AC Repair in Orlando, FL

R.J. Kielty Plumbing, Air, Electric Inc. has been providing reliable HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services across Central Florida since 1973. Our Orlando branch at 9701 Bachman Rd specializes in diagnosing and repairing air conditioning systems for both residential and commercial properties. From refrigerant leaks to compressor failures, our trained technicians handle the full scope of AC issues Orlando residents face year-round.

AC repair in Orlando is something most homeowners and business owners will need at some point, usually at the worst possible time. Florida’s subtropical climate pushes cooling systems hard, often running them 8 to 10 months out of the year. That kind of demand leads to wear, breakdowns, and rising energy bills if problems go unaddressed.

AC Repair Services We Offer in Orlando

R.J. Kielty provides a full range of air conditioning repair services for homes and businesses across the Orlando area. Each service listed below reflects the real-world problems our technicians encounter and resolve on a daily basis.

Comprehensive AC Repair and Diagnostics

Every AC repair starts with an accurate diagnosis. Our technicians use professional-grade diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of cooling failures, unusual noises, short cycling, and airflow problems. We check electrical connections, refrigerant levels, coil condition, and system pressure before recommending any repair.

This approach prevents unnecessary part replacements and keeps costs transparent. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it before any work begins.

Emergency AC Repair in Orlando, 24/7 Availability

Orlando summers regularly push into the mid-90s, and indoor temperatures can climb fast when your AC goes down. R.J. Kielty offers 24-hour emergency AC repair Monday through Friday to handle urgent breakdowns when you need help most.

Our emergency response covers everything from total system failures to tripped breakers, frozen evaporator coils, and capacitor blowouts. We stock commonly needed parts on our service vehicles, which means many emergency repairs can be completed the same day.

Central Air Conditioning System Repair

Central air systems are the most common cooling setup in Orlando homes and commercial buildings. We repair all major brands and models, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and York. Common central AC repairs include blower motor replacement, ductwork leak sealing, drain line clearing, and control board repair.

If your system is blowing warm air, cycling on and off frequently, or producing weak airflow, these are signs your central AC needs professional attention.

AC Refrigerant Leak Detection and Recharge

Low refrigerant is one of the most common reasons an AC system stops cooling properly. A slow refrigerant leak can reduce cooling efficiency by 20% or more, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Our technicians locate leaks using electronic leak detectors and nitrogen pressure testing, then repair the source before recharging the system to manufacturer specifications.

Simply adding refrigerant without fixing the leak is a temporary patch that wastes money. We fix the problem at its source.

Thermostat Repair and Replacement

A malfunctioning thermostat can cause uneven temperatures, constant running, or a system that won’t turn on at all. We troubleshoot and repair both traditional and smart thermostats. If your thermostat is outdated or incompatible with your current system, we can install a programmable or Wi-Fi-enabled replacement that gives you better control over comfort and energy usage.

AC Compressor and Condenser Repair

The compressor and condenser are the most critical, and most expensive, components of your AC system. Compressor failure can result from electrical issues, refrigerant problems, or simple age. Condenser coils can become clogged with dirt and debris, especially during Orlando’s pollen-heavy spring months.

We repair and replace compressors, condenser fan motors, contactors, and coils. If your outdoor unit is making grinding or buzzing sounds, or if it’s running but not producing cold air, the compressor or condenser is likely involved.
