When the humidity hits and your air conditioner stops blowing cold, you need a team that can get there fast and fix it right. Axel Mechanical Services specializes in diagnosing and repairing all types of residential cooling systems - central air, ductless mini-splits, and heat pumps - across Lancaster, York, Lebanon, and Dauphin Counties.
We don't just patch problems. Our technicians dig into the root cause so you're not calling us back for the same issue next month. Whether it's a refrigerant leak, a failed compressor, a frozen evaporator coil, or a thermostat that won't cooperate, we'll get your home cool again and keep it that way.
Warm air blowing, strange sounds, or a unit that cycles on and off? Our technicians use professional diagnostic equipment to identify the exact problem - whether it's a capacitor, contactor, refrigerant issue, or electrical fault - and repair it as efficiently as possible.
If your current system is past its prime, we'll help you choose a high-efficiency replacement that matches your home's cooling needs. We handle proper sizing calculations, equipment selection, full installation, and make sure everything is running perfectly before we leave.
The best way to avoid a mid-summer breakdown is a spring tune-up. We clean your condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, test airflow, and make sure your system is ready to handle the hottest days of the year without skipping a beat.
When your AC dies during a 95-degree heat wave, you can't afford to wait days for a technician. Call us at (717) 342-6382 and we'll prioritize getting your cooling system running again. We carry common parts on our trucks to speed up repairs.
When your house feels like a sauna, the last thing you want is to gamble on an AC company you can't trust. Axel Mechanical has earned our reputation one satisfied customer at a time - by showing up when we say we will and fixing things right the first time.

The most common culprits are low refrigerant (usually from a leak), a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a malfunctioning compressor, or a thermostat issue. Sometimes it's as simple as a tripped breaker. We'll diagnose the exact cause and give you a straightforward explanation of what needs to be fixed and what it'll cost.
For standard 1-inch filters, we recommend changing them every 1-3 months, depending on factors like pets, allergies, and how often your system runs. A clogged filter is one of the top causes of AC breakdowns - it restricts airflow, makes your system work harder, and can lead to frozen coils. It's the easiest thing you can do to protect your investment.
A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new unit and your system is over 10 years old, replacement usually makes more sense. Newer units are significantly more energy efficient and come with manufacturer warranties. We'll always give you both options so you can make the best decision for your situation.
Proper sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and other factors. An oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy, while an undersized unit runs constantly and never fully cools your home. We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact right size for your space.
Most common AC repairs - like replacing a capacitor, contactor, or fan motor - can be completed in 1-2 hours. More complex issues like compressor replacement or refrigerant leak repair may take longer. We stock commonly needed parts on our trucks so many repairs are completed in a single visit.
A broken air conditioner in the middle of summer is no joke. Whether you need a quick repair, a tune-up before the heat hits, or a brand new system, call us now or request service online. We'll get you back to cool and comfortable fast.
