Not Cooling
The unit runs but the air isn't cold. We check refrigerant charge, superheat and subcooling, the compressor, and airflow before quoting anything.

AC & HEAT PUMP REPAIR — PUYALLUP, WA
AC Repair in Puyallup
When a Pierce County heat wave rolls in, an AC that won't cool is miserable. We diagnose air conditioners, heat pumps and mini splits, quote the repair upfront, and get your house comfortable again.
Puyallup AC Repairs
Refrigerant Leaks
Low charge is a symptom, not the problem. We find and repair the leak instead of just topping it off and sending you a bill every summer.
Frozen Coils
Ice on the indoor coil or line set usually means restricted airflow or low charge. We fix the cause, not just the ice.
Heat Pump Repair
More Puyallup homes cool with heat pumps every year. We service reversing valves, defrost boards, inverters and outdoor fan motors.
Mini Split Service
Ductless systems need clean blower wheels and filters to cool properly. We service Mitsubishi, Midea, Daikin and other ductless brands.
Electrical & Controls
Failed capacitors, contactors, thermostats and low-voltage faults — the most common no-cool calls and usually the fastest fixes.
Cooling in a Valley That Holds the Heat
Puyallup's valley floor holds summer heat. When the coast is mild, Puyallup is often several degrees warmer, and recent summers have brought week-long stretches in the 90s. Air conditioning here has gone from luxury to necessity in less than a decade.
Because cooling systems sit idle most of the year, problems hide until the first genuinely hot stretch — then everything breaks at once. Capacitors that weakened over winter, condenser coils packed with cottonwood and fir debris, and slow refrigerant leaks all show up in the same few weeks.
South Hill's development boom also means thousands of homes with the same builder-grade systems hitting the same failure window at the same time. A capacitor here, a fan motor there — most of these are quick, honest fixes when they're diagnosed properly.
We diagnose the whole system — charge, airflow, electrical and controls — so the repair holds up through the rest of the season instead of failing again in three weeks.
