"The techs were good but $1100 for a thermostat repair is outrageous even subtracting the $400 emergency for a Saturday job. The salesman struggled to justify the numbers. Due to this experience I will not consider Grasshopper for a large upcoming project (AC heat pump)."

"My project was to upgrade to a more efficient Mitsubishi heat pump. I got a price from a local plumber/HVAC business. The price was high. Through Angi, I found this contractor. We started email and verbal conversations. I could tell from his voice and his expertise that I wouldn't be taking a chance. We negotiated a price more than half the price of the local vender. He followed up with a lower price after he did more research. Prior to the start of work, he prepared a well-written contract exchanged on-line. The estimated agreed start date was 3/10/2025. He arrived as promised on 3/10/2025 and my judge of character based upon our phone conversations proved very accurate. He is a fine young business person, and as I observed him, it was clear that he knew what he was doing. The job is complete. I am VERY highly satisfied. I already made a referral to a friend who also needs HVAC work. He earned five stars!"

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs
In most cases, you’ll never need a recharge unless the system develops a leak. If that happens, expect to top it off every two to three years—or sooner—until the leak is repaired. Keeping refrigerant at the right level lets your AC run efficiently and prevents extra wear on the compressor.
Plan on about 5 to 10 minutes per pound of refrigerant. Since each ton of cooling needs 2 to 4 pounds, a typical three-ton unit requires 6 to 12 pounds and roughly 30 minutes to 2 hours of work. Your tech will confirm the exact time once they know the size of your system and the amount of Freon it lost.
Skip the DIY. The EPA limits refrigerant sales and handling to certified technicians, and violators can face fines of up to $10,000. A licensed pro has the tools to find leaks, make repairs, and recharge the system safely. Hiring one keeps you on the right side of the law and protects your AC from costly mistakes.
Watch for ice on the evaporator coil, water pooling around the unit, frequent hissing, higher power bills, longer cooling cycles, or warm air from the vents. Spotting these red flags early lets you call a pro before efficiency drops and repair costs climb.
Coolant can escape when components crack or corrode, connectors loosen, factory defects slip through, or installation work leaves joints vulnerable. Years of vibration and wear also take a toll on seals and copper tubing. Because each cause calls for a different fix, let a licensed HVAC pro pin down the source and handle the repair.
