"Dale, from Upstate arrived to service my AC unit as it was not working. I thought I may need a new AC unit, but he advised me that he should check everything out first to make sure. He did and was able to quickly diagnose the problem quickly and fix it with new components that were not working. Dale was very friendly, knowledgeable, capable and a pleasure to meet. Dale was very honest and did not try to sell me anything I did not need and his workmanship was top notch! I would endorse Dale and Upstate for any of your AC needs and have entered them as "highly capable and honest" in my iPhone address list!"

"Last summer I woke up to my AC not working in the middle of July and no one was free to come out to my house to repair it. My friend recommended Tierney Heating and David showed up within 2 hours and figured out the capacitor had failed and needed to be replaced and got a new one and fixed it that same day. I was very thankful for him coming out when no one else could because my mother cannot be in extreme heat for too long and I now use Tierney Heating for all my furnace and AC needs."

A home AC unit provides anywhere from one-half to five tons of cooling and requires approximately two to four pounds of refrigerant per ton of cooling. At approximately five to 10 minutes to fill one pound of refrigerant, a home that requires three tons of cooling will take about six to 12 pounds of refrigerant and approximately 30 minutes to two hours to completely recharge the unit.
A non-maintained AC is more likely to perform poorly, increase your energy bills, and undergo more severe issues like breakage and water damage. That’s why DIY cleaning or professional maintenance is recommended annually. Otherwise, you might end up paying more in the end than you would for annual service. You can purchase cheap AC cleaning kits if you prefer going the DIY route.
There are plenty of different not-so-great sounds to hear from your air conditioning unit, like squealing, grinding, water running, excessive gurgling, banging, and clanking. Each of these sounds can indicate a different malfunction with your unit, so it’s important to have a professional assess the problem before it gets worse.
Yes, mini-split systems are generally less expensive to run than central air conditioners and are significantly more energy-efficient. Because mini-splits do not rely on ductwork, they avoid the energy loss associated with ducted systems, allowing cooled or heated air to reach its destination more efficiently. Additionally, they offer zoned control, meaning you can run units in individual rooms and turn them off in unoccupied areas. This capability can lead to energy savings of about 30% compared to a central air system, resulting in a lower monthly energy bill.
Yes, through thorough cleaning and inspection, optimizing functionality, and reducing energy use.
