Notice any of these issues? It may be time to schedule AC repair in San Francisco.
Warm air may be because of the wrong thermostat setting, dirty filter, low refrigerant, frozen evaporator coil, or electrical issue, to name a few. If simple checks don’t help, the system should be professionally diagnosed.
Weak or uneven airflow can result from a clogged filter, blower issue, leaking ductwork, closed dampers, or another restriction. We test the system before recommending any air conditioning repair services.
Frequent short cycling can increase system wear and reduce efficiency. Common causes include thermostat problems, restricted airflow, refrigerant issues, electrical faults, or an AC system that is improperly sized.
Water near the indoor unit usually means a clogged condensate drain, a frozen evaporator coil, or a damaged drain pan. A small leak can quickly turn into water damage to your floors or walls.
Any unit shouldn't squeal, rattle, buzz, grind, or bang. Pay attention to what the noise sounds like and where it's coming from.
If your AC keeps running but the temp is still pretty high, it can be restricted airflow, dirty coils, low refrigerant, thermostat problems, or another fault that may require HVAC repair in San Francisco.

Our experience with Freon HVAC has been exceptional for a full panel upgrade to 200 amps and installation of a new Mitsubishi mini-split system in an old house. We took quotes from 4 different top rated hvac providers in the San Jose area, before deciding to go with Freon. I appreciated the honesty and detailed analysis of our needs by Slava when he first showed up to do an estimate. He asked a ton of questions, checked the house for existing setup, wiring, possibilities, and discussed multiple possibilities including ducted, gas, hybrid, and heat pump only. Once we decided to go with a specific type of configuration, he gave us multiple options. Their pricing was competitive and while it took forever for PGE to get to the wiring/transformer upgrade, Freon's team worked with them patiently to meet our needs. Special thanks to Jessica for regular follow ups with PGE and us. Once PGE scheduled the wiring upgrade (after 3 months), Freon's team was prompt and did a very clean install including all internal wiring and drainage work. They ensured city inspection was scheduled promptly and addressed all city concerns for a quick approval. I have not dealt with a more professional and competent crew in this area in a very long time. Would love to do business with them again.![]()

I usually doubt perfect 5-star ratings, but Freon completely earned theirs. My AC/heater combo unit broke, and every other company told me I needed a total replacement, quoting me between $9k and $12k. Freon came out to inspect it, and later that day, they gave me a quote for just $3,000 to repair it. I signed the contract that night, and they were back to do the work just 5 days later on June 19th. The tech replaced the compressor to get it running, but didn't stop there. He thoroughly tested the system, caught a power issue, and replaced the compressor relay and expansion valve to ensure the unit wouldn't break down again. Outstanding service. I'm finally set for the summer and winter. They deserve every single star!![]()
