"We pay $14/mo. and they automatically come out twice a year.  They come in January and check your heater and July and check your A/C.  Then you get a discount on any service needed.  It's great, they always are good. I think they're kind of expensive but, well they're probably no more expensive than others.  It always cost a lot when you have to have repairs done.  They are always very responsive when we call. They're always here within the time frame that they give us.  Only one time did they call and say they would be later."

"I have had Jason wire two garages installing sub panels and all outlets. He also moved the meter box on a home because PG&E said we had to. He did good work things clean, and was quite pleasant to have around I would definitely hire him again as a matter of fact, Iâ m planning the next project soon"

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers are actually quite similar, though they perform different jobs. Dehumidifiers reduce moisture in the air, while air conditioners work to cool the home. A good central AC unit will naturally perform a certain level of dehumidification due to its design, but it will not be able to handle excessive levels of moisture.

While personal preferences widely vary, sleep experts say the best temperature for sleeping is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit rather than 78. If you do choose to sleep with your AC unit tuned to 78 degrees, you might want to use only a sheet or light blanket rather than a comforter. You might also consider installing a window unit in your bedroom so that you can be cooler in bed without wasting energy cooling the whole house.

The general rule of thumb for figuring out how much AC tonnage you need in your home is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of space you need to cool, you’ll need one ton of AC cooling power. So, a 1,000-square-foot home will need 2 tons of AC power. 

This is a bit of a trick question. Even though the seasons arrive at the same time every year, the weather doesn’t always behave according to the calendar. So, while it’s fair to say that you can expect to turn on your AC starting in late May or early June, it all depends on the outside temperature and how cool you like to keep your home.

Fixing a leak in an AC unit costs $200 to $1,600, depending on the type of leak and any related damage. But depending on the age and condition of your AC, it might make more sense to replace the AC unit instead of repairing it. If your AC is only a few years old and relatively problem-free, then repairing it is the right call. But if it’s nearing a decade old and has other issues, consider replacing it.
