Same-Day AC Repair Across Surrey
An air conditioner that blows warm air, freezes up with ice on the refrigerant lines, or leaks water onto your floor is not something that can wait during a Surrey heat wave. Eaton's Heating provides same-day air conditioner repair across all Surrey neighborhoods from our Coquitlam base. Our technicians carry capacitors, contactors, fan motors, and control boards on every truck. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. We service all major AC brands including Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Bryant, and more. Every service call starts with a flat-rate $189 diagnostic, and all additional work is quoted upfront before we proceed.

Air conditioning systems in Surrey sit idle for eight or nine months, then run hard during concentrated summer heat that now regularly pushes into the high 30s. That long idle period allows capacitors to weaken, contactors to corrode, and refrigerant connections to develop slow leaks. When homeowners turn their AC on for the first time in June or July, these dormant problems surface all at once. We see a surge of AC repair calls every summer from South Surrey, Panorama Ridge, Newton, and Fleetwood as systems that ran fine last September fail to start or cool properly after months sitting unused.
The most common AC repairs we handle in Surrey include failed run and start capacitors that prevent the compressor from engaging, refrigerant leaks that cause ice buildup on the evaporator coil and reduced cooling output, clogged condensate drains that cause water to back up and leak inside the home, contactor failures that prevent the outdoor unit from turning on, fan motor failures in both the indoor blower and outdoor condenser, and compressor hard-start issues or electrical failures. Older systems still running R-22 refrigerant face an additional challenge: R-22 is no longer manufactured in Canada, and the cost of sourcing remaining supply has climbed significantly. For these systems, we provide clear guidance on whether a refrigerant top-up or full system replacement makes more financial sense.
Surrey's climate adds specific diagnostic considerations. The damp coastal air means condensate production is higher than in drier regions, and drain lines clog more frequently. Homes in Fraser Heights and Bear Creek with outdoor units positioned near gardens or landscaping deal with debris restricting airflow across the condenser coil. Cloverdale townhomes with limited clearance around the outdoor unit can experience heat recirculation that reduces cooling performance and triggers high-pressure safety shutoffs.
We are a FortisBC Trade Ally, BBB A+ rated, and Technical Safety BC licensed under LGA0200006 with over 20 years of air conditioner repair experience across Greater Vancouver. Our 400+ five-star Google reviews and 4.9 average rating reflect accurate diagnostics that identify root causes rather than symptoms. Our diagnostic process includes refrigerant pressure testing, electrical component checks, airflow measurement, and thermostat communication testing. Every repair uses CSA certified parts from original manufacturers, backed by a six-month parts and labour warranty.
When a repair costs more than it should given the age of the system, we tell you and provide a clear comparison with replacement options. For homeowners who want both cooling and heating from a single system, we also install heat pumps. We service all of Surrey from our Coquitlam base, including Sullivan, Grandview Heights, Whalley, and Guildford.
Surrey summers have changed. The 2021 heat dome pushed temperatures above 40 degrees across the Lower Mainland, and summers since have consistently reached the mid to high 30s. Air conditioning has shifted from a luxury to a necessity for many Surrey homeowners, and the systems installed to meet that demand are now accumulating runtime and developing the wear patterns that lead to service calls. Homes across Newton, Fleetwood, and Bear Creek that added AC in the last five to ten years are reaching the age where capacitor and contactor failures become common.
Whether your air conditioner is a central ducted system paired with your furnace or a standalone unit, Eaton's Heating has the diagnostic expertise to get it running again. For homeowners considering whether to repair an aging AC or upgrade to a new high-efficiency system, visit our rebates page for information on any active incentive programs. We also provide AC repair across the entire Lower Mainland.

Yes. We offer same-day air conditioner repair across all Surrey neighborhoods. During peak summer demand we prioritize no-cooling emergencies, and because our technicians carry common AC parts on every truck, most repairs are completed in a single visit without needing to order parts. Our technicians are dispatched from Coquitlam and typically reach Surrey within 30 minutes via Highway 1. Call (604) 535-8434 to book.
The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed run capacitor preventing the compressor from starting even though the fan runs, a dirty or blocked condenser coil reducing heat transfer, a frozen evaporator coil from restricted airflow or low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat sending incorrect signals to the system. We test for each during our flat-rate $189 diagnostic and explain the cause and cost before starting any repair.
The most likely cause is a clogged condensate drain line. As your AC removes humidity from the air, the moisture collects on the evaporator coil and drains through a line to the outside or a floor drain. When that line clogs with algae, dust, or debris, water backs up and overflows into your home. A cracked or misaligned drain pan, a frozen evaporator coil that melts faster than the drain can handle, or a disconnected drain line can also cause indoor water leaks. We clear the blockage and verify proper drainage during the service call.
If your AC still uses R-22 refrigerant (common in systems manufactured before 2010), replacement is worth serious consideration. R-22 is no longer manufactured in Canada and the cost of remaining supply has increased substantially. Each time your system needs a refrigerant top-up, you are paying a premium for a shrinking supply. A new system using modern R-410A or R-454B refrigerant will cost less to maintain, cool more efficiently, and is not subject to the same supply constraints. We provide a clear cost comparison between continued R-22 top-ups and a new system so you can see the break-even point.
Every service call starts with a flat-rate $189 diagnostic fee. Common repairs like capacitors, contactors, and condensate drain clearing typically fall in the $200 to $500 range for parts and labour on top of the diagnostic. Refrigerant recharging, fan motor replacement, and compressor work cost more depending on the system. We quote all additional work upfront and you approve it before we start. All parts are CSA certified and backed by our six-month warranty.
We repair all major air conditioner brands including Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Bryant, KeepRite, Amana, and more. As an authorized Trane dealer, we have specialized expertise with Trane systems, but our technicians are trained and equipped to service any residential central air conditioner. Many Surrey homes have Carrier, Goodman, or Lennox units that we see regularly.
