A clear, step-by-step approach to every ac repair project we take on.
We assess your air conditioning problem — no cooling, weak airflow, strange noises, ice buildup, or short cycling — and perform a safety check on electrical connections, circuit breaker, disconnect, and thermostat wiring before beginning hands-on diagnostics.
KIC Refrigeration diagnoses AC failures in Travilah, MD with precision electrical and refrigerant testing. We check capacitors within 6 percent of rated microfarads, measure contactor coil resistance, verify compressor winding resistance for shorts and opens, and test the refrigerant circuit — comparing suction pressure, discharge pressure, subcooling, and superheat to the manufacturer target values for the current outdoor ambient temperature.
Our Travilah technician replaces the failed part with the correct replacement for your unit make, model, and tonnage. If the failure involves the sealed refrigerant system, we recover the charge, make the repair, pressure test with nitrogen, evacuate to below 500 microns, and weigh in the correct charge of R-410A or the specified refrigerant.
We run the system for a minimum of 15 minutes, measure the temperature split across the evaporator coil (target: 16 to 22 degrees), verify suction and discharge pressures, check condenser fan and blower motor amperage, and confirm the thermostat cycles the system off at setpoint.
Common questions about ac repair costs, timelines, and what to expect.
AC repair in Travilah typically costs $150 to $500 for common component failures including run capacitors ($150 to $250), contactors ($150 to $350), condenser fan motors ($250 to $500), and blower motors ($300 to $600). Compressor replacement is the most expensive repair at $1,500 to $3,500 depending on unit tonnage and whether the system uses R-410A or older R-22 refrigerant. Evaporator coil replacement runs $800 to $2,500 including the refrigerant recovery and recharge. KIC Refrigeration provides a detailed written estimate with itemized parts and labor costs before beginning any AC repair at your Travilah property so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Most AC repairs in Travilah are completed in 1 to 2 hours during a single service visit. Capacitor and contactor replacements are quick fixes that take 15 to 30 minutes of hands-on time. Fan motor and blower motor replacements take 1 to 2 hours including wiring and testing. Compressor replacement is the most time-intensive repair at 3 to 6 hours because it requires refrigerant recovery with an EPA-certified machine, compressor removal, new compressor installation, nitrogen-purged brazing, pressure testing at 300 PSI, evacuation to below 500 microns, and recharging by weight. KIC Refrigeration arrives at your Travilah home with a fully stocked truck to complete most repairs in a single visit.
