Do you have an AC Repair issue? Call R.J. Kielty for all of your AC Repair issues. We are available 24/7.
RJ Kielty's HVAC division handles a full range of AC repair services for residential and light commercial systems. Our technicians are trained on all major brands and system types, from single-stage units to variable-speed systems. Here's what we cover.
Every AC repair starts with a proper diagnosis. Our technicians use systematic testing procedures to identify the root cause, not just the symptom. We check electrical connections, measure refrigerant pressures, test capacitors, and evaluate airflow before recommending any repair.
This approach prevents the common problem of replacing parts that weren't actually broken. You get an accurate diagnosis, an upfront estimate, and a repair that addresses the real issue.
Florida heat doesn't follow business hours. When your AC fails on a Saturday night or during a holiday weekend, R.J. Kielty offers 24/7 emergency AC repair service. Our on-call technicians respond to urgent calls throughout Pasco County and surrounding areas.
Emergency situations include complete system failures, units tripping breakers repeatedly, and AC systems producing burning smells or unusual noises. Call us any time, we'll dispatch a technician to your location as quickly as possible.
Central AC systems are the most common type we service in New Port Richey. These split systems rely on indoor and outdoor components working together, and a failure in either side affects the entire system.
We repair fan motors, evaporator coils, contactors, drain lines, and control boards. If your central air is short cycling, freezing up, or running constantly without reaching the set temperature, these are signs of a fixable mechanical or electrical problem.
The compressor is the most expensive single component in your AC system. When it fails, you'll hear grinding or clicking from the outdoor unit, or the system will run without producing cold air. Our technicians test compressor function, check electrical draw, and inspect the condenser coil for debris buildup or damage.
In many cases, a failing compressor can be caught early during routine diagnostics. Hard starts, elevated amp readings, and intermittent cooling are all warning signs we look for. We also clean and inspect condenser coils, which take a beating from Pasco County's salt air, pollen, and afternoon storms.
A malfunctioning thermostat can mimic more serious AC problems. If your system won't turn on, cycles erratically, or doesn't match the set temperature, the thermostat is one of the first things we check.
We troubleshoot wiring issues, calibration errors, and compatibility problems between thermostats and HVAC systems. If you've recently upgraded to a smart thermostat and your system isn't responding correctly, we can diagnose the connection and configure it properly.
Low refrigerant is one of the most common causes of poor AC performance. Your system doesn't consume refrigerant; if levels are low, there's a leak somewhere. Simply topping off the charge without fixing the leak wastes money and harms the environment.
R.J. Kielty technicians use electronic leak detectors and nitrogen pressure testing to locate leaks in evaporator coils, line sets, and service valves. Once we find and repair the leak, we recharge the system to manufacturer specifications. We handle both R-410A and R-22 systems, including guidance for homeowners still running older R-22 equipment.
The air handler circulates conditioned air through your ductwork. A failing blower motor, clogged filter, or damaged ductwork can reduce airflow and force your system to work harder than necessary. This drives up energy bills and accelerates wear on other components.
We repair and replace blower motors, fan relays, and air handler components. For ductwork, we inspect for leaks, disconnections, and damage, especially in attic-mounted systems where Florida's extreme heat can degrade duct connections and insulation over time.

Capacitor replacement and refrigerant recharges are the most frequent AC repairs, especially in Florida's heat. Low refrigerant levels often result from slow leaks in aging systems, while capacitors wear out faster due to high temperatures and humidity.
AC service calls in New Port Richey typically range in price for diagnostics. Total repair costs depend on the specific issue. R.J. Kielty provides upfront pricing after diagnosis, with no surprise charges or unnecessary upsells.
Turn off your system immediately to avoid compressor strain. Check your thermostat settings and air filter. If the problem persists, contact a technician for a proper diagnostic to identify the root cause.
Regular AC maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and extends system lifespan. Annual inspections before summer season are recommended, especially in Florida's climate where systems run year-round and face harsh conditions.
Use the '$5,000 rule': multiply your unit's age by the repair cost estimate. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement often makes more financial sense. R.J. Kielty technicians provide honest assessments to help you decide.
Refrigerant absorbs heat from your home, enabling cooling. Systems don't consume refrigerant naturally; low levels indicate leaks in evaporator coils, line sets, or valves. R.J. Kielty uses electronic leak detectors to locate and repair leaks before recharging.
