"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."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
Indications of an HVAC problem include inconsistent heating or cooling throughout your home, unpredictable temperature changes, or inadequate air flow from vents. Abnormal sounds such as grinding, banging, or hissing, and unpleasant smells like mustiness or burning are also potential warning signs. A rise in energy costs without an increase in usage may also imply decreased efficiency. An HVAC system that frequently cycles on and off or cannot maintain a stable temperature is malfunctioning.
There are several AC unit problems to troubleshoot, but luckily you can identify them by keeping a close eye on your system. Look out for the following signs that your AC needs repair:
Unusual noises during operation
AC unit blows warm air
AC unit doesn’t come on or turn off with temperature changes
Strange odors come through the vents
AC unit cycles on and off rapidly
Indoor air is more humid or less comfortable than usual
AC unit keeps tripping your breaker
Fan in the outdoor compressor doesn’t operate when the AC is on
Yes, a dirty air filter can cause a higher electric bill. That’s because clogged filters make it harder for air to flow through your HVAC system, which forces it to work harder and use more energy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, replacing dirty filters can save you between 5% and 15% in utility costs.
No, it isn’t necessarily bad to turn your AC on and off frequently—contrary to popular belief. Even if you stop and start your AC throughout the day, it won’t use as much energy as it would if you ran it nonstop.
If you’re concerned about your power consumption and energy costs, there are a few simple ways to use your AC more efficiently. Regularly cleaning the filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using a programmable thermostat are all great choices.
You will enjoy greater energy efficiency and save on your annual energy bills, with new, modern HVAC systems using 30% to 50% less energy than older models. Upgrading your HVAC system is also a great way to embrace new technology, such as smart thermostats, lighting, fan speed, and humidity from your phone or tablet.
