"I was blown away by my experience with Shamrock. 2 other companies told me I needed a new unit and that my 6 yr old unit was basically junk. Shamrock found the small hole instantly ( others did not even check for it), showed me exactly what was wrong and what would fix it, came the following morning and repaired my unit for a fraction of what it would've cost me anywhere else. My AC has been running perfectly ever since. Will and Bobby were nothing short of professional, caring and efficient. I highly recommend their services and can't thank them enough for their honesty and expertise!"

"We've been using this HVAC company at our restaurant, Curry and Noodle in Winston-Salem, and we couldn't be happier. Running a busy kitchen means our heating and cooling systems take a real beating, and Chris has been nothing short of amazing. He shows up on time, communicates clearly, and always makes sure everything is running perfectly before he leaves. It's rare to find someone who treats your business like it's their own — but that's exactly how Chris makes you feel. Highly recommend to any business owner in the area looking for reliable, honest HVAC service!"

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

While an air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, it is not recommended as it will not work efficiently. A dirty filter forces the system to work harder to circulate cool air, leading to reduced airflow, increased wear and tear, and higher energy bills. This added strain can cause the air conditioner to overheat or fail prematurely. Furthermore, a clogged filter may allow dust and dirt to accumulate in your ductwork, negatively impacting air quality. It is more cost-effective to clean or replace filters regularly than to pay higher utility bills and risk needing to replace the entire AC unit.

When your HVAC technician mentions recharging your home AC unit, they’re referring to the process of topping off the unit with refrigerant, so the levels are properly maintained and pressurized. Normally, a properly functioning AC unit doesn’t need additional refrigerant, but AC units can develop leaks or other problems that decrease the amount of refrigerant needed.

If you’re shopping around for a rooftop AC unit, you may hear them referred to as “package units.” That’s because rooftop AC systems are all-in-one heating and cooling units that connect directly to your home’s ductwork. If your AC repair pro references a package unit, they are referring to the system on your roof.

There are ways to detect a refrigerant leak with several different testing methods. However, most homeowners can figure out something’s wrong with their AC unit by noticing these common signs:

  • Ice forming on the evaporator coil

  • Water leaks near the AC unit

  • Frequent hissing sounds

  • Increased electric bills

  • Unit takes longer than usual to cool

  • Unit is blowing hot air

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.
