AC Repair in Cheney

Spokane AC Repair Pros provides AC repair throughout Cheney and the greater Spokane, WA area.

Cheney is a small college town about 16 miles southwest of Spokane, home to Eastern Washington University. A lot of the housing is rental stock built around the university in the 1960s and 70s, alongside older single-family homes in the original townsite. It's also the seat of Spokane County government. The rental-heavy housing market means AC equipment often gets deferred maintenance for years before anyone calls for service.

Spokane summers hit hard. Temperatures in the Inland Northwest regularly climb above 100 degrees in July and August, and an AC unit that quits during a heat wave is a real health problem, not just a comfort issue. A lot of the homes in South Hill and the Garland District were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and the cooling equipment in those houses is either original or was replaced on the cheap. Old refrigerant lines, undersized units, and coils that have never been cleaned are common problems we see every season.

We start by checking the whole system before we tell you what it needs — refrigerant levels, electrical connections, coil condition, and airflow through the ducts. Some contractors skip the full check and just recharge the refrigerant, which is like putting air in a tire that has a nail in it.
