many qualify for the federal energy tax credit. KIC Refrigeration helps Alpine homeowners evaluate repair versus replacement based on equipment age, repair history, refrigerant type, and projected energy savings.
Most AC repairs in Alpine are completed in 1 to 2 hours during a single service visit. Capacitor and contactor replacements are quick fixes that take 15 to 30 minutes of hands-on time. Fan motor and blower motor replacements take 1 to 2 hours including wiring and testing. Compressor replacement is the most time-intensive repair at 3 to 6 hours because it requires refrigerant recovery with an EPA-certified machine, compressor removal, new compressor installation, nitrogen-purged brazing, pressure testing at 300 PSI, evacuation to below 500 microns, and recharging by weight. KIC Refrigeration arrives at your Alpine home with a fully stocked truck to complete most repairs in a single visit.
