"Our furnace failed on a rather cold day. We called Arctic Air Conditioning and they sent a technician the same morning. The system was ~30 year old, and we know we needed to replace. Once we confirmed that the furnace is not salvageable, they sent an advisor, Chris, to do the measurement and gave an estimate. Chris was able to arrange the installation in 2 days. The team came and completed the work as expected. The work was done in about 5 hours: removal of the old gas furnace & AC unit, installation of new units and new thermostat. They made sure we inspect their work, and showed us how the furnace works. The AC will need to be fully charged when the weather is warmer. A couple things to know is that the utility rebate is small and not worth taking into purchase decision. The Lennox thermostat works well, but the phone app does not work (rated extremely poorly on app store), so don't bother. We picked the better upgrade, which is reflected in the project cost."

"I had such a great experience with Liv Air! They serviced my boiler, and from start to finish the process was seamless. Leo is incredibly professional, easy to speak with, and genuinely such a nice person. He?s honest, reliable, and you can tell he truly cares about his customers. The technician who came to replace the parts was also wonderful ? very clean, respectful, and efficient. I?ve dealt with other companies before, but no one even comes close to the level of service Liv Air provides. Their pricing is fair and reasonable, and they answer calls right away, which is so rare these days. I?m honestly taken back by how great they were. I highly recommend Liv Air!"

"This company did very good job! Technician cleaned all AC ducts, including main unit, used special fogger machine to disinfect and treat ducs and vents in every room of my home! I was skeptical at first. When I used another company 4-5 years ago, they used very basic and primitive tools and we notice zero difference. Home Lux serviced be in late Sept, and I can confidently say that these guys know what they?re doing ??. Will call them again in a few"

"Great company would highly recommend using their service to anyone. I had three quotes provided from different companies to replace my furnace and A/C. Tamco Air came out and gave us a quote that was lower than the other competitors. The install went well. The men were very professional and hard workers. Excellent service! they were fast, knowledgeable, and cleaned up after themselves. The job was completed in a timely manner. They provided me with all the documents I needed for the warranty and answered all of my questions. If I ever need services in the future I will definitely be calling this company again. I highly recommend them! Donâ t be hesitant about calling them for anything. All in all, everything went perfectly."

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

The outdoor portions of air conditioners are designed to weather the rain, so you don’t need to worry about it. An awning or roof will help protect them from snow or falling debris, which can do more damage. This is true of both window AC and outdoor units for larger systems.

Ideally, an AC system should never need more Freon (a popular refrigerant) because it circulates in a closed loop. However, refrigerant leaks are not uncommon and may occur gradually over 5 to 15 years. If your system has a leak, it will need to be topped up in a process known as an AC recharge. Signs of a refrigerant leak include weakened AC performance, increased humidity in your home, higher utility bills, and a hissing sound from the unit. The cost of an AC recharge will depend on the size and type of your AC unit, as well as the type of refrigerant it uses.

Common signs of insufficient return air include uneven temperatures, with some parts of your home feeling hotter or colder than others, and noticeable differences in air pressure between rooms. You might also observe that more air is blowing in rooms closer to the AC unit. Leaky air ducts can also be a related issue or clue.

To keep your air conditioner in good working condition, you should have it serviced by a professional at least once per year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. If your AC unit is 10 years or older, consider servicing it twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall) to catch potential problems early and help it reach its full lifespan. During a service visit, a technician will inspect, clean, and replace parts as needed. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs. As a DIY task, you can also clean the evaporator coils annually.

If your AC runs constantly, it could be due to a number of things, including a faulty thermostat, incorrect temperature settings, or broken equipment. Alternatively, you might have an airflow problem (for example, blocked vents or leaky ductwork). Either way, an HVAC pro can identify the specific problem and fix it for you.
