"Our refrigerated air conditioning stopped working. My home warranty company didn't act quickly enough. I found White Polar on Angi List. Problem solved to our satisfaction the next morning."
"I was very impressed with the level of service provided for the annual check up on my HVAC system on my home. Ruben showed up right now time for the appointment, was cordial, professional, explained everything that he was going to do to perform the test and checkup on my system and actually was very responsive to any questions I had as he was going through his steps. Additionally, Ruben also explained a lot to me as he went along and what each test would do and the expected outcome from the test. I would definitely have Ruben and Tech Air heating & Cooling back out and recommend them whole heartily. And their charge for the annual maintenance was even $10-20 lower than the HVAC company that you see commercials on TV for the same work (Co. starting with W)"
"Super company. This is my second time using RR and they are the best. On time, prompt, professional and clean up afterwards. They replaced a dying toilet with a power flush unit and tightened up a few loose/leaky faucets. It has been two months and not a leak or flush that was not complete. So with the first call being for a mini-split system and this one for plumbing I can highly recommend RR for all HVAC and plumbing needs. Geddy"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
In most cases, you should hire a professional to carry out services on your HVAC system, as the components are complicated, expensive, and potentially dangerous to work with. However, there are a few things you can do on your own to keep your HVAC system in good condition, including changing your filters every three months, keeping the area around your outdoor condenser clear of debris and plant growth, making sure your or intakes aren’t blocked, and keeping an eye out for increased energy bills, strange noises, and unusual odors related to your equipment.
Yes, it’s best to turn off an AC unit that’s blowing hot air to prevent system damage and avoid expensive energy bills. If you let the AC continue running, it will put more strain on the condenser coil and compressor. Plus, if the AC is blowing hot air because of a refrigerant leak, it can also lead to a frozen evaporator coil.
Signs that your air conditioner capacitor is bad or failing include a range of symptoms. The AC unit may not turn on at all, or it might struggle to start before shutting down randomly or in the middle of a cooling cycle. You might hear a humming or banging noise when it attempts to start, or the compressor might hum without the unit actually running. Other indicators include a smell or smoke coming from the unit, the blower circulating room-temperature air instead of cold air, and an unexpected increase in your energy bills.
A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.
Yes, mini split systems cool equally as well as central air. While a central system circulates air throughout the entire home at the same temperature, a mini split system allows each room to be cooled or heated at different temperatures based on your own preferences. Hire a HVAC professional to determine which type of system is best for your home.
