"I would highly recommend Affordable A/C and Jonathan for your A/C needs. They were first to answer my request on a Sunday. Jonathan & his assistant arrived on time Monday morning to install a unit in our attic. They were very professional, efficient & got the job done in a very timely manner. We actually hired them for another job which they completed the following day. Again, I highly recommend Affordable Air Conditioning & Jonathan."

"I am really impressed with the services they provided for my HVAC system replacement. The initial visit from Mr Olman was very professional. We discussed all options available in detail. I received the quote from them the same day that afternoon. I had several questions that were answered immediately. Ms Victoria took care of the communications daily throughout the process. His installers were very professional, polite, friendly and hard working. I can only say that the entire process was rewarding for me to have a major project done so quickly and professionally. I highly recommend them for any of your AC needs whether small or total replacement required. You won't be sorry that you did."

Not only does Mark conduct himself in a very professional manner, his crew is also very respectful and professional as well. From start to finish this work was a definite value for the money. I will be using Patriot anytime the need arises."

I highly recommend Sensible Air Solutions for all of your needs, whether it be a full HVAC installation or HVAC service/repairs."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
To lower humidity quickly, run a dehumidifier or your home's air conditioner or turn on exhaust fans to extract moisture. These methods can quickly and effectively bring your home's humidity levels to a comfortable condition. However, you should consistently practice humidity-reducing tasks to maintain proper indoor humidity levels.
A dirty air conditioning coil can cause your unit to work overtime, leading to reduced efficiency, higher energy use, more wear and tear, and possible ice buildup. If the coils corrode, refrigerant can leak, causing damage, possible mold growth, and an expensive repair bill. By cleaning your AC coils once a year, you’ll have a more efficient unit that’s likely to last longer.
The cost of annual maintenance depends on the type of HVAC system you have. AC service typically costs an average of $200 but ranges from $100 to $550. If your system needs repairs, the price will vary significantly depending on what needs fixing. However, addressing the issues as they arise can prevent further damage to your unit and keep it operating efficiently for much longer.
There are a few reasons your AC is running but not cooling your room. Thermostat issues and dust and debris, which can clog your system, are common problems. It could also be a broken component, such as a compressor, blower fan, or evaporator coils. You’ll need to call a pro to diagnose the issue.
The DOE is phasing out AC units with SEER ratings that fall below 14 or 15. The exact minimum rating depends on your region. In the northern United States, new ACs must have a minimum SEER rating of 14, though you can still buy and install older systems as long as they were compliant when they were manufactured. In the southern and southwestern United States, you cannot buy or install older air conditioners with lower SEER ratings. The minimum rating is between 14.5 and 15, depending on the power of the unit.
