Whether you’re dealing with insufficient cooling, strange noises, unusual odors, or complete system failure, our team has the expertise to restore your comfort quickly.
Understanding Common AC Problems and Solutions
Air conditioning systems are complex machines with numerous components that must work together seamlessly. One of the most frequent issues we encounter involves refrigerant leaks, which can reduce cooling capacity by up to 20% and increase energy consumption significantly. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors and UV dye testing to pinpoint even the smallest leaks, then repair them according to EPA regulations before recharging your system to manufacturer specifications.
Electrical problems represent another major category of AC service calls. Capacitors, contactors, and relays can fail due to voltage fluctuations or simple wear and tear. These components are crucial for starting and running your compressor and fan motors. During our service visits, we test all electrical components, measure amp draws, and verify proper voltage to prevent unexpected breakdowns. We also clean and tighten all electrical connections, as loose connections cause approximately 30% of AC system failures.
Preventive Maintenance Programs That Save Money
Regular maintenance is the cornerstone of reliable air conditioning performance. Our comprehensive maintenance programs include thorough system inspections, cleaning, and adjustments that can extend equipment life by 40% or more. During each maintenance visit, we perform these essential tasks:
- Clean or replace air filters to maintain proper airflow and indoor air quality
- Inspect and clean evaporator and condenser coils to maximize heat transfer efficiency
- Check refrigerant levels and test for leaks to ensure optimal cooling performance
- Lubricate all moving parts to reduce friction and prevent premature wear
- Verify thermostat calibration and operation for accurate temperature control
- Test safety controls and switches to protect your equipment and home
Studies show that properly maintained air conditioning systems use up to 25% less energy than neglected units. This translates to significant savings on your monthly utility bills while reducing the likelihood of costly emergency repairs. Our maintenance agreements also include priority scheduling and discounted repair rates, providing additional value and peace of mind.
Emergency AC Service When You Need It Most
Air conditioning failures don’t follow convenient schedules. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency service to ensure you’re never left suffering in the heat. Our emergency response team is specially trained to diagnose and repair critical cooling issues quickly, getting your system back online with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Common emergency situations include complete cooling loss, water leaks from the indoor unit, burning smells, or electrical issues causing circuit breaker trips. When you call our emergency line, a knowledgeable dispatcher will gather essential information about your system and symptoms, then dispatch a qualified technician immediately. We stock our service vehicles with commonly needed parts to maximize first-call resolution rates.
Expert AC Installation and System Upgrades

Modern high-efficiency systems can reduce cooling costs by up to 50% compared to units installed 15 or more years ago. We help you select the right-sized system for your home through detailed load calculations, considering factors like square footage, insulation levels, window placement, and local climate data.
Our installation process follows strict industry standards and manufacturer guidelines. We properly size and install new refrigerant lines, ensure adequate electrical capacity, optimize ductwork design, and commission the system for maximum efficiency.
