Answering Your Top A/C Questions

  • How Do I Know If I Need an Air Conditioner Repair or a Complete Replacement?

    Usually, we ask a couple of questions to determine which route is the best one:

    • Is the system 15 – 20 years old or older?
    • Are your energy bills increasing unexpectedly?
    • Is it not keeping up with your needs as well as it used to?

    If the answer to those questions is yes, then it’s time for a new system.

  • Just How Important Is A/C Maintenance?

    Very! This service is a complete and thorough review of your cooling system. Our team will clean and tune all working parts, improve energy efficiency, and ensure smooth system operation. It will help keep the cool air flowing all summer long.

  • Will My Air Conditioner Help With High Humidity?

    It will! Although a dehumidifier is more effective in removing moisture from your air, the cool air from your A/C will also help.

  • Why Is My A/C Not Cooling My House?

    There are a couple of things that could be causing the issue. Number one is power—check your circuit breaker to ensure no switches have been tripped. Next, check your thermostat. Make sure the system is set to cool instead of heat—and that the fan is set to auto.

  • How Else Can I Cool My Home Besides Running the Air?

    Try these tips to help save on energy usage:

    • Turn your thermostat up a couple of notches so your system doesn’t run as often
    • Set your ceiling fans to spin counterclockwise to help circulate cool air
    • Close blinds and shades during the day to keep the sun from warming up your home unnecessarily
