"Andrew and his assistant were very professional in their approach to cleaning our air ducts and dryer vent. The services they provided were totally consistent with how they describe their approach to the service they provide. This included the very helpful before and after pictures taken which would convince anyone of the need to have this work performed in their homes."

"They were able to send out a tech to repair our AC pretty quickly (within a few days), even though this was during a bout of unusually high temperatures. The tech arrived towards the end of the given arrival window; even though he was still within the window, they called me that day to let me know he would be later rather than earlier, which was nice. The tech diagnosed the issue, and discussed options with me and fixed it (low line refrigerant, possible leak). All that was great, and prices seemed reasonable. The only negative part of the experience is that there was an extra charge to de-ice the frozen interior coils. I could have done that in advance if I knew I was supposed to (the tech seemed surprised I hadn't, or that I wasn't told to). Maybe that's obvious to others, but it's not that big of a deal, just an an annoying extra cost."

"Replaced the original AC Unit(at least 25yr old), added a new humidifier to furnace and a new smart thermostat. The original guy who did repair work, Phil, was knowledgeable but at the end of the day wanted to sell anything he can. He had convinced me I was able to get rebates through ComEd for upgrading AC unit and adding the smart thermostat. At this time, I have been unable to get any rebates because he failed to mention I need to also have a furnace that qualifies and there was no receipts on the thermostat to claim that rebate. The day of the install, the guys that were here, did great work. They installed everything and added a damper to furnace(which does not work that great). When the guy installed the thermostat, he installed the wrong one and i had to show him the work order for the correct one. He left and it took a week for him to return to install the correct one. He also left with all the boxes."

"I had the opportunity, and the pleasure, to work side by side coordinating with the office manager Maggie. She was so intentive with all my needs and always made it easy to get my questions answered. Maggie kept me informed on every step of this very large process from scheduling a crane and road crew, to getting permits and having the work inspected. SHE MADE THE WHOLE THING SIMPLE. Now the work crews worked quickly to get things running for us. The original plan was to take two days getting the old air conditioners down from the roof and then the new ones up and running. The crews had everything done in less then a day. I could not be happier with my experience with Phoenix HVAC!! I will definitely hire them again!"

"The technician came out after 11 pm when other companies could not until the next morning. Mr. Meriweather, was very courteous, and fast with the repair. I will definitely call G & R in the future for any heating and air conditioning needs."

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

You can protect your air conditioner in the winter by turning off the power at the thermostat and performing routine HVAC maintenance in the spring. Regular maintenance, cleaning, and repair of your AC unit helps protect it and extend its life span. If you have a window AC unit, remove it from the window and store it in a dry place during the winter. Window units cannot withstand freezing temperatures. Keeping them in your window also allows cold air to seep into your home.

No. Your furnace does not run your air conditioner. Both units use the same system of ductwork to move conditioned air throughout your home, but you can have a furnace without having an air conditioner and vice versa. Furnaces are only for heating your home. You can buy a system that does both, however, like a split system or a heat pump (yes, heat pumps cool, too).

Evaporator coils in an HVAC system typically last between 10 and 15 years, which is roughly the same lifespan as the entire AC unit. The longevity of the coils can be affected by usage frequency, environmental conditions, and how well they are maintained. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspections, can extend their durability. If the evaporator coil fails in an older air conditioner, it may be more cost-effective to replace the whole unit rather than just the coil.

The simplest indicator is how long it’s been since your last tune-up. You should schedule an annual AC tune-up each spring. Beyond that, there are multiple signs that your AC needs a quick check by a professional. These issues include higher-than-average energy bills, decreased air flow from vents, higher indoor temperatures, and an air conditioning unit that stays on all the time or frequently turns on and off.

If your whole house is cold that’s one thing, but what if you only have a few rooms that are cold? First, you need to determine why this may be happening. A good place to start is to investigate the potential causes listed in this article—heat transfer, airflow, thermostat problems, humidity, and insulation. Once you’ve narrowed down the issue, you’d apply the same principles to the cold rooms as you would to the entire home.
