AC Repair Process Brookline

Here's How We Get You Cooled

First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong with your system. Not just the obvious symptom, but the underlying issue causing your AC to fail. This means checking electrical connections, refrigerant levels, airflow, and all the components that need to work together.

Next, we explain what we found in plain language. You’ll know exactly what needs fixing, why it failed, and what it’ll take to get your system running reliably again. No technical jargon, no pressure tactics.

Then we make the repair using quality parts that are built to last in New England’s demanding climate. We test everything before we leave to make sure your AC is cooling properly and efficiently. You’ll know it’s working because you can feel the difference immediately.

AC Unit Tune Up Brookline

What's Included in Every Service

Every AC repair service includes a complete system evaluation, not just a quick fix. We check your air filter, clean your coils, test your thermostat calibration, and inspect all the components that keep your system running efficiently.

You also get honest advice about whether a repair makes sense or if you’re throwing good money after bad. Sometimes a 15-year-old unit with a major compressor failure needs replacement, not another expensive repair. We will provide you with honest advice.

Our Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling, which means you’re not waiting three days for service when your AC dies during a heat wave. Members also get discounts on repairs and regular maintenance that prevent most emergency breakdowns from happening in the first place.

Most AC repairs in Brookline can be completed the same day you call, especially during regular business hours. Emergency breakdowns during heat waves get priority scheduling. The actual repair time depends on what’s wrong—a simple capacitor replacement takes about 30 minutes, while a refrigerant leak might need 2-3 hours to properly locate, repair, and recharge the system. We carry common parts on our trucks, so most repairs don’t require a second trip to finish the job.
Brookline’s older homes often have undersized ductwork that makes AC systems work harder than they should. This leads to frozen coils, compressor failures, and high energy bills. Electrical issues are also common in homes with older wiring that wasn’t designed for modern AC loads. Dirty coils from the area’s tree pollen and humidity cause reduced cooling and efficiency problems. Regular maintenance prevents most of these issues, but when they do happen, proper diagnosis is critical to avoid repeat failures.
If your AC is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of replacement, replacing it usually makes sense. Units over 15 years old with major component failures like compressor or heat exchanger problems are often better candidates for replacement. Other signs pointing toward replacement include frequent repairs, dramatically higher energy bills, and inability to keep your home comfortable even when running constantly. A good technician will give you honest advice about which option makes more financial sense for your specific situation.
Yes, Dempsey Energy services all major AC brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and others commonly found in Brookline homes. We train our technicians to service both newer high-efficiency units and older systems that may require more difficult-to-find parts. We maintain relationships with multiple suppliers to get quality replacement parts quickly. Whether you have a basic single-stage unit or a variable-speed system with advanced controls, we have the experience to diagnose and repair it properly.
Check your circuit breaker first—sometimes a tripped breaker is the only problem. Replace your air filter if it’s dirty, as a clogged filter can cause the system to shut down. Close blinds and avoid using heat-generating appliances like ovens or dryers during the hottest part of the day. If you have ceiling fans, use them to circulate air and make the temperature feel cooler. Don’t keep adjusting your thermostat lower—if the system isn’t cooling, lowering the setting won’t help and might make some problems worse.
Regular maintenance is the best prevention—annual tune-ups catch small problems before they become expensive failures. Change your air filter every 1-3 months depending on usage and household conditions. Keep your outdoor unit clear of leaves, grass clippings, and debris that block airflow. Don’t close too many vents in unused rooms, as such actions can cause pressure imbalances that strain the system. Pay attention to unusual sounds, smells, or performance changes and call for service before a small issue becomes a major breakdown during the hottest week of summer.
