"Great service from initial contact until payment. Trish was very early to deal with on the phone to set up our appointment. Steve arrived on time and was very pleasant to work with. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He changed our air filter and checked our furnace first. Then, he tested our AC compressor and it worked fine. He did find a lot of debris starting to clog the bottom of the unit. We agreed to have him acid wash the compressor to clear out the debris and prevent additional debris from getting in. Steve advised that this process would only be needed once every five years or so. He did a great job and I would recommend Champion Aire 100%. Keep it up."

"Showed up as scheduled and was able to get one cooler working and the other one started to work but the pump went out! Since these are the Hessaire coolers from Home Depot, the pumps are not standard! Tech showed me the pump model and how to replace it! He did not charge me for the visit! A+++"

"Sean was great about repairing my disconnected dryer air duct having to go into the crawl space and figure out what was going on. I'm glad he was able to get it done very quickly as well. He also had a very good attitude about doing the work."

"Daniel from AC Doctor Heating and Air Conditioning provided outstanding service from start to finish. He quickly diagnosed the issue with my unit and was able to get everything back up and running the very same day, which I truly appreciated. Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain what the problem was and how he planned to fix it. His responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to customer service really stood out. You can tell he takes pride in his work and wants to make sure the job is done right the first time. I highly recommend AC Doctor Heating and Air Conditioning to anyone looking for fast, honest, and high-quality HVAC service. Excellent experience overall!"

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, government incentives and programs are available to encourage energy-efficient upgrades in many regions. These incentives may include tax credits, rebates, grants, and low-interest loans for homeowners who invest in energy-efficient improvements such as HVAC system upgrades, insulation, and efficient windows. The availability and specific details of these incentives can vary by location, so check with your local government or utility company to explore your options.

Most HVAC companies recommend against setting your AC below 70 as it could freeze up the system and cause more problems. Regardless of how hot it is outside, there is generally a 20 degree difference between the outside and inside temperatures, so even if it’s 100 degrees outside, your AC will likely not be able to cool your home to 70 degrees.

There are plenty of different not-so-great sounds to hear from your air conditioning unit, like squealing, grinding, water running, excessive gurgling, banging, and clanking. Each of these sounds can indicate a different malfunction with your unit, so it’s important to have a professional assess the problem before it gets worse.

The top reason to purchase an HVAC maintenance contract is the fact that it ensures you are detecting problems before they turn into expensive fixes. Secondly, this type of contract provides priority service, which is nice if it’s peak busy season. Finally, an HVAC maintenance contract provides discounts on parts and labor for repairs, which can save you a good amount of money if your unit breaks.

While your AC unit may still run even if its capacitor is going bad, doing so takes a lot more energy, so it can drive up your electric bill and cause further damage to your AC unit’s parts. If you suspect a bad capacitor, it’s important to have a professional diagnose and fix the problem before you continue to run your AC.
