Frequently Asked Questions

Can AC repairs really improve long-term performance?

 Yes. Fixing worn capacitors, cleaning coils, and calibrating thermostats can boost efficiency by up to 25 %, extending equipment life and lowering monthly costs.

What can cause an AC to stop cooling effectively?

 Low refrigerant, clogged condensate drains, faulty blower motors, or dirty evaporator coils are the most common culprits. Prompt service prevents these issues from escalating into pricey system failures.
