"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"

Clean install, he picked up after himself when finished and he even explained the functions of my new unit before leaving. I couldnâ t be happier! I would recommend him to anyone."

"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

If your whole house is cold that’s one thing, but what if you only have a few rooms that are cold? First, you need to determine why this may be happening. A good place to start is to investigate the potential causes listed in this article—heat transfer, airflow, thermostat problems, humidity, and insulation. Once you’ve narrowed down the issue, you’d apply the same principles to the cold rooms as you would to the entire home.

While most air conditioners can last between 10 and 20 years, they will only last this long (or longer) if properly taken care of. Routine maintenance and inspections help keep your AC unit running in tip-top shape but understanding what factors will decrease its lifespan will also help keep your unit running cool.

Some things that shorten your AC’s lifespan include:

  • Extreme outdoor conditions, like high humidity or extensive salt spray 

  • Improper installation

  • Extended run times, either by the unit being too small or the thermostat setting too low

  • Not performing required maintenance

Freon will go in the refrigerant lines near the back of your AC unit. Look for small ports with caps on a thin copper line—the Freon goes into those ports. You are best off hiring a licensed HVAC professional who can complete the job safely and correctly.

Not if you have a standard unit. Because portable AC units actually work to dehumidify the room, you’ll likely need to drain the unit from time to time—but you won’t have to put water into it. There is, however, another type of air conditioner called a swamp cooler that requires water to operate. If you have a swamp cooler, you may need to fill a reservoir with water and potentially ice. But a swamp cooler is different from a standard portable AC unit.

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.
