"Very pleased working with Adams Heating and Cooling. They installed a new central air conditioner system from Rheem. Everyone I spoke with from Amber and Gene in the office, Terry in Sales, and Joey R and Alvin with the installation were friendly and professional."

"We've now had two amazing experiences with Kenny Do-It & Principe. We needed a quick fix in our AC unit and they responded immediately. We most recently hired them to install a central air unit in our new cabin and we are so happy we moved forward with them. Their communication is spot on and they were wonderful to work with. Absolutely recommend! Excellent work and great people."

"We were extremely pleased with the service of FinMar Comfort. Sean was knowledgeable and professional. He installed a split heat/air conditioning unit in our sunroom so we could use it all seasons. He went out of his way to find us a unit that was reliable but fit our budget. Sean also helped us every step of the way with permits and warrenty information. Would defintely recommend FinMar Comfort"

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

This depends on the extent of the freezing. Some ACs only need an hour or two to thaw out, but others may need a full day to completely unfreeze. Once you turn off the system to let it unfreeze, check it periodically to make sure the drain pan doesn’t overflow. When you turn the system back on, keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t start freezing again.

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.

You will only need to refill your AC with refrigerant if it has a leak. Otherwise, a modern, well-maintained AC will most likely never need a recharge. You may notice a leak in an older system if your bills are higher, you hear a hissing sound, or if the air is blowing out hot.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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.
