How long do standard AC repairs take?

Most standard repairs take 1–4 hours, depending on unit size, the specific fault, and where the issue is within the HVAC system. After diagnosis, our technicians provide a clear repair timeline.

Should I repair or replace my AC system?

We aim to repair first. We may recommend replacement if your unit is old and inefficient, repairs exceed replacement value, or a new system would significantly improve comfort and energy efficiency.

Q: What are some signs that my AC is not working?

Common signs include poor airflow, warm air, frequent cycling, leaks or ice on refrigeration lines, rising energy bills, thermostat issues, drainage problems, sensor or electric control failures, and loud or unusual noises. If you notice any of these, schedule service before it becomes a major breakdown.

Q: Why is my HVAC system noisy?

Some noise during start-up and shut-down is normal, but banging, grinding, hissing, or persistent loud sounds can indicate a problem. Have a professional inspect the system to prevent further damage.

Q: My AC is freezing up—what could be the issue?

Freeze-ups are often caused by restricted airflow, dirty filters, low refrigerant, or an evaporator coil problem. A licensed technician should diagnose and correct the root cause to prevent repeat failures.

Q: How do I know which HVAC system is best for my home?

We perform an in-home assessment to evaluate your home’s size, insulation, ductwork, and comfort needs. Based on load calculations and budget, we recommend the most efficient system and can also handle installation.

Q: I just moved into a previously lived-in home—should I get the HVAC system checked?

Yes. It’s smart to schedule a full inspection and replace filters to ensure indoor air quality and reliable performance, especially if service history is unknown.
