AC Repair

Our AC Services
AC Installation
New central AC, heat pump, or ductless mini-split — Conrad sizes every system to the actual load, handles permits and electrical connections, and completes most residential installs in a single day. Energy Trust of Oregon rebates available on qualifying high-efficiency equipment.
AC Repair
System blowing warm air, short-cycling, or making noise it didn’t make last summer? Our technicians carry the parts that fix the most common failures on the first visit — capacitors, contactors, fan motors, refrigerant. Diagnostic call first, written quote before we touch anything.
AC Maintenance
An annual tune-up in March or April keeps the system ready before the first heat advisory. Conrad checks refrigerant charge, cleans coils, tests the capacitor and contactor, and measures airflow — not just a filter swap. Maintenance agreement customers get priority scheduling when summer booking backs up.
Fast and Reliable Air Conditioning Repair
The Willamette Valley gets stretches of 95°F+ that didn’t happen ten years ago. When a cooling system fails during that window, Conrad’s approach is simple: diagnose the actual problem, quote the fix in writing, and repair it — not push you toward a replacement you may not need.
We service all major brands — Bosch, Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Daikin, Goodman, Rheem — regardless of age or who installed the system. Our technicians are CCB-licensed, EPA 608-certified, and in-house. Most Beaverton and Portland metro repair calls are scheduled same-day; emergency dispatch runs around the clock.
Don’t let a broken air conditioner make your Beaverton summer a sweaty nightmare!
Conrad Heating and Cooling’s expert AC repair services are here to keep your home cool and comfortable all season long.
Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Repair
Common AC Problems We Fix
- Blowing warm air — low refrigerant charge, failed compressor, or an iced-over evaporator coil
- Short-cycling — starts, runs 2–3 minutes, shuts off, repeats; usually a failing capacitor, refrigerant issue, or oversized system
- Unusual sounds — grinding (motor bearing), rattling (loose panel or debris in blower), clicking on startup that won’t stop (relay or contactor)
- Water leaks or ice buildup — clogged condensate drain or low refrigerant causing the coil to freeze
- Uneven cooling — some rooms cold, others never get there; points to airflow, duct, or zoning issues
- Spiking energy bills — a 15–20% increase without usage change usually means the system is working harder than it should
Two or more of these at once — schedule service today.
AC Troubleshooting Before You Call
A few things worth checking yourself first:
- Thermostat — set to Cool, temperature below current room temp, fan on Auto
- Air filter — a clogged filter blocks airflow and can trip the high-limit switch; replace if it’s been more than 3 months
- Circuit breaker — the AC breaker trips occasionally; reset once. If it trips again, don’t reset — call for service
- Outdoor unit — clear debris and overgrowth within 2 feet of the condenser
- Vents — supply and return vents not blocked by furniture
Still not working? The problem is inside the system. Call 503-785-9715 for professional AC repair.
How Our AC Repair Service Works
Step-by-Step AC Repair Process
- Schedule — call 503-785-9715 or book online. Same-day service for most Portland metro calls received before 5 PM; 24/7 for emergencies.
- Diagnostics — full system check: refrigerant charge, electrical components, airflow, coil condition, and controls. We find the cause, not just the symptom.
- Upfront quote — before touching anything, you get the repair cost in writing. No hidden labor fees, no surprise line items.
- Repair and test — we complete the repair and run the system through a full cycle to confirm it holds. Written summary before we leave.
Most AC repairs run $150–$600 and close on the first visit.
AC Components We Repair — and When to Replace Instead
Conrad repairs the full range of air conditioning components: capacitors and contactors, condenser and evaporator fan motors, refrigerant leaks and recharge, evaporator and condenser coil cleaning or replacement, clogged condensate drain lines, thermostat and control board issues, and compressor diagnostics.
Compressor replacement is the exception. A compressor job on a system over 10 years old often costs more than a new install — and leaves you with new-cost repair on aging equipment. If your system uses R-22 refrigerant (pre-2010), parts are increasingly scarce. Two repairs in one season is the other threshold. At any of these points, AC installation is likely the better investment. Conrad gives you both numbers.
Emergency AC Repair — Same-Day Service
An air conditioner that quits during a heat advisory can’t wait until Monday. Conrad’s emergency line is live around the clock — nights, weekends, and holidays — for homes and businesses throughout the Portland metro.
When you call, you reach a live dispatcher, not a voicemail. Most emergency AC repair calls are on-site within 2 hours. Common scenarios: complete system shutdown during a heat event, compressor failure mid-season, refrigerant leak discovered when cooling drops off suddenly.

Why Choose Conrad for AC Repair?
Certified HVAC Technicians
Oregon CCB license and EPA 608 certification — legally required for AC repair and refrigerant handling, verified before anyone goes on a job. Conrad’s technicians are full-time and in-house. The person who shows up has been trained on the equipment they’re working on, not handed a work order from a staffing pool.
Same-Day and Emergency Response
Most AC repair calls received before 5 PM are scheduled same-day across the Portland metro. Emergency calls go to a live dispatcher 24/7 — no voicemail. A technician is typically on-site within 2 hours. When it’s 95°F and the system just quit, that response time matters.
Upfront Pricing, No Hidden Fees
Diagnostic first, written quote second, work third. The number you get after diagnosis is what’s on the invoice — no surprise labor charges, no parts markup discovered at the end. If something changes mid-repair, we stop and call you before continuing.
All Brands and Models Serviced
Conrad repairs every major AC brand — Bosch, Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Daikin, Goodman, Rheem — regardless of age or who installed the system. We stock the most common failure parts on the truck: capacitors, contactors, fan motors, refrigerant, and control boards.
