AC Repair Services We Offer in New Port Richey
RJ Kielty’s HVAC division handles a full range of AC repair services for residential and light commercial systems. Our technicians are trained on all major brands and system types, from single-stage units to variable-speed systems. Here’s what we cover.
AC Repair and Diagnostics
Every AC repair starts with a proper diagnosis. Our technicians use systematic testing procedures to identify the root cause, not just the symptom. We check electrical connections, measure refrigerant pressures, test capacitors, and evaluate airflow before recommending any repair.
This approach prevents the common problem of replacing parts that weren’t actually broken. You get an accurate diagnosis, an upfront estimate, and a repair that addresses the real issue.
Emergency AC Repair, Available 24/7
Florida heat doesn’t follow business hours. When your AC fails on a Saturday night or during a holiday weekend, R.J. Kielty offers 24/7 emergency AC repair service. Our on-call technicians respond to urgent calls throughout Pasco County and surrounding areas.
Emergency situations include complete system failures, units tripping breakers repeatedly, and AC systems producing burning smells or unusual noises. Call us any time, we’ll dispatch a technician to your location as quickly as possible.
Central Air Conditioning System Repair
Central AC systems are the most common type we service in New Port Richey. These split systems rely on indoor and outdoor components working together, and a failure in either side effects the entire system.
We repair fan motors, evaporator coils, contactors, drain lines, and control boards. If your central air is short cycling, freezing up, or running constantly without reaching the set temperature, these are signs of a fixable mechanical or electrical problem.
AC Compressor and Condenser Repair
The compressor is the most expensive single component in your AC system. When it fails, you’ll hear grinding or clicking from the outdoor unit, or the system will run without producing cold air. Our technicians test compressor function, check electrical draw, and inspect the condenser coil for debris buildup or damage.
In many cases, a failing compressor can be caught early during routine diagnostics. Hard starts, elevated amp readings, and intermittent cooling are all warning signs we look for. We also clean and inspect condenser coils, which take a beating from Pasco County’s salt air, pollen, and afternoon storms.
Thermostat Troubleshooting and Repair
A malfunctioning thermostat can mimic more serious AC problems. If your system won’t turn on, cycles erratically, or doesn’t match the set temperature, the thermostat is one of the first things we check.
We troubleshoot wiring issues, calibration errors, and compatibility problems between thermostats and HVAC systems. If you’ve recently upgraded to a smart thermostat and your system isn’t responding correctly, we can diagnose the connection and configure it properly.
Refrigerant Leak Detection and Recharge
Low refrigerant is one of the most common causes of poor AC performance. Your system doesn’t consume refrigerant, if levels are low, there’s a leak somewhere. Simply topping off the charge without fixing the leak wastes money and harms the environment.
R.J. Kielty technicians use electronic leak detectors and nitrogen pressure testing to locate leaks in evaporator coils, line sets, and service valves. Once we find and repair the leak, we recharge the system to manufacturer specifications. We handle both R-410A and R-22 systems, including guidance for homeowners still running older R-22 equipment.
Air Handler and Ductwork Repair
The air handler circulates conditioned air through your ductwork. A failing blower motor, clogged filter, or damaged ductwork can reduce airflow and force your system to work harder than necessary. This drives up energy bills and accelerates wear on other components.
We repair and replace blower motors, fan relays, and air handler components. For ductwork, we inspect for leaks, disconnections, and damage, especially in attic-mounted systems where Florida’s extreme heat can degrade duct connections and insulation over time.
