"A giant shoutout to Atlanta Air Authority for coming to our rescue this week. We came home from being out of town on Sunday to a hot house. Our A/C unit was toast. Their quick response and fantastic service had us back up and running with a new unit within 3 days. Canâ t say enough good things about them. Definitely check them out next time you need HVAC service!!"

"I was referred to Paze Heating and Cooling by a well-respected friend, and I immediately understood why. I have referred this company to several others and will continue to do so. Mr. Zeno Pace and his team are expert technicians. His responsiveness is very timely and his pricing is well worth the level of service he gives. I recently had an A/C problem that was covered by my home warranty company. Mr. Zeno helped me understand and articulate the repairs needed so that I would not be taken advantage of by the other contractor. Ultimately, I was taken advantage of by the other contractor, and Paze Heating and Air came to the rescue. Mr. Zeno responded immediately and fixed the damage the other contractor left. You will not go wrong with Paze Heating and Cooling."

"As a realtor, I often encounter homes needing new HVACs or repairs. I constantly recommend Triad Mechanical to my clients because they are fast and affordable! Last week, I had a competing business give me a quote for a new AC for the basement. They quoted $7000. I immediately called Kaylee at Triad to see if they could give us a quote as well. They came out the next day and within fifteen minutes my seller received an estimate with almost $2500 savings! Needless to say, we will be moving ahead with Triad!"

"This was my second quote and this company is amazing. Quickly identified the issue, changed the motor, provided a filter and made sure everything was working on one trip within a few hours. The previous company (Air Pros, LLC) said it was unfixable and tried to sell me a new unit over $6k which was a huge scam. Don't go to those guys, work with this family owned honest business. Keep in mind HVAC repairs in many cases are not cheap, I own 3 houses and have paid several hundred or more when an HVAC is old and need repairs."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.

Swamp coolers cost approximately 50 percent less to install than central air conditioners and cost less to run. Operation costs depend on the size of the unit and home, your climate, utility rates in your area, and the system’s efficiency. Swamp coolers use 15 to 35 percent less power than air conditioners.

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. 

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.

While most air conditioners can last between 10 and 20 years, they will only last this long (or longer) if properly taken care of. Routine maintenance and inspections help keep your AC unit running in tip-top shape but understanding what factors will decrease its lifespan will also help keep your unit running cool.

Some things that shorten your AC’s lifespan include:

  • Extreme outdoor conditions, like high humidity or extensive salt spray 

  • Improper installation

  • Extended run times, either by the unit being too small or the thermostat setting too low

  • Not performing required maintenance

A blockage in the ductwork may prevent air from flowing through the vent. If some rooms in your home are very hot or cold and another isn't, that can be a sign that a vent is blocked. Another sign of a blockage is a buildup of dirt or dust around the vent. In either case, a duct installer or cleaning service can investigate the issue for you and recommend a course of action.
