We will provide a thorough exam before deciding to replace your unit. If needed, our skilled technicians have been trained to install the highest rated appliances.
Not only will we keep everything running at full capacity but we will offer insight on what you can do to keep your unit maintained between visits.
Avoid common household allergens with a scheduled duct cleaning, filter replacements, and damper adjustments.

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
You will receive a written scope of your project, including what permits will be required, a basic timeline, and whatever open questions remain for you to decide on before we can begin.
You should have your systems serviced right before each cooling and heating season starts.
Add some attic ventilation! This will reduce moisture and lower your cooling costs.
Size
The air conditioner’s cooling capacity ( size) is measured in British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr.) or “TONS.” One ton of cooling equals 12,000 Btu/hr. The number of tons needed is determined by a load calculation for manual J calculation that determines the number of BTUs needed based on location construction and other relative factors It is important to pick the right AC capacity for the size of your home. A unit that’s too small will struggle to keep your home comfortable. An oversized unit will cost you more to purchase, and (unless it’s a model with a variable-speed compressor) will cycle on and off more often than it should, stressing the components and struggling to control the humidity in your home. If you’re replacing your central air, you should look into whether Any changes you’ve made to improve your home’s energy efficiency, such as upgrading your windows or adding insulation, can reduce your cooling needs. On the other hand, if you’ve added rooms, you might need more cooling.
Efficiency
This describes how much cooling the unit delivers for each watt of electricity. Efficiency is expressed as the seasonal energy-efficiency rating or SEER. The higher the SEER, the greater the efficiency. Higher-SEER ACs tend to cost more, but they’ll often pay for themselves over time through lower energy costs. The minimum SEER allowed for a new split system central air conditioner in the U.S. today is 14, which is at least 20 percent more efficient than minimum-efficiency models made even 10 years ago. The most efficient models reach a SEER of 26. \The New Seer2 is here!
The industry is changing with new Guidelines and Regulations. Regulations on what efficiencies we can install and in what areas of the country If you’ve been thinking about upgrading or replacing your system, this is the best time to do so before these changes take effect in 2023!
Single stage
Most American homes use a single-stage compressor. These compressors were standard for decades, and they continue to represent the majority of AC units we service
A single-stage compressor turns on when indoor temperatures exceed the temperature setting on your thermostat. For example, if you set the thermostat to 75 degrees, the air conditioner will run anytime indoor temperatures hit 76 degrees. After the AC cools the house back to 75 degrees, it will turn off again. Single-stage compressors always operate at 100% capacity. In other words, they always run at full blast. They turn themselves on and off continuously throughout the day.
Two-stage
Two-stage cooling means the air conditioner or heat pump has a compressor with two levels of operation: high for hot summer days and low for milder days. Since the low setting is adequate to meet household-cooling demands 80% of the time, a two-stage unit runs for longer periods and produces more even temperatures. Longer cooling cycles also translate to quieter, more efficient operation and enhanced humidity control. Compared to a single-stage unit, a two-stage air conditioner or heat pump can remove twice as much moisture from the air. This is important because when moisture levels are high, there's a higher potential for mold and other pollutant problems.
Variable speed
Variable speed compressors work differently. To maintain an indoor temperature that matches the setting on your thermostat, they operate continuously at less than 100% capacity - often as low as 25% or 30% capacity. As a result, they run for much longer cycles than single-stage AC units. In the summertime, they might run for all or most of the day Variable speed compressors blow a smooth, steady stream of cold air into your home to maintain the desired indoor temperature, rarely turning themselves off.
Communicating
Communicating capabilities are built into a lot of modern equipment. Communicating systems connect furnaces, heat pumps, air conditioners, and air handlers in the same system via special electronics. This allows each piece of equipment to optimize its performance based on what the other parts of the system are doing. As an example, communicating capabilities let multi-stage and variable capacity furnaces and air conditioners fine-tune their output and energy use to deliver consistent savings, and even monitor themselves to ensure proper operation.
