How Much Does AC and Heating Repair Cost?
The cost of AC or heating repair depends on the specific issue and the parts that need attention. Sometimes it’s as simple as recharging refrigerant or fixing a faulty blower motor, while more complex problems—like repairing car AC compressors, condensers, or heater cores—can be more expensive. The make and model of your vehicle also affect costs, especially for luxury or newer cars with advanced climate control systems. A professional inspection ensures you get an accurate estimate before any work begins.
Our AC & Heating System Warranty
At Eric’s Car Care, we stand behind the quality of every car AC repair service. Most of our repairs, including compressors, condensers, heaters, and related components, come with a 36-month or 36,000-mile TechNet warranty, whichever comes first. Enjoy comfort and peace of mind knowing your system remains protected long after leaving our shop.
Why an Auto Repair Shop is Better Than Mobile AC Repair?
While mobile mechanics may seem convenient, when it comes to climate control systems, precision, and reliability, a fully equipped repair shop is the clear choice.
- Advanced Equipment: Our shop uses lifts, refrigerant recovery machines, and climate diagnostic tools that mobile services don’t carry.
- Full-Service Repairs: From Freon recharges and blower motor replacements to compressor and heater core overhauls, our technicians can handle the complex jobs that mobile repairs cannot.
- Better Parts & Warranties: OEM-quality AC and heating components, backed by strong warranties, mean repairs that last and comfort you can trust.

I went in the shop preparing for a long wait, but was pleasantly surprised to be seen right away. By now the second stresser had kicked in, what was it going to cost? That worry was also not a worry at all when I was told the price. Good there to. The staff was also pleasant and courteous. I will definitely be back , but in the future from the beginning there will be no worries. Great job!

Eric’s has been proven to be trustworthy. The staff and service were both good. During a diagnostic on my vehicle I was informed that work done at another shop wasn’t correctly done and I should take my car back to the previous mechanic. I did and the work was re-done. Thank you Eric!

I stopped by 30 minutes before they closed hoping to get my headlight fixed but prepared to be asked to come back the next day. Not only did they fix my headlight but they also put air in my tires and fixed my license plate light in less than 15 minutes. Incredibly kind and efficient service.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes, the car AC uses gas because it runs on engine power, which increases fuel consumption slightly. However, modern systems are designed to be fuel-efficient.
Connect an AC recharge kit to the low-pressure port, start the engine, and turn the AC to max. Slowly add refrigerant while monitoring pressure levels, but don’t overfill.
Check for low refrigerant levels, a clogged cabin air filter, a faulty compressor, or leaks in the AC system, and recharge or repair as needed.
