"I made an appointment to have duct work replaced due to what I thought was an animal that had gotten underneath and destroyed everything. When they arrived I was told there was way more involved than I thought. I could see by the pictures and after removing some of the under pinning exactly what they were talking about. They could have patched it up and i could have paid them and I would have never known any better, which is exactly what had happened from a previous company. I being very skeptical on who to hire as this is my vacation home but I could not have made a better decision!! After being told of my situation I made the decision to go ahead and replace all the duct work and figured since things had changed it would be the next week before it could be completed , no they were there the next day. They worked through several rain downpours and awful heat but everything and completed,cleaned up and I had great air once again. Randy and Christina actually came by during the job and it was so nice to meet them!! They could have done a patch job and left with me thinking everything was great but they did not do that. It is so good to know there are decent and honest people you can trust like Randy and Christina Byrd and the guys they have working for them. I was told "mam I just can't patch this up and leave you with it , I just wouldn't feel right and I would hate for anybody to do that to my sister or mother". This whole job was started and completed in 1 day. They cleaned and hauled away everything and I was told he would check in with me in a few days to be sure everything was good!! I could not have been more pleased with the crew and the work they did! I would recommend AIR TIME to everyone! I need to mention the cost...I had another estimate done before choosing anyone for the job and after everything was said and done Air Time saved me hundreds of dollars!! I couldn't have made a better decision!! Air Time is the best."

"Hadn't use our Carolina room for awhile due to the mini-split not working, called Swift for an estimate and they sent Tommy Taylor. After looking the room over as well as the old A/C he worked up a price for a new system. The price was very reasonable and Tommy explained the payment plan in every detail. He was very professional and knowledgeable."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The length of an AC cycle depends on the settings in your thermostat and the unit you have. Central AC doesn't constantly run at full blast the way that a window unit does. A cooling cycle in most homes is 15 to 20 minutes. Then, the unit stays off for seven to 10 minutes to circulate the cold air in the house before the cycle repeats. It should repeat two or three times per hour. A short cycle lasts less than 10 minutes and then turns off.

Choosing between a ductless mini-split and central AC depends on your specific needs. Ductless mini-splits are ideal for targeted cooling, providing zoned comfort and energy efficiency. They are perfect for smaller spaces or homes lacking ductwork. In contrast, central AC offers consistent cooling throughout the entire house but requires ductwork and may be less energy-efficient for smaller spaces. 

Consider factors like budget, home size, and cooling preferences to make the right choice. Combining both systems, with a ductless mini-split in specific areas, can also be a viable solution for tailored comfort and overall efficiency.

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.

Yes, running your air conditioning unit too cold can cause condensation in the air ducts and built up moisture on the air filter, resulting in a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Mold and mildew growth can irritate those with respiratory issues, so it’s best to keep your AC running at a normal temperature.

If the air coming from your AC unit is cool but never quite cold, there are a few reasons this might be happening. For starters, it could signal that your refrigerant levels are low. If there are no other indications of this particular issue, like hissing noises or frozen refrigerant lines, anything from dirty filters to damaged condenser or evaporator coils could be responsible for the problem.
