FAQ

• Why is my AC making a loud noise?

Unusual noises can signal problems like a loose fan or a failing compressor. 

• Why is my energy bill so high?

High energy bills can be a sign of an inefficient or failing AC. This could be due to dirty filters, a refrigerant leak, or a unit that is improperly sized.

• Why is my AC freezing up?

This can be caused by issues like dirty filters and low refrigerant levels. Keeping filters clean is one way to prevent this. 

• Should I clean my air ducts?

Duct cleaning is a good question to ask a professional. It's often recommended, especially if you notice a significant amount of dust or have concerns about air quality.
