How We Repair Your Rheem Air Conditioner
Air conditioners, mini-splits, window units, evaporative coolers and chillers move heat out using compressors or water evaporation, fans and controls.
Every Rheem model has its own parts list, so we start with the model and serial number on the rating label. That tells us the correct parts and any known issues or service bulletins for your unit.
Common Air Conditioner Problems We Fix
Swamp cooler not cooling
Dry or worn pads, a failed water pump or float valve.
Blowing warm air
A failed capacitor or contactor, low refrigerant, a dirty coil or a compressor problem.
Not turning on
A thermostat, fuse, breaker or control board issue.
Water leaking indoors
A clogged condensate drain or a failed condensate pump.
Ice on the lines or coil
Low airflow from a dirty filter or a refrigerant problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Rheem Air Conditioner Repair cost in Kentucky?
Most air conditioner repairs fall between $150–$600 including parts and labor. The final price depends on the part that failed and your model. You get an exact quote after the diagnosis and before any work starts.

Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Parts and labor are covered by our 90-day warranty. If the same problem comes back within that time, we return and fix it.
Do you work on all Rheem models?
We repair current and older Rheem models. Some discontinued parts can be hard to find; if that is the case for your model, we tell you before you pay for a repair.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
A air conditioner typically lasts about 10 to 15 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
