FAQ

It’s recommended to have your AC system serviced at least 6 months once, preferably before the start of the cooling season. However, if you use it frequently or notice issues, more frequent maintenance may be necessary.

Regular maintenance helps improve energy efficiency, extend the lifespan of your AC unit, reduce the risk of breakdowns, improve indoor air quality, and save you money on energy bills

Signs of AC problems include reduced cooling capacity, strange noises, foul odors, uneven cooling, frequent cycling on and off, or increased energy bills. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to schedule a repair.

The duration of an AC installation depends on several factors, including the complexity of the system, the type of AC unit, and the size of your space. It can range from a few hours to a full day.

Consider factors like the size of your space, energy efficiency (SEER rating), your budget, and any specific features you desire, such as smart thermostat compatibility or air purification.

A leaking AC unit could be due to a clogged drain line, a refrigerant leak, or a faulty condensate pump. It’s best to turn off the unit and contact a professional technician for inspection and repair.

If you have a central AC system, it won’t work during a power outage unless you have a backup generator. Some portable or window AC units may work with a generator, but it’s essential to check the manufacturer’s guidelines.

To improve efficiency, regularly clean or replace filters, seal any leaks in ductwork, ensure proper insulation, and consider using a programmable thermostat to control cooling when you’re not at home.

Some noise is normal, but loud or unusual noises, such as banging, screeching, or rattling, may indicate a problem. It’s advisable to have a technician inspect the unit if you notice unusual sounds.
