The cost of repairing a damaged air conditioner varies based on the nature of the issue and the type of air conditioner being repaired. The average cost of AC repairs is $300. However, air conditioning repair services can cost as little as $53 and as much as $1,500.
If you’re facing a particularly costly repair bill, we suggest using the 5000 Rule to determine whether it’s more cost-effective to replace the air conditioner instead. Multiply the cost of the repair by the age of the system, and if the total is greater than $5000, you should replace instead of repair the unit.
