The cost of a new AC system varies based on the size of your home, system efficiency rating (SEER), brand, and any additional work needed. Residential systems typically range from $4,500 to $12,000+ installed. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific needs.

For routine maintenance and non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule appointments within 1-3 business days. During peak season (summer and winter), wait times may be slightly longer. Emergency calls are prioritized and usually addressed same-day or next-day.

Yes, we require an adult (18+) to be present during service calls for safety and liability reasons. This also allows our technician to explain findings, discuss options, and answer any questions you may have about your system.

Our regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We are closed on Saturday and Sunday.

With proper maintenance, air conditioning systems typically last 15-20 years, while furnaces can last 20-25 years. Heat pumps average 15-18 years. Factors affecting lifespan include maintenance frequency, usage patterns, and local climate conditions.

System sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation, window placement, ceiling height, and other factors. An undersized system won't cool effectively; an oversized one cycles too frequently. We perform a detailed load calculation to recommend the right size for your home.

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures an air conditioner's cooling efficiency. Higher SEER ratings mean greater efficiency and lower energy bills. Current minimum standards require 14-15 SEER, while high-efficiency units reach 20+ SEER. Higher efficiency units cost more upfront but save money over time.

Consider replacement if your system is 15+ years old, requires frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out), or your energy bills are increasing. Generally, if a repair costs more than 50% of a new system's value, replacement is the better investment.

We recommend professional maintenance twice per year - once in spring for your AC before summer, and once in fall for your heating system before winter. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, extends equipment life, maintains efficiency, and keeps warranties valid.

Standard 1-inch filters should be changed every 30-60 days. Higher-quality 4-inch filters can last 3-6 months. Factors like pets, allergies, and home dustiness may require more frequent changes. A dirty filter restricts airflow, reduces efficiency, and can damage your system.

Our comprehensive maintenance includes inspecting and cleaning components, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, calibrating the thermostat, checking airflow, inspecting ductwork, and providing a detailed report of your system's condition.

Yes, we offer annual maintenance plans that include two tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, and other benefits. Our plans help you budget for HVAC care while ensuring your system runs efficiently year-round.
