When your AC breaks down during a heat wave, you need more than just a quick fix. You need a solution that works. Our NATE-certified technicians understand exactly what Massachusetts summers throw at your cooling system.
High humidity doesn’t just make you uncomfortable—it forces your AC to work overtime, leading to breakdowns and sky-high energy bills. We fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.
You get reliable cooling that handles both the heat and the humidity. Your family stays comfortable, your energy bills stay reasonable, and you sleep soundly knowing your system won’t let you down when you need it most.
We’ve been keeping Swansea families comfortable for over three decades. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or a big corporation that doesn’t know your neighborhood.
We understand how Massachusetts humidity can overwhelm even good AC systems. We know which brands hold up best in our climate and which shortcuts other companies take that cost you money later.
Our technicians live and work in this community. When your AC fails on the hottest day of the year, we’re the team your neighbors call because they know we’ll show up ready to fix it right the first time.
We start with an honest assessment. Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck and diagnostic tools to identify exactly what’s wrong with your system. No guessing, no unnecessary parts.
You get upfront pricing before any work begins. We explain what needs to be fixed, why it failed, and what it’ll cost. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when the job’s done.
Once you approve the repair, we get to work with quality parts and proven techniques. We test everything thoroughly before we leave, so you know your AC will keep running when the next heat wave hits. Most repairs are completed the same day.

Massachusetts summers are tough on AC systems. The combination of heat and humidity creates problems that generic repair services often miss. We handle everything from simple capacitor replacements to complex refrigerant leaks.
Swansea’s coastal location means your outdoor unit faces salt air and temperature swings that stress components. We stock parts specifically chosen for our local conditions and know which repairs will actually last in this environment.
Whether it’s a compressor that’s struggling with humidity loads, ductwork that’s leaking conditioned air, or an oversized system that short-cycles, we’ve seen it all. Our repairs address the real problem, not just the immediate symptom, so you get lasting comfort and reliability.
Most AC repairs in our area range from $200 to $800, depending on what’s wrong with your system. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or cleaning a clogged drain line typically cost $150-$300. More complex repairs involving refrigerant leaks or compressor issues can run $500-$1,200.
We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Our diagnostic fee is applied toward any repair work we complete, and we never surprise you with hidden charges or inflated parts costs.
The key is catching problems early. A $200 repair today often prevents a $2,000 emergency replacement later. That’s why we recommend annual maintenance to spot issues before they become expensive failures.
This is one of the most common problems we see in Swansea, especially during humid summer months. Usually, it’s either a refrigerant leak, a dirty evaporator coil, or an airflow problem that’s preventing proper cooling.
Refrigerant leaks are particularly common in our coastal climate. Salt air can corrode coils over time, causing slow leaks that gradually reduce your system’s cooling capacity. You might notice the AC running constantly but never reaching the temperature you set.
Dirty coils are another culprit. When dust and debris build up on the evaporator coil, it can’t absorb heat effectively. The system runs, but it’s like trying to cool your house through a dirty blanket. A thorough cleaning usually restores full cooling capacity.
We understand that AC failures don’t wait for convenient times. During peak summer months, we prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within 2-4 hours during business hours. For after-hours emergencies, we offer 24/7 service with response times usually under 6 hours.
Our trucks are fully stocked with the most common repair parts, so we can often fix your problem on the first visit. We don’t want you and your family suffering through a hot, humid night because we had to order parts.
Emergency service does carry additional charges for after-hours calls, but we’re upfront about those costs when you call. Sometimes waiting until morning makes sense for minor issues, but we’ll help you decide what’s truly urgent versus what can wait.
If your AC is over 12 years old and needs a major repair costing more than $1,000, replacement usually makes more sense. Older systems are less efficient, use outdated refrigerant, and tend to need frequent repairs that add up quickly.
However, if your system is less than 10 years old and well-maintained, most repairs are worth doing. A $600 compressor repair on a 7-year-old system gives you several more years of reliable service. The same repair on a 15-year-old system is often throwing good money after bad.
We’ll always give you honest advice about whether a repair makes financial sense. Sometimes a smaller repair buys you time to plan and budget for a replacement during the off-season when prices are better. We’re not here to oversell you—we want you to make the decision that’s right for your situation.
Annual maintenance is essential in Massachusetts because our humid summers put extra stress on AC systems. We recommend scheduling service in late spring before the heat hits, so any problems are caught early.
During a maintenance visit, we clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical components, and inspect for potential issues. We also clean or replace filters and check that your system is properly handling humidity loads—crucial in our climate.
Our Dempsey Comfort Club maintenance plans include priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and seasonal reminders so you never forget to schedule service. Members rarely experience emergency breakdowns because we catch and fix small problems before they become big, expensive failures.
This is a classic Massachusetts summer problem. Your AC removes some humidity, but it’s designed primarily to cool air, not dehumidify it. When outdoor humidity levels hit 80-85% like they do here in August, even a good AC system can struggle.
Oversized AC units are often the culprit. They cool the air quickly and shut off before running long enough to remove moisture. The result is a house that feels cool but clammy—not truly comfortable.
Sometimes the solution is adjusting your system’s operation or adding a whole-house dehumidifier. Other times, it’s sealing air leaks that let humid outdoor air sneak into your home. We can assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution to get your humidity under control.
