How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality ac repair results from start to finish.
KIC Refrigeration begins every AC repair in Grimes, IA with a systematic assessment. We verify 24-volt control voltage at the thermostat, check high and low voltage wiring for damage, inspect the disconnect for burned contacts, confirm the breaker is properly sized, and visually inspect both indoor and outdoor units before powering up the system for testing.
We test capacitors, contactors, relays, and the compressor windings with a multimeter. We connect manifold gauges to measure suction and discharge pressures, calculate superheat and subcooling, and compare all readings to the manufacturer specification for your unit.
Our Grimes technician replaces the failed part with the correct replacement for your unit make, model, and tonnage. If the failure involves the sealed refrigerant system, we recover the charge, make the repair, pressure test with nitrogen, evacuate to below 500 microns, and weigh in the correct charge of R-410A or the specified refrigerant.
