We've ranked the top 10 air conditioning repair companies that operate within 50 miles of Camden. We base our ranking off average customer ratings weighted against the number of reviews. For more information, check out our full methodology.
A malfunctioning air conditioning system can be a headache in the middle of summer. An AC repair pro in the Camden area can get your air conditioning system back up and running before the heat sets in.
Air conditioning issues occur for many reasons, and it’s better to hire an experienced AC repair company than diagnose the problem yourself.
Air conditioning repair technicians are trained to safely handle electrical problems and work with refrigerants. Refrigerants are hazardous substances that require a license to handle.
Your AC unit is an essential home system, especially during the hot summer months. Get an AC repair pro suitable for your budget by requesting estimates from multiple companies.
Look for AC repair companies in Camden with at least 3.5 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews and a good rating on Better Business Bureau (BBB). Use the filters below to help you find the right company for your needs.
Below are additional air conditioning repair companies that didn’t make our top picks based on their distance, ratings or service offerings.
Here are some signs that your air conditioning system needs repairs:
keep these factors in mind when deciding on the best AC repair company for you in Camden.
Check your AC repair company for licensing and insurance. The New Jersey State Board of Examiners of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) Contractors requires HVAC contractors to maintain proper licensing. HVAC pros who work with refrigerants must be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). AC repair pros also need a surety or cash bond and worker’s compensation insurance.
While not mandatory, there are national accreditations for AC pros, such as the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Having a certification from one of these professional associations offers proof of a technician's expertise and ability in the field.
It's standard for AC repair companies to offer free estimates in which a professional assesses the problem, offers solutions and gives you a quote. Pay attention to how comprehensive the company is during the inspection.
Ask for itemized estimates from several providers to compare costs. Reviewing several quotes gives you a better idea of the average price range in your area. Use caution with companies that have abnormally high or low rates.
Ask about the AC repair company’s familiarity with your AC's brand. Technicians with experience servicing your particular system generally provide higher-quality repairs.
Your family and friends may have personal recommendations for local AC repair companies. Regardless, make sure to look up each company's online reviews.
Read feedback from past customers to get a sense of their experience with the company, and look for consistently bad reviews or a recent rise in negative reviews.
Here are the most common AC unit types in Camden and which homes they’re most suitable for:
