What this is keeping at bay

The things that tend to go wrong with central air conditioning, and what they cost once they do.

• AC leaking water indoorsWater around an indoor AC unit is usually a clogged condensate drain line. Your AC pulls humidity out of the air, and that water has to drain somewhere — when the line clogs with algae or sludge, it backs up and overflows the drain pan. A frozen coil thawing, or a cracked pan, can cause the same thing.Urgent — days matter · Some steps you can try · $100–$450
• Ice on the AC unit or linesIce on an air conditioner almost always comes down to restricted airflow or low refrigerant. A dirty filter, blocked return vents, a failing blower, or a refrigerant leak lets the coil get cold enough to freeze condensation. Turn the system off and let it thaw before anything else — running it while frozen can damage the compressor.Urgent — days matter · Some steps you can try · $150–$700
• AC running but not coolingAn air conditioner that runs but doesn't cool is most often caused by a dirty air filter, a blocked outdoor unit, low refrigerant from a leak, or a frozen evaporator coil. Start by checking the filter and the outdoor unit — those two account for a large share of calls and cost nothing to rule out.Address soon · Some steps you can try · $150–$650

What this work costs

Published typical ranges, not a quote for your job.

• AC repair costMost air conditioning repairs fall between $150 and $650, with a diagnostic fee of roughly $75–$200 that many companies credit toward the work. Capacitor replacement is among the cheapest common repairs; compressor failure is the most expensive and usually prompts a replace-or-repair decision.$400
• AC replacement costReplacing a central air conditioning system typically costs $5,500–$12,000 installed for a standard home, with most falling around $8,000. Replacing the full system including the furnace or air handler, or upgrading ductwork, moves you toward and past the top of that range.$8,000
