These guys were absolutely great. I had them come out to check on some duct work that I was thinking needed to be completely replaced. I had tried to get other companies to come out but because my crawlspace was so small, the companies either turned me away over the phone or didn’t show up!...

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

If you don’t clean your AC coils, dirt and debris build up inside your unit, making transferring heat more difficult. As a result, your HVAC system will work harder to run, potentially increasing your energy usage and utility bills. Neglected coils may also become corroded, which can lead to refrigerant leaks and mold growth—both of which can cause a slew of negative health impacts.

An AC compressor is one of the most expensive parts to replace on an AC unit if it breaks. You’ll pay up to $2,300 if you need a new one. If your AC is blowing warm air, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of air coming out of the ducts at all, or the unit cycles on and off a lot, you may have a broken compressor. Call a pro to check out your system.

You should plan to change your AC unit's filter every one to three months, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations. You should also clean the coils at least once per year, but if you have pets or someone in your household has allergies, you might need to clean them more often. Fortunately, many pros will clean the coils and change the filter for you during an inspection, which you should schedule once or twice per year.

No, it's not advisable to only replace the outside AC unit connected to your system. AC units are designed to work as a cohesive system, and older units work differently than newer units. Therefore, replacing only one component can lead to incompatibilities that affect the system’s performance. Replacing one component can void your warranty, costing you money for repairs.

Yes, it is possible. An electrical fire can break out if the compressor has inadequate ventilation. When it overheats but doesn't have a proper thermal cutout, this can cause the motor to short-circuit and catch fire. This risk is exacerbated if flammable materials, like dust and fallen leaves, are clogging the unit. The compressor overheating won't start a fire by itself, but poor maintenance and installation can increase the risk once it hits its breaking point and short-circuits.
