AC Repair When Your AC Goes Out or Won't Keep Cool
When your AC stops working, blows warm air, or struggles through Missouri heat and humidity, Ricotta Heating & Air helps you get reliable cooling back with clear answers and practical repair options.
Honest AC Repair Across St. Louis & Jefferson County
Most AC failures come down to a handful of issues — a failed capacitor, low refrigerant from a slow leak, a worn contactor, a clogged drain, a tired blower motor, or a thermostat that's lost its mind. Ricotta diagnoses what's actually wrong before quoting parts, so you're not paying for guesses.
If your system is older and the repair bill is creeping up, we'll lay out the math on repair vs. replace honestly. No scare tactics, no pressure — just the real picture so you can decide.
