Expert Solutions for Every Symptom

My AC is making a loud grinding noise. What is it?
Strange noises like grinding or squealing often indicate a problem with the fan motor bearings or a slipped belt. Turning the system off immediately and calling a pro can save the motor from burning out completely.
Why does my air conditioner smell bad?
Unpleasant odors can come from two sources. A musty "dirty sock" smell usually means mold or bacteria in the coil. A burning smell typically indicates an electrical overheating issue. Both require immediate attention.
Why have my electricity bills spiked suddenly?
Increased energy bills are a classic sign of inefficiency. If your system is low on refrigerant or has a dirty coil, it runs twice as long to cool the house, wasting money. A repair often pays for itself in energy savings.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
We follow the "50% Rule." If the cost of the repair is more than 50% of the value of a new system, or if your unit is over 12 years old, we might recommend replacement. Otherwise, our goal is always to repair and extend the life of your current unit.
