"Great. They arrived and did all they said they would as quickly as possible (it was like a 4-6 hour job with HVAC turned off the entire time). It was a big expense on top of many other expenses and who likes paying out big sums of money for repairs? The angie's list coupon was honored and helped!"

"This was by FAR the best experience I?ve had with an HVAC company. Customer service line was quick, easy and helpful. The service tech Ronnie Austin was very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of my questions with patience and I was able to understand everything he explained. I now have more confidence in my system and services. I will definitely remain a customer for years to come and give many recommendations. Thank you Annette Hales !"

"Definitely recommend. Very nice. Cursed unnecessarily, in a joking manner. They were very professional outside of the occasional swear word. Got the water heater replaced at a lower price than expected, so I was able to add another service. I would definitely recommend them."

"Barkley Heating and Air Conditioning did an outstanding job with the installation of our new American Standard HVAC system. We purchased the unit from them at a very competitive price and we could not have experienced any higher professional manner in which Logan Barkley and his associates (Aaron and Derrick) provided us. From the time of the assessment of our needs until the unit was installed the service was outstanding! They were very impressive from the beginning of the project until the completion. They were prompt, courteous, and very respective. If it were possible to give them a rating of above 5 Stars, I would have given that rating to them! Any future HVAC needs we have will be provided by this company. We highly recommend them for anyone needing an HVAC system."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

If your AC suddenly stops working, the first thing to check is your thermostat settings. Ensure the thermostat is set to the appropriate temperature and mode (cooling). Sometimes, a simple adjustment or replacing the batteries in the thermostat can resolve the issue. If that’s not the issue, look to see if the circuit breaker tripped. These basic checks can often identify simple fixes before you need to call for professional assistance.

The right type of HVAC system will depend on several factors, including your climate, budget, preferences, and existing HVAC setup. For example, if you live in an area that experiences extreme weather, then a split system would likely be the best option. Or, if budget is a concern, consider installing a ductless system in just one room.

A dirty AC filter can lower the efficiency of your system, so depending on how dirty it was, you may notice a temperature difference when you clean your filter. You can try other solutions if your AC isn’t blowing as cold as it used to. You can call in a local HVAC tech to make sure everything is running correctly, fix your air seal if it’s a window unit, and clean your coils.

The length of an AC cycle depends on the settings in your thermostat and the unit you have. Central AC doesn't constantly run at full blast the way that a window unit does. A cooling cycle in most homes is 15 to 20 minutes. Then, the unit stays off for seven to 10 minutes to circulate the cold air in the house before the cycle repeats. It should repeat two or three times per hour. A short cycle lasts less than 10 minutes and then turns off.

If left untreated, a frozen AC unit can lead to costly damage, especially to the compressor and evaporator coils. When ice forms on the evaporator coils, they become brittle and more susceptible to breaking. Plus, a freeze makes your AC system much less efficient, which means it's wasting energy and costing you more in your monthly energy bills.
