Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my air conditioning system maintained?

We recommend having your AC system serviced twice a year – once in spring before the cooling season starts, and once in fall after you've finished using it for the year. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, extends equipment life, and keeps your system running efficiently.

What should I do if my air conditioner stops cooling?

First, check that your thermostat is set to cooling mode and that the temperature setting is lower than the current room temperature. If that doesn't help, turn off the system and call us at (888) 270-5426. Continuing to run a non-cooling AC can damage the compressor.

How long does a typical AC installation take?

Most air conditioning installations take between four to eight hours, depending on your existing setup and the complexity of the installation. We'll give you a timeline when we arrive and keep you updated throughout the process.

Are newer AC systems more expensive to operate?

Modern air conditioning systems are significantly more energy-efficient than older models. While they may cost more upfront, you'll recover that investment through lower utility bills within a few years, often much sooner.

What can I do to improve my AC system's efficiency?

Keep your air filters clean, seal any air leaks around windows and doors, close vents in unused rooms, and use a programmable thermostat. Our maintenance visits include efficiency checks and recommendations tailored to your home.
