"My unit went out following a storm. Fearing lightning damage my insurance company told me to get three quotes. I was told by two other local companies that my unit needed to be replaced and could not be repaired. Turns out it was a simple fix that E.F. Martin wrote up for me to turn in to my insurance company and I was able to get the unit repaired without having to file a big claim which would make my premiums go up. I will definitely be using them in the future"

"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."

"The technicians were tops, the wonderful lady who deals with financing has been working diligently to assist me with straightening out a mess caused by an employee who did Not inform me that there was more to the pad document that was not fully displayed. It did not show nor did the employee explain that an outfit called Green Skies could place a lien on my home if I made no payment in 60 days. The finance company could place the lien on my car which is more valuable than the central heating & air condition unit."

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it’s normal for an AC to drip water. In fact, it’s part of the dehumidifying process that takes place inside your AC unit as the condensation trickles down into the drain pan. However, it isn’t normal for your AC to sound like it’s running water or have large puddles around it. If that happens, you can try the solutions listed above or call an AC repair pro.

It’s not customary to tip HVAC technicians, and most professionals won’t expect it. However, it’s a nice way of showing your appreciation for the work they do, especially if they come out in inclement weather or on a weekend or holiday to fix an emergency issue if your heat or AC goes out in extreme temperatures. A good tip would be between 10% to 20% of the total bill, depending on how above and beyond the tech goes for your repair and on the total cost of your HVAC repair or service. For something like a routine tune-up or scheduled maintenance, tips aren’t expected.

Most HVAC companies recommend against setting your AC below 70 as it could freeze up the system and cause more problems. Regardless of how hot it is outside, there is generally a 20 degree difference between the outside and inside temperatures, so even if it’s 100 degrees outside, your AC will likely not be able to cool your home to 70 degrees.

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.
