How Do I Know When I Need Air Conditioner Replacement?

If your air conditioner is more than 15 years old, isn’t providing you with the cooling your need, or your energy bills are steadily increasing, it’s time to consider air conditioner replacement. In most other situations, a repair likely will do.

How Often Should I Schedule Air Conditioner Maintenance?

We recommend scheduling air conditioner maintenance annually, preferably before summer. It’s a simple service that ensures every working part is clean, tuned, and functioning correctly. It helps you avoid systems breakdowns and save money on your energy bill.

Why Is My Air Conditioner Not Cooling?

There are a number a few things that could be causing your air conditioner to give warm air—or none at all. Start by checking your thermostat and making sure it’s on and set to “cool.” Next, check your air filter and replace it if necessary. If it’s dirty, it can block cool air from reaching you. If neither of these tips work, give us a call.

Do Ductless Mini-Splits Bring in Fresh Air?

Not exactly. Ductless systems are alternatives to central air conditioners (and furnaces). They are individual units placed directly in rooms or certain spaces of your home. These systems act as heat pumps, absorbing heat energy inside that area and sending it outside your home to cool it.

Does Air Conditioning Remove Humidity?

Yes, cooler air does reduce the amount of moisture in your air, which can help you feel more comfortable. But if you need even greater humidity control in summer, consider installing a dehumidifier. These are designed to remove even more moisture from your air, so you don’t have to rely on cranking your A/C.
