"Attention Veterans! It was an immense pleasure having Don install a Central AC. His appreciation for the military shines from pricing to performance. He is honest, efficient, knowledgeable, detailed and respectful. After six years of â jack-legâ service/repair companies, I finally found a trustworthy person. Now I only recommend Billy Don Air for AC needs throughout the Montgomery area. No need to follow up with Don because he keeps you fully informed throughout the process. If you are out of town, like me, he follows up with pictures, coordinates times with someone local, and provides professionalism every step of the way. What an amazing company! The way Don treats his customers is absolutely first class! He goes ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure the job is done right the first time. At no cost he added an air return to ensure peak proficiency. I said, â Iâ ll order filtersâ he said, â Mr Allen, Iâ ll take several filters to the house and explain to the tenants the importance of replacing the filters regularly.â Don is that kind of person. Many AC repair companies send different people to provide quotes, install, invoice, and collect so they can avoid accountability. Not Don. He is involved in every part of the job to make sure customers receive the best every step of the way. Don runs a One-Stop-Shop because he believes success comes through integrity, service and excellence. Thanks Don!"

"The repair technician and Customer Service representatives were spot on. Melinda in the office was absolutely amazing, going above and beyond to find a new part that was being phased out for my older A/C unit. Brennen was the technician who performed the repairs. He kept me informed as to what he found, what needed to be replaced, and what he was going to request, and he even went above and beyond to stress that it was imperative to get the A/C working at my house due to a bedbound parent with a broken hip. I would highly recommend Fire & Ice Heating and Air, LLC."

"Paul and his workers were so nice. They gave me the best price for our new AC unit. I had received other estimates and Mays beat their prices by at least $1500.00.  I had electrical damage from lightening and had to have my deep freezer and my AC unit replaced. The day after they installed the unit I had to have emergency surgery and was in the hospital for over a week. Paul and his secretary contacted and worked with my insurance company and this was such a blessing to me because I was in no way able to handle all this and still be able to recover from my surgery. Because of the surgery and being out of work I was left short on cash and was not able to pay the entire balance of my $1000 deductible to Mr. Mays. He was so kind in allowing me to set up payments which helped take a lot of stress away from me which allowed me to be able to recover from my surgery and not be worried about the balance. All of his employees were so kind and helpful. They did a very professional and neat job when they installed my new heatpump. I am very thankful to Mr. Mays and his staff and I would highly recommend Mr. Mays to any of my friends who are needing any kind of Air Conditioning or Heating work done at their home."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

A power outage can damage your air conditioner, just like a power surge can damage any electrical device or appliance. In most cases, your circuit breaker or built-in surge protection on your AC unit protects your AC and just needs a reset. But in other cases, it might be that your AC compressor or capacitor was blown during the power surge. You’ll need to have an HVAC professional repair or replace any AC parts. 

Here’s how AC professionals will clean your AC coils:

  1. Unplug the AC unit or turn off the breaker to the unit in your circuit breaker box.

  2. Remove the faceplate.

  3. Spray a vacuum hose attachment or compressed air can to remove debris, dust, dirt, and grime.

  4. Use a soft-bristled fin comb to remove stubborn caked-on debris.

  5. Use the vacuum hose to suck up any extra debris.

  6. Take a coil-safe cleaning solution and spray it onto the coils. Try to choose a no-rinse solution.

  7. Let the solution sit for at least 15 minutes.

  8. Gently wipe away loosened grime and debris with a microfiber cloth.

  9. Reattach the faceplate, plug in your AC system, or turn the breaker back on.

At a minimum, an HVAC system should be serviced once per year. However, a twice-a-year service schedule—once in the spring for the cooling system and once in the fall for the heating system—is often recommended, especially for older systems, heat pumps, or in climates with extreme temperatures. Regular service, which includes inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, ensures the system runs efficiently, helps prevent costly breakdowns during peak seasons, and can extend the unit's lifespan. You can also schedule a service if you notice issues like poor performance or strange noises.

This depends on the extent of the freezing. Some ACs only need an hour or two to thaw out, but others may need a full day to completely unfreeze. Once you turn off the system to let it unfreeze, check it periodically to make sure the drain pan doesn’t overflow. When you turn the system back on, keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t start freezing again.

Yes, you can clean your air conditioner filter as a temporary fix for cleaning up dirt, but you’ll eventually need to replace it once the dust starts to accumulate. Use a vacuum with a hose attachment to clean your air filter at least once per year or more often if you have pets.
