Repairs & Troubleshooting
My AC is running but not cooling — what could it be?
Common causes include dirty filters, thermostat settings, frozen coils, low refrigerant due to a leak, electrical issues, or airflow/duct problems. We recommend turning the system off if you see ice and scheduling service.
My heater is running but not warming — what could it be?
It can be airflow restrictions, thermostat configuration, ignition issues, safety switches, or fuel/electrical supply issues. We’ll diagnose safely and explain options.
Why is my system freezing up?
Typically, airflow restrictions (dirty filter, blocked return, dirty coil) or refrigerant issues. Turn the system off to prevent damage and call for service.
Why is my outdoor unit making noise?
Causes include loose components, fan motor wear, debris, or compressor-related issues. Avoid running it if the noise is loud or sudden—schedule an inspection.
How long do repairs usually take?
Many repairs are completed in one visit, but some require special-order parts or additional time if multiple issues are found.
Do you use OEM parts?
We use quality parts compatible with your equipment and will explain options (OEM vs equivalent) based on availability, warranty, and cost.
Replacement vs Repair
How do I know if I should repair or replace my system?
Consider age, frequency of breakdowns, repair cost vs system value, comfort problems, and energy efficiency. We’ll provide honest options so you can decide.
How long does a typical HVAC system last?
Many systems last 10–15 years (sometimes longer) depending on usage, maintenance, installation quality, and climate.
What size system do I need?
Proper sizing requires load calculations (not guesswork). Oversized systems can short-cycle and feel humid; undersized systems struggle in peak heat/cold.
What is SEER / SEER2 / AFUE?
These are efficiency ratings. Higher ratings generally mean better efficiency, but the best value depends on your home, usage, and budget.
Should I replace just the outdoor unit?
Sometimes but matching indoor/outdoor components is important for efficiency, performance, and warranty compliance. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your system.
Maintenance & Membership Plans
Do you offer preventative maintenance?
Yes. Maintenance helps reduce breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends equipment life.
How often should HVAC be serviced?
Most homes benefit from twice-yearly service: spring (cooling) and fall (heating).
What’s included in a tune-up?
Typical tune-ups include safety checks, electrical inspection, airflow review, coil/condition checks, drain line inspection, thermostat verification, and performance testing.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Yes, we offer a maintenance plan and it can be viewed on our website.
Will maintenance lower my energy bills?
It can help. A clean, properly operating system runs more efficiently and avoids strain caused by restricted airflow or failing components.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
What can you do to improve indoor air quality?
Options may include upgraded filtration, UV lights, duct cleaning (when appropriate), whole-home air purifiers, humidity control, and ventilation solutions.
Do I need a UV light?
UV can help reduce microbial growth in certain conditions. It’s not required for everyone but can be helpful for allergy concerns or persistent odors.
What MERV filter should I use?
The “best” filter depends on your system’s airflow capability. Higher MERV isn’t always better if it restricts air flow. We can recommend the right rating for your unit.
Why is my home humid in summer?
Causes include oversized equipment, airflow issues, duct leaks, thermostat settings, or ventilation. We’ll identify the driver and recommend the right fix.
Ductwork & Airflow
Do you repair or replace ductwork?
Yes. We can seal leaks, repair damaged duct sections, improve returns, and replace ductwork where needed.
How do I know if my ducts are leaking?
Signs include uneven temperatures, dusty rooms, high bills, weak airflow, or hot/cold spots. Testing can confirm leakage and airflow issues.
What causes uneven temperatures from room to room?
Often duct design, insulation, airflow balancing, return air problems, or equipment sizing. We’ll diagnose and propose solutions.
Thermostats & Smart Controls
Can you install a smart thermostat?
Yes. We’ll confirm compatibility with your system and wire it correctly, so it works as intended.
Why does my thermostat say, “aux heat”?
In heat pump systems, auxiliary heat may turn on during very cold conditions or if the heat pump can’t keep up. If it runs constantly, it may indicate a performance issue.
Warranties & Guarantees
Do your repairs come with a warranty?
We’ll explain the coverage on your invoice/estimate.
Do new systems include a manufacturer warranty?
Typically, yes, with registration requirements and terms that vary by brand.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes — if something we installed or repaired isn’t working as expected, we’ll make it right per our workmanship policy.
Customer Prep & What to Expect
How can I prepare for my appointment?
Ensure the thermostat is accessible, pets are secured, and the technician can access the indoor unit, attic entry, and outdoor condenser.
Will you protect my home?
Yes. We use best practices such as shoe covers and work-area protection when needed.
Do you provide before/after photos?
If you want: “We can provide photos of findings and completed work when helpful.”
Safety, Ethics & Transparency
Will you show me what’s wrong?
Yes. We explain the diagnosis in plain language and can show readings/photos when available.
Do you upsell services I don’t need?
No — our recommendations are based on system condition, safety, and performance.
