Fast Diagnostic & System Restorations
When cooling quits anywhere from Palm Beach Gardens to Fort Pierce, the heat doesn't wait for a convenient time. A/C Now is a licensed air conditioning contractor (License #CAC1820068) serving northern Palm Beach County, with technicians who fix the actual fault instead of selling you a system you don't need.
Repairs across this region share a pattern: equipment pushed hard by long humid summers and worn early by coastal salt air. Capacitors cook under continuous runtime, contactors pit from constant cycling, and power surges from afternoon thunderstorms take out control boards on higher-efficiency systems. Our trucks carry common failure parts, so most repair calls are fixed in one visit instead of waiting on a parts run. Every repair is quoted at a flat rate before any work begins, and you get a straight answer when a system is genuinely better replaced than repaired.

In the Village of North Palm Beach, where established homes sit on compact lots and neighbors are close enough to notice, a broken AC isn't a private problem; it's a household event. The country club neighborhood, the Intracoastal sections and the homes along US-1 each sit at a different distance from the water, and that distance shapes how hard the salt air is on the outdoor unit.
With the Intracoastal close by and the Village's grid of residential streets running between Northlake Boulevard and the water, much of North Palm Beach sits close enough to the water for marine air to reach the outdoor unit. Homes around Old Port Cove and along the US-1 waterfront are closest to it, so an outdoor coil there benefits from a regular fresh-water rinse, especially after a windy stretch, and a careful look at the fins at every tune-up. Farther from the water the exposure eases, though in a coastal village like this one it never disappears entirely. Permits for a system replacement go through the local building department, and A/C Now pulls that permit itself and hauls off the old equipment when a replacement goes ahead. In the country club neighborhood and the Village's other established sections, ductwork that has spent decades in a hot attic can sag, separate at the joints or leak conditioned air, so if some rooms never cool down, have the ducts checked along with the equipment.
🌊 Climate Reality Check: Coastal Salt-Air Defense
Salt carried in on the sea breeze settles on outdoor coils, fasteners and cabinets and slowly corrodes them. Rinsing the outdoor coil with fresh water helps, and coated coils and stainless hardware are worth asking about when a unit is replaced.
Frequently Asked Questions — AC Repair in northern Palm Beach County
Get quick answers to common questions about air conditioning repair, diagnostics, costs, and servicing from Fort Pierce to Palm Beach Gardens.
My North Palm Beach home's AC is only 7 years old but it's already had two refrigerant top-offs — is that normal?
No. An air conditioner is a sealed system, so it shouldn't lose refrigerant at all; two top-offs mean a leak somewhere, and another top-off only buys time. The leak may be in the outdoor coil, the indoor coil, a fitting or the line set. At seven years, find out whether the unit was registered with the manufacturer within 60 days of installation; if it was, a leaking coil may still be covered for parts.
Do underground utilities affect where my North Palm Beach AC lines can run?
Rarely. The refrigerant line set runs from the outdoor unit along or through the exterior wall to the indoor air handler, so buried utility lines seldom come into play. Whether power arrives overhead or underground has no bearing on panel capacity either. Before digging for a new equipment pad or drain, call 811 to have buried lines marked.
Can most AC repairs in North Palm Beach be finished in one visit?
Usually, yes. Common failure parts are stocked on our trucks, so most repair calls end in one visit. A refrigerant leak is the usual exception, since it has to be found, repaired and tested before the system is recharged.
Does A/C Now LLC offer same-day and emergency AC repair?
Yes. A/C Now LLC offers same-day service, when available, Monday through Friday for repair calls received before 5 PM ($89 diagnostic; $39 for Comfort Shield members). After 5 PM on weekdays and on weekends, our on-call technician provides emergency repair service only ($169 diagnostic; $129 for members). Non-emergency weekend requests are held for the next business day. Call (772) 521-3568, 8 AM–7 PM.
Is the diagnostic fee waived if I replace the system?
Yes. The standard $89 diagnostic fee is waived when the visit leads to a system replacement. Estimates on a new system are free either way. Comfort Shield members also have the diagnostic waived when a repair is completed.
What areas do you serve in northern Palm Beach County?
A/C Now LLC serves the region from Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter to Stuart and Port St. Lucie. We cover both Martin County and St. Lucie County, plus northern Palm Beach County, for residential and commercial HVAC service. Call (772) 521-3568 to confirm availability in your neighborhood.
How often should I service my AC?
In Florida's hot, humid climate, HVAC systems should be professionally serviced at least twice per year — once before the summer cooling season (spring) and once before the winter heating season (fall). Twice-yearly tune-ups help catch worn parts early, and each one includes a coil rinse, a blower wheel inspection and a capacitor test. A/C Now LLC's Comfort Shield Protection Plan starts at $155/year and includes at least two tune-ups a year.
Do you work on commercial HVAC systems?
Yes. A/C Now LLC is a licensed HVAC contractor that serves commercial properties as well as homes throughout the corridor from Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter to Stuart and Port St. Lucie. We work on rooftop package units, commercial split systems, and multi-zone air handlers, from diagnostics and repairs to maintenance and replacement. Learn more on our Commercial HVAC page.
