Install, run, repair, retire. Every AC moves through those four stages. As your San Jose AC contractor, IRBIS handles them all.
Leaks, electrical issues, ice on the coil, and no cold air. Same-day repairs anywhere in San Jose.
Carrier units matched to your load, with permits and old-unit removal done by our crew. Stacked rebates cut up to $10,000.

AC dead at midnight? Smell of burning insulation? Tripped breakers? 24/7 dispatch line across the area.
From your first call to the follow-up. Air conditioning system service runs in four steps with us. Pricing stays clear.
Step 1
A NATE-certified AC technician walks the system first. Pressure, electrical, airflow, and thermostat all get tested. Then we talk price.
Step 2
Three prices in writing: immediate repair, system renovation, or system upgrade. Pick what works. No upsell.
Step 3
Our vans stock most parts. Most repairs finish that day. We tarp the floors and haul out our trash.
Step 4
Every install includes 10-year manufacturer parts, up to 5-year labor warranty, and a written Home Health Report Card. One call brings us back free if anything's off.
Keeping San Jose Homes Warm with Expert Furnace Solutions
What causes it: Could be low refrigerant. Could be dirty coils. Could be an undersized unit.
What we do: Pressure-test the loop, scrub the coils, then check sizing against your square footage.
What causes it: Refrigerant leaks out. Reversing valve sticks. Compressor dies.
What we do: Find the leak, recharge to spec, and swap in an OEM compressor if needed.
What causes it: Either restricted airflow or low refrigerant pulls coil temps below 32°F.
What we do: Coil gets thawed. Filter changes. Ducts clear. Refrigerant tops up.
What causes it: An oversized system, a dying thermostat, or pitted contactor points are usually behind it.
What we do: First, the thermostat gets recalibrated. Bad capacitors and contactors get swapped.
What causes it: Filter clogs. The duct collapses somewhere. Blower motor starts to fail.
What we do: First, swap the filter. Then walk the ducts for leaks or kinks. Rebuild or replace the blower last.
What causes it: Snapped belt. Seized bearings. Or a dead blower motor.
What we do: Test the capacitor and motor windings. Bad parts come off the van that day.
What causes it: Clogged drain line. Cracked pan. Or a frozen coil dripping meltwater on your floor.
What we do: The line gets vacuumed clear. Pan gets replaced if cracked. Mold treatment finishes the job.
What causes it: A tripped breaker, blown fuse, or fried contactor kills the power.
What we do: Every junction gets a voltage check. The breaker resets. Pitted contactor points come out.
What causes it: Three possibilities: dead batteries, miswired terminals, or a fried control board.
What we do: First, new batteries. Then a wiring check against the spec. A smart thermostat is installed if yours is dead.
What causes it: Either a shorted compressor, damaged insulation, or a breaker too small for the load.
What we do: Compressor windings get megger-tested. Damaged wiring gets repaired. Breaker sizing matches the equipment label.
What causes it: Run capacitor blows. Fan motor seizes. Contactor burns out.
What we do: Capacitors and bearings come first. Bad motor gets swapped. Contactor gets verified to pull in.
What causes it: Banging? Loose bolts. Grinding? Worn bearings. Debris in the blades is another option.
What we do: Tighten bolts. Lube or swap bearings. Pull debris from the housing.
What causes it: Three culprits: a moldy coil (musty), scorched wire insulation (burnt), or a dead rodent in the ducts.
What we do: Coil sanitizes, burned wiring is swapped out, and ducts are cleaned with UV-rated gear.
Alert
A solid local AC company comes down to three things: credentials, accountability, and the warranty paper you take home. IRBIS hits all three on every job.
Carrier Presidential Award
IRBIS won the 2024 Carrier President's Award. Only a small fraction of authorized dealers earn it each year.
10-Year Parts + Up to 5-Year Labor Warranty

Discovering a puddle of water around your HVAC system can be stressful, especially during the peak of summer. If you are suddenly dealing with indoor flooding and asking yourself, "Why is my AC leaking water?" you are not alone. Air conditioners naturally produce moisture as they pull humidity out of the warm indoor air.

As summer temperatures rise, your air conditioning system becomes the hardest-working appliance in your home. To ensure it doesn't fail you when you need it most, a professional tune-up is essential. But what exactly happens when a technician arrives at your door?
