Westchester has a real mix of homes: some with older wiring and tight crawlspaces, others with modern high-efficiency systems.

We offer a six-month warranty on repairs because we want you to feel confident that the fix will last through the season.
What Our Air Conditioner Repair Includes
Air conditioner repair means more than just swapping out a filter or topping off refrigerant. Mike handles everything from diagnosing why your system isn’t cooling to tracking down electrical faults or fixing leaks. If your unit is blowing warm air, making strange noises, or just not turning on, he’ll start with a full checkup. That includes inspecting the thermostat, control board, wiring, capacitors, contactors, and any safety switches. He’ll also check refrigerant pressures and look for signs of leaks or blockages in the system.
Many homes in Westchester County still have older central air units that need a careful hand, sometimes it’s a simple fix like a dirty coil or a blown fuse, but other times it’s a worn-out compressor or a faulty blower motor. Mike works on oil, gas, and electric systems, so he can handle not just the cooling unit itself but also the related components that tie into your home’s heating or ventilation. If you have a ductless mini-split, he can repair those too, from electrical boards to indoor unit sensors.
Every repair visit includes a check for underlying issues that might cause the same problem to come back. That way, you’re not just getting a quick patch but a repair that addresses what’s really going wrong. Mike will clean coils or drain lines if needed, tighten loose connections, and make sure everything is set up for reliable performance. If he finds something that might need future attention, he’ll point it out so you can plan ahead.
What to Expect
When you call for air conditioner repair, you’ll speak directly with Mike. He’ll ask some questions about what’s going on, whether the system is making noise, not cooling, or just won’t start. Based on your answers, he’ll give you an idea of what might be wrong and how soon he can get there. Because the business is based in Pleasantville, it’s usually possible to offer same-day service across Westchester County, whether you’re in Chappaqua, Armonk, or one of the river towns.
Once Mike arrives, he’ll do a thorough assessment of your air conditioning system. He’ll bring the right tools and common replacement parts, so most repairs can be done on the spot. You’ll get a written estimate before any work starts, no surprises or hidden fees. If your system needs a specialized part, Mike will explain what’s involved and how long it will take to get your AC back up and running.
After the repair, Mike will test the system in front of you to make sure it’s cooling properly. He’ll answer any questions you have about what went wrong and how to keep things running smoothly. If you want to talk about regular maintenance or upgrading to a new system in the future, he can go over your options. You’ll get a written record of the repair and a six-month warranty for peace of mind.
How to Prepare Before We Arrive
There’s not much you need to do before Mike arrives, but a few small steps can help the visit go smoothly. Make sure there’s a clear path to your thermostat and to the indoor air handler or furnace, especially if it’s in a basement or utility closet. If you have pets, it’s often helpful to keep them in another room so Mike can come and go without worry.
If your outdoor unit is behind a locked gate or in a spot with heavy landscaping, unlocking the gate or trimming back any overgrown plants can save time. In some Westchester homes, the outdoor unit is tucked into a tight space between houses or behind a shed. If you know where the breaker panel is, that can also be useful, especially if the system has tripped a breaker.
It’s helpful to think about what’s been happening with your system, when the problem started, any unusual noises or smells, and whether the system has had repairs in the past. The more details you can share, the faster Mike can track down the issue. If you have the owner’s manual or any service records, having those handy is always a plus, but not required.
Signs You Need Air Conditioner Repair Sooner Rather Than Later
Westchester County summers can swing from muggy to downright hot, and a failing AC can make your home uncomfortable fast. Some signs that it’s time to call for repair include warm air coming from the vents when the system should be cooling, reduced airflow, or the system cycling on and off more frequently than normal. If your thermostat is set correctly but the temperature never seems to drop, that’s a red flag.
Strange noises are another warning sign. Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds usually mean something is loose or worn out. Unusual odors, like a musty smell, can indicate mold or mildew in the system, especially if the condensate drain is clogged. If you notice water pooling around the indoor unit or outside by the condenser, there could be a refrigerant leak or a blocked drain line that needs attention right away.
Higher than normal electric bills are also a clue. If your system is running longer to keep up with the heat, it might have a clogged filter, dirty coil, or another issue that makes it work harder than necessary. Fixing these problems early can prevent bigger breakdowns and save you money over the long run. If you’re not sure, it’s always better to get it checked before the next heat wave hits Westchester County.
Serving Westchester County, NY and the Surrounding Area
Mikey Mac Heating & Air Conditioning is based at 15 Center St, Pleasantville, right in the middle of Westchester County. That makes it easy to get to jobs quickly, whether you’re in the Rivertowns, up in Bedford, or out in Cortlandt Manor. Mike has worked on air conditioning systems in every corner of Westchester, from historic homes near the Kensico Dam to newer builds in Armonk and Chappaqua.
The area’s mix of older and newer homes means repairs can range from basic fixes to more involved troubleshooting. In Pleasantville, many homes have original ductwork that might not be sized for modern AC, while in Armonk, high-efficiency units might just need a new capacitor or sensor. Mike is familiar with the local building codes and the common issues that come from Westchester’s climate, like pollen buildup on outdoor units or the impact of spring storms on electrical components.
Service hours are Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm, and Saturday 9 am to 3 pm. The goal is to keep Westchester homes comfortable all summer long, no matter where you live in the county.
How It Works, Step by Step
The process starts with a phone call to (914) 772-1697. Mike will ask about your air conditioner symptoms and set up a convenient time to visit. Because he’s based locally, same-day service is often available throughout Westchester County. You’ll know exactly who’s coming and when to expect him.
When Mike arrives, he’ll begin by asking a few more questions and then get to work diagnosing the system. This usually starts with checking the thermostat, electrical connections, and control board. He’ll inspect both the indoor and outdoor units, test refrigerant levels, and check for any obvious faults like tripped breakers, blown fuses, or worn belts. If the problem isn’t immediately obvious, he’ll methodically work through the system to find the root cause.
Once the problem is identified, Mike will give you a written estimate for the repair before any work begins. If you approve, he’ll get started right away. Most repairs can be completed in a single visit, but if a special part is needed, he’ll explain the timeline. After the repair, he’ll run the system through a complete cycle to make sure it’s working properly, answer your questions, and leave you with a record of the work done. Every repair comes with a six-month warranty, so you know the fix is meant to last.
