"We have used Absolute Comfort Heating and Air for over a year now. Each time we have used their services, Shawn has been able to find the cause of the issues with our systems without having to order major parts or replace the old systems. Shawn and his team are professional, dependable, trustworthy, honest, and the ABSOLUTE best out there. We were so lucky to find these guys after years of having bad experience with other companies. They went above and beyond to ensure our family (with new baby) was warm in our home- (ie: they came out the same day that we called and made a trip after hours to fix another issue) so thankful guys!"

"They didn't come on time at all.  The issue I had was that they had a price advertised for a system check and when they came they said that I had two different air conditioning units and it would be two different prices.  I felt that was a bit misleading and they didn't say that when I called to make the appointment. The guy that came was fine.  He was great.  I was happy with the service.  I just felt mislead."

"I initially scheduled an appointment to have my dryer vents cleaned. Kevin arrived earlier than the scheduled time and that was much appreciated (he actually called to ask if he could come earlier). After he took care of the dryer vents, I asked if he could take a quick look at the fan/exhaust in one of my bathrooms and let me know if I could schedule a later date to have those cleaned. Not only did Kevin take a look, but he cleaned them with a smile and no extra charge. Kevin, with Appalachian Air Ducts, is a true professional and I will absolutely hire them in the future!"

"Reagan called to ask about my issue with my AC, and made time to come by my house the same day. He called prior to arriving and came at the time he said he’d be here. He was professional, courteous and informative. I would recommend him, and will absolutely contact him again for future HVAC needs."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The higher the BTU rating an air conditioner has, the more effective it can be at cooling your space. It will cool off your room faster in the short term. However, over the long term, if the unit has too many BTUs for the space, it can wear down the unit faster and shorten its life span.

ACs don't run on water. They're not connected to drain pipes or any part of your plumbing system. However, they need refrigerant to run. Refrigerant is a gas or liquid that has a low boiling point and absorbs the heat in your home. ACs need this in order to be functional and cool your home. If you suspect your AC is low on refrigerant, you need to contact a licensed HVAC professional. Refrigerant is a dangerous chemical that requires specialized training and permits to work with. 

If you have central air conditioning, it’s fine to run your AC all day if that’s what you want—as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don’t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we’ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren’t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time.

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.

It’s critical to use the right size AC for your space and not go too small or too big. If you purchase an undersized unit, it won’t properly cool your house, and it has to work harder to reach the optimal temperature. This will eventually wear your unit out. An oversized unit can spell trouble because it will turn off and on more frequently, which also wears out your AC unit. An oversized unit also causes humidity in the home.
