"Could not recommend this company more to help you with whatever you HVAC needs are. Knew I would need to replace my A/C system at some point and that day finally came. Absolute Comfort was there the next day to give me a quote. I chose to get a full system (AC & Furnace) and their price beat a quote from another company by $1,500.. and the competitor quote was for only the A/C. The installers were professional and personable despite the attic being extremely hot on the day of installation."

"Great experience all around! We used L3 to install our new Carrier HVAC system. Rhett was very helpful with everything! Not only was he great with explaining options and helping us decide on the best one for our house and our needs, but he was very responsive and accommodating through the whole process. Very quick turnaround to installation and great value for the price, job, and service! Quality job and personable service through the whole process. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area!"

"Kamara is THE BEST. He fixed my HVAC problem and at affordable price, where Morris Jenkins couldnâ t fix it. He has very good knowledge about the system. He puts his heart and soul into the problem to fix it and his work definitely speaks. He walk through the system, the problem, the options and cost effective one out of it. I was able to gain some knowledge on the HVAC system and a big thanks to him for that too! I was a Morris Jenkins priority advantage member and now I got rid of it and I chose to go with Kamara for any further HVAC maintenance and itâ s problems. I would definitely recommend him and obviously 10/10."

"I called GSM inquiring about their HVAC and insulation services. I also asked if I could have someone perform a Manual J load calculation (surprise to me, the Manual J calc was free!) as I felt that my existing heat pump was sized too small for my home (2.5 ton dual-zone single stage heat pump for 2200sq ft 2-story house). We agreed on an appointment time, and they sent Kelly out to my house. Kelly was very nice and professional, and did a thorough job explaining what all could be done and what my options were. Due to having so little room to work inside of the mechanical closest, you would have to remove the air handler completely just to wrap all of the duct work. Since I would be removing the old air handler that was 8 years old anyway, I decided to replace the entire system with a new Amana 3-ton 18 SEER dual-zoned heat pump. Kelly also told me they could seal up the hole & the mechanical closet so that hot air could no longer enter that space as well. I agreed to their quote, and they came out a week later (it would've been sooner but GSM wanted to make sure that the new system was designed properly, so they had to architect and design the layout of the new equipment to fit the small space) to do the work. Owen and Jason came out to perform the installation. They were both very professional & thorough, and they did an excellent job with the swap out & installation of the new heat pump. When GSM told me that it would take two days to do the work, I was prepared to be miserably hot trying to sleep at night with no air conditioning. Not only did GSM bring a portable AC unit for me use that evening so that wouldn't be the case, Owen and Jason actually got the heat pump wired and working the first day so I had full AC that evening, and the portable unit wasn't needed! They also insulated the attic space & mechanical closet with spray foam and foam board so the hot attic air will no longer be an issue. All in all, my experience with GSM has been great! They've been easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, they did an excellent job with the installation of the new equipment, and now I can rest easy knowing that everything has been taken care of!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

AC evaporator coils should be cleaned at least once per year to keep your unit in good condition. For optimal performance, consider cleaning them twice a year—once before and once after the main cooling season. More frequent cleanings may be necessary for older systems, units with performance issues, or those in climates with high levels of humidity, dust, and dirt.

On a summer day, expect your AC to run between 12 and 16 hours. However, this time frame depends on just how hot it is outside and the comfortable temperature you’re hoping to maintain indoors. Assuming the size of your AC is appropriate for the space you’re trying to cool, it shouldn’t be a problem for it to work this many hours.

A one-stage air conditioner only has one setting, while a two-stage air conditioner has a high and low setting. A two-stage air conditioner costs between $500 and $2,500 more than a traditional air conditioner, but it has a longer lifespan and helps to increase energy efficiency. To make this decision, you should consider your energy needs and available budget.

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.

Yes, you should turn off your AC if it’s leaking. Turning off the system prevents more condensation from leaking and reduces strain on the unit if a damaged internal component or lack of refrigerant is the cause. While this may temporarily stop the leak, water can continue to drip from a thawing coil even after the system is off. As soon as you notice a leak, turn off the unit and investigate the source or call a professional for an inspection.
