"I contacted Mabreeze for my hvac no longer working. They were professional from start to finish. Scheduling went great they was very accommodating to my needs and was able to get out during there busy season. After diagnosing my unit presented me with options and we decided to go with the top of the line replacement which made the most sense for us. They got this taken care of as soon as they possibly could. Very clean job they took care of my home as if it was there's and even offered a great warranty! They will be my go to Hvac company for life!"

"Received prompt call after setup on Angi. Wagner HVAC did service call on AC unit had issue with fan motor not turning on. TEMP WAS 90 degrees plus in house. Diagnosed that fan motor ok. Found issue with new thermostat that was not wired correctly. Checked compressor for faults. Other providers actually quoted replacement. The price for the service call saved me thousands. I would highly recommend WAGNER HVAC AND REFRIGERATION LLC to everyone. I intend to purchase maintenance plan with them also."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

No, you should not run an air conditioner with a Freon leak. If you think your AC unit is leaking refrigerant, shut it off immediately. When you keep using a leaky air conditioner, it could damage the unit and release more refrigerant. After turning off the AC, have an HVAC pro come take a look at the unit.

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.

The best way to save money on HVAC repairs is by regularly having your system inspected and maintained. This can prevent bigger problems and costly repairs and replacements in the future. It’s also smart to buy quality equipment and hire companies that provide warranties on equipment and labor. If you need repairs, you may be able to save money by cashing in on rebates and incentives or keeping the area around your HVAC unit clear to shorten the time your contractor needs to spend in your home.

There are many recognizable symptoms of AC compressor failure. They include loud banging noises, hot air being continually circulated in your home despite running the AC at full blast, uneven airflow and cooling, and electrical issues like constant surges due to the compressor working overtime. While some of these symptoms, like uneven cooling, can have other root causes, they are common indicators of compressor problems.
