Air Conditioning Repair in Richmond, BC

Air Conditioning Repair for Richmond homes

When the AC quits during a heat wave you need it back fast. CANRO repairs central air conditioners and heat-pump cooling across the region, with certified refrigerant handling and no shortcuts. Richmond sits on the flat Fraser River delta near sea level - from the high-rises of Brighouse to the heritage fishing village of Steveston and large homes in Terra Nova and Hamilton.

Richmond's low elevation and high water table mean equipment placement, drainage and condensate handling need extra care - something we plan for on every install here. Richmond has a mild, windy, damp coastal climate on one of the region's flattest, lowest-lying sites, and we factor that into every recommendation. On the delta we pay special attention to drainage, condensate routing and equipment height - details that protect your system in a low-lying, damp setting.

Signs your AC needs repair

• The AC runs but the house won't cool down
• Warm air coming from the vents
• The outdoor unit won't start, or keeps tripping the breaker
• Ice on the refrigerant lines or the indoor coil
• Water pooling around the indoor unit
• Loud or grinding noises from the condenser
• Weak airflow or constant short cycling

How we repair your air conditioner

• A full diagnostic - refrigerant charge, compressor, capacitor, contactor, coils, condensate and controls
• Upfront pricing before any repair
• Proper, certified refrigerant handling - no venting, no shortcuts
• A performance check so it actually cools to spec
• Honest repair-versus-replace advice for older units
