Repaired, and no pressure to replace

★★★★★

“Honest, on-time and professional service. They diagnosed and repaired our unit quickly and gave us an honest assessment of our aging unit. They did not pressure us to buy a new unit, but we will definitely use them when the time comes to replace it.”

sandy Cunningham, Google review

Called about my home AC

★★★★★

“Great experience with BHA. Called about my home AC and they came out that day. Also provided helpful tips and cost was very reasonable.”

Rock Par, Google review

A second price on a repair

★★★★★

“I found them because I had signed up for a service plan with one of their competitors. Last year when my system needed an actual repair, their competitors rewarded my loyalty with a bid for over $2K! Phil came out and fixed my system that day in about an hour for $200.”

George Hubert, Google review, July 2023

// AC Problems

Is Your AC Doing One Of These?

Any of these is worth a call. Whatever yours is doing, tell the office when you phone.

Blowing warm air

The blower runs but the air is not cool. A failed capacitor, a dirty coil or low refrigerant are common causes, and a technician has to test to know which.

Humming, but the fan is still

A humming outdoor unit whose fan is not turning, or one that clicks and goes quiet, needs a look before it runs longer.

Will not turn on

Try new thermostat batteries first. If the screen stays dark or nothing starts, call.

The breaker trips

Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips when the AC starts. Call and tell us when it trips.

Ice on the lines or the coil

Switch the system off at the thermostat so the ice can melt, then call.

Runs all afternoon

If the house keeps climbing, or the system cannot catch up the way it did last summer, call.

Cool in front, warm in back

Rooms far from the air handler stay warm while the system runs. A technician can tell whether it is the system or the airflow.

Smoke or a burning smell

Turn the system off at the thermostat, and at the breaker if you can do that safely, and call. For smoke or flames, call 911.

Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

// How An AC Repair Call Goes

From The First Call To Your Decision

Call the Roseville office

Jenn Fiechter books the call, Monday to Friday, 8 to 5. Tell her what the AC is doing: warm air, no start, ice, or a noise from the outdoor unit.

A technician diagnoses it

A Bronco technician finds the fault and explains it. Phillip Olmstead, the owner, still runs calls himself.

You hear the price

Diagnosis first, then a price for the repair. If the system is near the end of its life, you hear that too.

You decide

Repair it, wait, or price a replacement.

What We See In Roseville Air Conditioners

Roseville summers run above 100 degrees for stretches most years, and many Roseville houses are tract homes built between the 1970s and the 2000s. The air handler usually sits in the attic, and the single-stage condenser sits in a side yard. Single-stage means one speed: all out until the house reaches the set temperature, so a long hot stretch finds whatever is weak.

On those systems the usual failures are worn parts: a capacitor, a fan motor, a coil clogged with dust, or low refrigerant. A weak system limps through a mild week and quits in a hot one, so call when it first struggles, not when it stops.

Most of Roseville’s electricity comes from Roseville Electric, and an AC that runs all afternoon without cooling is spending it. The shop is at 373 Caldarella Cir, so Roseville is home turf for us. We book AC repair from Old Roseville and Diamond Oaks to Westpark, Fiddyment Farm, Stoneridge, Highland Reserve, Blue Oaks, Woodcreek Oaks and Sun City Roseville.

One Condenser, Before And After

A coil caked with dust and debris is one thing a technician can find on an AC repair call, and it is not the only one. Capacitors, fan motors, refrigerant and controls are others. Whatever it is, you hear what failed and what it costs before you decide.

When Repair Stops Making Sense

Many AC problems are repairs. A few are not, and you should hear which one yours is from the person looking at it, with the numbers side by side.

Repair usually makes sense when

Replacement is worth pricing when

★★★★★

“Outstanding company from the office, to each of the technicians. … We had the original heat pump (30- years old) and they kept it running during all the heat waves over the last few years until it finally needed to be replaced.”

Julia Maria, Google review, March 2024

If it comes to a replacement, California Title 24 requires a permit and duct testing on most of them, and the installation page covers what that involves. We install Amana, and Bronco offers financing through Wisetack.

A Cooling Tune-Up Every Spring

The Bronco maintenance plan is $14.49 a month per system, with a spring visit and a fall visit: a cooling tune-up in spring and a heating tune-up in fall. The spring visit puts a technician at your AC before the 100-degree stretch instead of during it. The tune-ups page explains how a tune-up differs from a repair.

AC Repair Questions

My AC is blowing warm air. Is that a repair or a replacement?

Often a repair. A failed capacitor, a dirty coil or low refrigerant can all blow warm air, and a technician has to test the system to know which. Replacement comes up when the failed part is a major one on an old system, and you hear both numbers.

It depends on what failed, so a technician diagnoses it first and you get a price for the repair before you decide. Ask Jenn what the visit involves when you call. If a repair turns into a replacement, Bronco offers financing through Wisetack.

The Roseville office is open Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, and Jenn books the calls. We are at 373 Caldarella Cir in Roseville. Call when you first notice the problem and tell her what the AC is doing.

If the system has failed, is not keeping up, or is doing something new, that is a repair: call, and a technician diagnoses it. Planned seasonal care is the maintenance plan, and the tune-ups page explains it.

No. We install and replace ductless mini-splits and water heaters, but we do not take repair or service calls on them. Central air, furnaces and heat pumps are what we repair.
