Customer Rating
Mike has been diagnosing and repairing AC systems across St Thomas for 17 years — the last 12 with Handy Bros. He’s factory – authorized for both Carrier and Trane, and he’s the tech other companies’ customers call after being told they need a full replacement. He saves the unit more often than not.

AC Repair ·The Spires
“Called at 8am on the hottest day of the year — 36°C with the humidex at 48. Tech was at my door by 11:30. Bad capacitor. Fixed in under an hour. Price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. I’ve been using Handy Bros. for 12 years and they’ve never once let me down.”

Refrigerant Recharge · Art Village
“My Carrier had been slowly losing cooling capacity for two summers. Two other companies told me to just replace it. Handy Bros. found the leak at the Schrader valve, fixed it, recharged the refrigerant, and my 9-year- old unit is running better than it has in years. Saved me at least $5,000.”

New AC Install · Dalewood
“Our 17-year-old Lennox finally gave up. Handy Bros. came out Tuesday, assessed the house properly (two other quotes didn’t even measure the square footage), and had a new Trane installed by Thursday. The 0% financing made the decision easy. Couldn’t be happier house has never been this comfortable.”

Emergency AC Repair · Shaw Valley
“Called on a Sunday evening — my elderly mother’s AC had stopped and it was still 31°C at 8pm. They had someone there by 9. Contactor had burned out. Replaced on the spot. I expected to pay a huge emergency premium but the bill was completely fair. Absolute lifesavers.”

Goodman AC Repair · Old South
“Ice was forming on my indoor unit. Looked it up, figured it was refrigerant. Handy Bros. came and it was actually a blocked condensate drain causing freeze-up a $120 fix, not the $400 refrigerant job I expected. They could have easily told me it was refrigerant and I never would have known. Trust these guys completely.”

Emergency AC St Thomas
When it’s 36°C and your AC stops — especially with elderly family, young kids, or medical needs in the home — you don’t get a voicemail. You get a person, a real ETA, and a licensed tech at your door.

High-Concern Situations — Call Immediately
Complete AC Failure During a Heat Advisory
A heat-related health risk — especially for seniors, children, and anyone with a medical condition. This is an emergency call, not a scheduled appointment.
Burning Smell or Electrical Odour
Turn the unit off at the breaker immediately. A burning smell signals an electrical fault that poses a fire risk. Do not restart the system.
Refrigerant Leak (Hissing Sound + Ice)
Refrigerant is a regulated substance. A leak needs certified handling — turn off the unit and call. Running a leaking system damages the compressor.
AC Tripping the Circuit Breaker Repeatedly
A breaker that trips more than once signals a serious electrical draw issue — usually a failing compressor or wiring fault. Don't keep resetting it.
Water Actively Flooding from the Air Handler
A blocked drain combined with a frozen-then-thawed coil can overflow the drain pan quickly. Shut off the unit and call — water damage escalates fast.
Storm Damage to the Outdoor Unit
Hail, falling branches, or debris strikes can damage the condenser coil, fan, or refrigerant lines. Have it inspected before restarting.
No Surprises. Ever.
