This can also depend on the specific problem and how a technician identifies it. But if you can provide some info about what you think is wrong, we can get to the repair itself that much sooner. Here are some general timelines you can expect from certain repair jobs:
Weak/poor cooling – This can depend on the problem itself. For example, if cooling is weak because your air filter is clogged, switching the filter is fast and easy. But if it’s because your air conditioner wasn’t properly sized for your home, replacing the entire system may be the right choice. Full AC replacement can take a day.
Low coolant levels – Replenishing the refrigerant supply can usually be handled in a few hours. But if the coolant levels are low because your AC unit’s coils cracked, we may suggest replacing the system.
Damaged compressor – Replacing the compressor usually takes about four hours.
Blowing warm air – Warm air from your air conditioner is often because of a dirty condenser. Cleaning it enough to prevent your AC from blowing warm air can take around one or two hours.
