    How AC Repair Works at Western Pacific

    We do this the way we’d want it done at our own home:

    • $250 diagnostic fee. That covers travel and the first 30 minutes on site so our technician can actually find the problem instead of guessing.
    • Repair quote before any work. You see the price and approve it before we touch anything.
    • No after-hours or emergency surcharges — we don’t run after-hours service. We answer the phone Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and we’ll get you on the schedule fast.
    • Season Saver Members ($389/year, or $289 during the Spring Promo) get the diagnostic fee waived on every call, plus 15% off the repair.

    Common AC Problems We Repair

    Most cooling calls in Vancouver fall into one of these buckets:

    • AC running but not cooling — usually low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor, a stuck contactor, or a frozen evaporator coil from restricted airflow.
    • AC won’t turn on at all — thermostat, breaker, blown fuse on the disconnect, failed contactor, or a blown control board.
    • Outdoor unit running, indoor blower not — bad blower motor, blower capacitor, or control board.
    • Short cycling (turns on and off every couple of minutes) — overcharge, undersized return air, dirty filter, or a failing pressure switch.
    • Ice on the line set or indoor coil — restricted airflow, low charge, or a failing TXV/metering device.
    • Loud or vibrating outdoor unit — failing compressor, fan motor bearings, or loose mounting.
    • Water leaking from the indoor unit — clogged condensate line, cracked drain pan, or a slipped trap.
    • Mini-split flashing error codes — communication faults, sensor failures, inverter board issues, or refrigerant charge issues.

    If you’re not sure what you’re looking at, just call. That’s what the diagnostic is for.

    Should You Repair or Replace Your AC?

    The honest answer is “it depends” — and any company that gives you a one-size-fits-all answer is selling you, not helping you. Here’s the math we walk customers through:

    • Repair makes sense when the unit is under 10 years old, the failure is a single component (capacitor, contactor, fan motor, control board), and the repair quote is under about 30% of replacement cost.
    • Replace makes sense when the unit is 12+ years old, uses R-22 refrigerant (banned in Canada — refrigerant is now extremely expensive and limited), the compressor or coil has failed, or you’re stacking up a third or fourth repair in as many years.

    If replacement is the right answer, we’ll quote a new system at no cost — and depending on what you choose, you may qualify for significant CleanBC and Canada Greener Homes rebates when you upgrade to a heat pump. As an HPCN-registered contractor, our installs qualify for those programs.
