Get Familiar With Your Air Conditioner
The four main components to your air conditioner are:
Condenser
The condenser is the outside metal unit and where the gas from the compressor is condensed into a liquid. The gas entering the condenser is very hot. The temperature is then lowered, so the gas can convert back to a liquid.
Compressor
The compressor is inside the condenser. It circulates the pressurized refrigerant, to concentrate the heat, and changes the low pressure gas to high pressure.
Evaporator
The evaporator is the part of the system inside the home. In simple language, it absorbs the heat from your home.
Expansion Valve
The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant in your system.
All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.
Sacramento AC Repair FAQs
Q: How do I know if my AC needs a repair or just a tune-up?
A: If your AC is making strange noises, blowing warm air, cycling frequently, or not turning on, it likely needs a repair. A tune-up is more preventative—something we recommend once a year to keep things running smoothly.
Q: How much does AC repair typically cost?
A: It depends on the problem. At Kendrick, we offer flat-rate diagnostic pricing. We’ll tell you what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix it—before any work is done. No surprises. No pressure.
Q: Can I try to fix the AC myself?
A: You can check the thermostat, change your filter, and make sure the breaker hasn’t tripped. But for anything electrical, refrigerant-related, or mechanical—it’s safer (and cheaper in the long run) to call a pro.
Q: How fast can Kendrick get here if my AC breaks?
A: We offer same-day or next-day service in most cases, especially during hot Sacramento summers. Call early for the best chance at a same-day appointment.
Q: What’s included in a Kendrick AC diagnostic?
A: We’ll inspect the full system: refrigerant levels, electrical connections, airflow, thermostat function, and more. You’ll get a clear diagnosis and upfront repair options with no pressure to commit.
Q: Do your AC repairs come with any guarantees?
A: Yes! Our Fix It Right the First Time Guarantee means if the same issue comes back within 6 months and you followed all our repair recommendations, we’ll fix it again at no cost. That’s just how we do things.
Q: What if my AC is old—should I repair it or replace it?
A: If your system is 10+ years old, breaking down often, or inefficient, replacement might save you money in the long run. We’ll walk you through your options and never pressure you to replace if a repair makes sense.
Q: Do you service all AC brands?
A: Yes, our Kendrick Built technicians are trained to repair and service all major AC brands, including older systems.
