WHAT WE DO
Comprehensive Cooling Solutions
Air Conditioning Repair
If your air conditioner stops cooling or shows signs of stress, our licensed technicians are ready to help. Common problems we solve include:
- AC blowing warm air
- System freezing up or short cycling
- Poor airflow or uneven cooling
- Refrigerant leaks
- Thermostat not responding
- Electrical or capacitor failures
- Unusual noises or smells
We use professional diagnostic tools to pinpoint the issue accurately, then present clear repair options with upfront pricing. Every repair includes a performance check to verify system safety, efficiency, and cooling power before we leave.
Preventive Maintenance and Seasonal Tune-Ups
Routine AC maintenance is one of the best investments you can make in your comfort system. Regular tune-ups keep components clean, calibrated, and running efficiently — helping prevent costly breakdowns during peak heat.
Our maintenance services include:
- Cleaning condenser and evaporator coils
- Checking refrigerant charge and pressures
- Inspecting wiring and tightening electrical connections
- Testing capacitors, fans, and motors
- Flushing condensate drain lines
- Verifying temperature split and airflow
- Replacing or cleaning filters
We recommend scheduling a cooling tune-up in spring before heavy summer use. Consistent maintenance improves energy efficiency, reduces repair costs, and extends system life.
Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
When repair costs begin to outweigh benefits, it may be time for a replacement. We install high-efficiency air conditioning systems designed to improve comfort and reduce utility bills.
Each installation is custom-fitted to your home’s layout, insulation, and cooling load. We handle everything from removing old equipment to installing, charging, and testing your new system for optimal performance.
We install all major brands and ensure compliance with manufacturer standards, local codes, and energy efficiency requirements. Our focus is on dependable, long-lasting comfort — not temporary fixes.
Thermostat Repair and Replacement
Your thermostat is the command center of your HVAC system. When it malfunctions, your air conditioner may short cycle, fail to start, or cool inconsistently. We service and replace both traditional and smart thermostats to ensure precise temperature control and efficient system operation.
Upgrading to a smart thermostat can help reduce energy use, improve comfort scheduling, and give you control from anywhere. We install and configure these systems so they work seamlessly with your existing HVAC setup.
