AC repair in Windsor means working against the clock — humidity, heat waves, and months of non-stop runtime stress every capacitor, contactor, and coil in the system. When it stops, you need a team that answers, shows up, and fixes the actual problem the first time.
We’ll call to confirm within the hour.

AC Repair · Windsor East
“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 · LaSalle
“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 · Tecumseh
“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 · Amherstburg
“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 · Windsor West
“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.”

AC Not Working?
Emergency AC Windsor
When it is 36°C and your air conditioning stops — especially with elderly family, young children, or medical needs in the home — you do not get a voicemail. You get a person, a real ETA, and a licensed technician at your door. Windsor summers do not wait for business hours, and neither do we.

High-Concern Situations — Call Immediately
A heat-related health risk — particularly for seniors, children, and anyone with a cardiovascular or respiratory condition. This is an emergency call, not a scheduled appointment. Call directly.
Turn the unit off at the breaker immediately. A burning smell indicates an electrical fault — a failing capacitor, shorted wiring, or a motor drawing too much current. Do not restart the system until it has been inspected.
Refrigerant is a regulated substance that requires certified handling. A hissing sound combined with ice on the lines is a clear sign of a leak. Turn off the unit and call — running a leaking system damages the compressor.
A breaker that trips more than once after being reset signals a serious electrical draw issue — typically a failing compressor, a short in the wiring, or a motor pulling too many amps. Do not keep resetting it.
A blocked condensate drain combined with a frozen-then-thawed coil can overflow the drain pan quickly. Shut off the unit and call — water damage to walls, ceilings, and electrical components escalates fast.

Common Questions
Need Help Now?
The general rule is that if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the cost of a new unit and the system is more than 10 years old, replacement is worth considering. But it depends on the specific fault — a failed capacitor on a 12-year-old system is still a straightforward repair. A seized compressor on the same unit is a different conversation. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment of both options and what each will actually cost long-term, without pressure either way.
Yes. For most calls booked before noon, we have a technician available the same day across Windsor-Essex. For emergency situations — complete failure during a heat advisory, elderly or medically vulnerable household members, or any urgent safety concern — call directly rather than booking online. We prioritize those calls.
A diagnostic visit takes 60 to 90 minutes. Most component repairs — capacitor, contactor, drain line, fan motor — are completed in the same visit, typically under two hours total. Refrigerant leaks take longer because the leak has to be located, repaired, and pressure-tested before recharging. Full replacements are usually completed in a single day.
Yes. Qualifying high-efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps may be eligible for government rebates of $1,000 or more through programs like the Canada Greener Homes Grant and Ontario rebate programs. We handle the paperwork and submission for qualifying installs. Ask about current eligible models and rebate amounts when you book your free in-home assessment — programs and eligibility change regularly.
