"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

It all depends on the unit’s SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio). A higher SEER rating means better efficiency and lower costs for your energy bills. 

Take a look at the product you’re considering purchasing and compare it to other models to decide which one is affordable upfront but will keep your energy costs low over time.

A new HVAC system can increase your home's value by about 5% to 7%, which can translate to an added value of $2,500 to $3,000. The return on investment (ROI) can be around 30%, especially if you upgrade the entire system, including ductwork and insulation. Adding modern features like a smart thermostat can further increase your home’s value by making the heating and cooling systems more efficient and convenient. However, since a new unit can cost $10,000 or more to install, it's important to weigh the upfront cost against the potential increase in home value. For a specific assessment, it's best to consult a local AC installer.

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

A home AC unit provides anywhere from one-half to five tons of cooling and requires approximately two to four pounds of refrigerant per ton of cooling. At approximately five to 10 minutes to fill one pound of refrigerant, a home that requires three tons of cooling will take about six to 12 pounds of refrigerant and approximately 30 minutes to two hours to completely recharge the unit.

No, it's not safe to keep using your unit when it's frozen. Not only can running a frozen unit lead to damage, but it can also potentially overheat, making it a fire hazard. Therefore, it's always best to turn off the AC unit as soon as you notice any ice.
