Quick answer
We are a family-owned company based in Irvine, so AC calls in Woodbridge, Northwood, Woodbury, Turtle Rock, Portola Springs, the Great Park and every other village usually get a same-day slot — which matters most on the Santa Ana wind days when systems that idled all year suddenly fail. The AC service call is free, and our work is limited to minor service and repairs under $1,000: capacitors, contactors, thermostats, coil cleaning, drain lines and small refrigerant repairs. We do not install or replace systems. Repairs carry a 90-day parts and labor warranty — if nothing turns on at all, our AC won't turn on guide covers the free checks to do first.
Irvine summers are mild — right up until the Santa Ana winds push temperatures into the 90s, and that's exactly when air conditioners fail, because they're suddenly working harder than they have all year. Alpha & Omega is a family-owned company based in Irvine, so when your AC quits during a heat wave you're calling a neighbor, not a call center. Same-day air conditioner repair across Woodbridge, Northwood, Woodbury, Turtle Rock, Portola Springs, the Great Park, and every other Irvine village — (310) 600-8152.
AC Problems We Fix in Irvine
- AC running but not cooling — dirty condenser coils, failed capacitors, refrigerant leaks, frozen evaporator coils. While you wait, read why an AC blows warm air.
- AC won't turn on at all — thermostats, breakers, float switches, contactors; our step-by-step guide covers the free checks you can do first.
- Weak airflow — clogged filters, blower motor and capacitor failures, crushed or leaking ducts.
- Short-cycling — the unit starts and stops every few minutes, wearing itself out and cooling nothing.
- Water around the indoor unit — clogged condensate drains, a common cause of ceiling stains in two-story Irvine homes; see why an AC leaks water.
- Ice on the unit or lines — a frozen AC means an airflow or refrigerant problem; see why an AC freezes up.
- Loud outdoor unit — failing fan motors and compressors caught early cost far less than caught late.
Refrigerant Work Done Right
Handling refrigerant is EPA-regulated: our technicians are EPA Section 608 Universal certified. If your system is low, something is leaking — simply topping it off wastes money and vents refrigerant, so we locate and fix the leak first. That's the honest way, and it's also the EPA-compliant way.
Stop the Next Breakdown Before It Starts
Most emergency AC calls were preventable. Our annual AC maintenance & tune-up — coils, capacitors, refrigerant charge, condensate drain — is best booked in spring, before the first heat wave.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you fix an AC in Irvine?
We are based in Irvine, so during a heat wave we can usually get to you the same day. Call (310) 600-8152 early — afternoon slots fill first on hot days.
My AC runs but blows warm air. What's wrong?
The usual suspects are a dirty condenser coil, a failed capacitor, a refrigerant leak, or a frozen evaporator coil from a clogged filter. Start with the AC not cooling guide.
My air conditioner won't turn on at all. What should I check first?
Thermostat batteries and settings, the breaker panel, and the outdoor disconnect — free checks that take five minutes. The AC not turning on guide walks through them safely.
Do you service commercial rooftop units in Irvine?
Yes — rooftop package units for Irvine restaurants, offices, and retail get priority scheduling. Mention it's a commercial call when you phone.
