"The entire HVAC system stopped working on our newly bought home (closed 2 months ago). So that was a shock; and of course it was during the hottest part of summer in south Louisiana with a heat index of 107* The initial technician that was dispatched (Luke) was open and honest with us about the condition of the system from the very start. He actually showed me where the problems were and took time to explain what those meant for our system. I was honestly worried that I was going to have a guy come out and spend a few minutes looking at it and just say "you need a new one." But Luke took the time to explain exactly why we should consider a new system but he also didn't pressure us into it. He was willing to go with whatever we were comfortable with doing. We talked about the different options for repairs. He was honest about the uncertainty of those fixes and exactly what would be covered by their warranty and what wouldn't. The fact that he showed me physical evidence to back up all of the repairs he recommended helped make the decision so much easier for us. After discussing all of our options with him, we decided to replace the entire system (super scary concept for a 1st time homeowner that hasn't even fully unpacked the moving boxes). Mr. Teddy Swan (the design consultant) came out within 30 minutes and spent hours with me discussing our unique situation and designing a system that fit our needs and our budget. He went through our house with a fine tooth comb and walked me through his thought process every step of the way. He explained the good and the bad. We talked about what our budget was, and from there he drew up multiple design plans and levels of service for us to chose from. And then he did everything in his power to make sure we got the financing we needed for the job. Two days later and we sit in our home in comfort. None of this would have been possible without Teddy and the guys behind the scenes at Accutemp. The cost was more than I expected, not going to lie. And I know we could have found another company to do it cheaper (you can always find a cheaper guy) but with inflation being what it is and with the quality of service we were provided, I understand the cost. I now have complete peace of mind over the next 10 years because of their "not a dime" warranty and that alone is worth the cost to me. Thankfully Accutemp offers great financing so we were able to get the entire job accomplished for a very affordable monthly note. The installation team (Jhon, Jimmy and the rest of their team) gave 100% for the entire 12+ hours they were here installing our new system and got it all done in one day. I am beyond happy with the quality of service we received and look forward to the next 10 years of continued service."

"I would also recommend Marvin's A/C & Heating. He arrived on time, told us what was wrong with our A/C unit, had it repaired and cooling again in little over an hour. He was friendly, professional and didn't over charge us for his services. Also was able to tell us what was causing the issues and made further recommendations that were more cost effective for our budget. We would definitely use Marvin again for our heating and cooling problems. Thank you Marvin!"

"The repairman came within a few hours of our call on a day that Baton Rouge was experiencing Hurricane Laura! The air conditioning was needed due to hot humid air outside and the family has a 6 month old baby! The problem was repaired within 45 minutes and no charge was made as we had a warrantee on the unit. I Highly recommend this company."

"Newton Williams was amazing and knows everything about ac, heating and electrical and more. I am so relieved. Every year someone comes to fix something. He fixed it all and cleaned the outside unit perfectly. Nobody to the time to explain or do the work he did. He let me know what it should be like and he fixed it. The air smells clean and colder than it used to get. I will never trust anyone else."

"Very professional and totally knowledgeable about his products and installation. He worked with me on trying to explain what was necessary for my job and didnâ t try to sell me more than I needed. In the end I did decide to replace The whole AC and Heating Unit for peace of mind through no press from him. He has a additional one year warranty on labor only if needed. He was here on a Thursday and started the job on Friday then finished on Saturday. He moved his schedule around to accommodate me so I wouldnâ t be without AC. He was dependable and on time. I know I can call him for my future AC issues if any."

"Had signature air come out to do a maintenance on my unit only to find out it needed some repairs. After the tech finished with the maintenance he showed me pictures of what needed repairs and explained everything that needed to be done to prolong the life of my unit. He gave me a great price and we went ahead and did all the repairs. The tech was extremely thorough and professional. I’m very pleased with the work he did. I will gladly recommend signature air to all my friends and family! Amazing job!!!"

Air Conditioning questions, 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.

The length of an AC cycle depends on the settings in your thermostat and the unit you have. Central AC doesn't constantly run at full blast the way that a window unit does. A cooling cycle in most homes is 15 to 20 minutes. Then, the unit stays off for seven to 10 minutes to circulate the cold air in the house before the cycle repeats. It should repeat two or three times per hour. A short cycle lasts less than 10 minutes and then turns off.

Don’t run your AC with a wet filter. It can cause your AC to work too hard, which will run up your utility bill and cause extra wear and tear on the system. You could also spread moisture and mold throughout your house. Turn off the AC, remove the wet filter, and check for cracks or clogs. Fix the problem (with a pro’s help, if you need it), and put a dry filter in place before you turn the system back on.

Here’s the cost formula to find out how much it’ll cost you to run a window air conditioner in your home:  Watts * (hours used) / 1,000 * (Local kWh) = daily cost of running a window unit. If you need help calculating the cost of running your window AC unit, consult an AC repair or installation pro for an accurate estimate.

Your AC might not cool after a power outage because of a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or damage to the compressor or capacitor. If you notice your AC not working after a power outage, in most cases, the breaker has tripped or the system has built-in brownout and blackout protection. Reboot the AC by turning it off at the thermostat, resetting the circuit breaker, and waiting 30 minutes to turn the AC on again.
