"This company was just wonderful. Our new home had a huge job and they got it all completed in one day. They worked a 12 hour day just to insure we had air conditioning when we went to bed. Heath was amazing and very knowledgeable."

"They are excellent across the board. We came home from vacation to find we had no AC in our upstairs. Mike got here the next day and got it fixed. Anybody he has ever sent to our home, has been just as professional and reliable as Mike himself. I can't say enough good things about Cool Comfort."

"Coty ALWAYS does the best work in the Midlands at very fair prices! He recently installed my garage Ductless Mini Split and it runs like a dream! 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."

"Floyd with Ducts Columbia is now the only company I will use for duct cleaning, sealing vents, & dryer vent cleaning. His level of care and detail completing my project left us feeling like we were taken care of by family. He asked my questions, addressed concerns, and educated me in areas where it was important for ongoing safety and health. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I absolutely would."

"We contacted them to have our air ducts cleaned. They stated they charge $299 for any/all vents. They stated we would have a camera scope all of our vents before and after to ensure everything is cleaned properly. They stated it would be the truck that connects to the vents and would clean everything. Also we would have the chemicals put in our vents if growth was detected and that would be an additional $150 charge. A paint contractor with an unmarked van and unmarked company shirt (a sherwin Williams shirt) arrived without calling with his personal shop vac and started vacuuming our vents. He stated upon arrival he would have to come back with chemicals because they did not provide him any. Mind you, he was only supposed to even do chemicals if growth was detected. My husband stopped and asked where the photos were he said he did not know that needed to be done. The man who arrived was very nice and even gave us his personal business card but we asked him to leave."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

After a while, dust, dirt, and other debris accumulates on an AC unit's coils and filters, making it less efficient and spreading allergens and other air pollutants throughout your home. Cleaning your AC unit will keep it running efficiently, minimizing future breakdowns and improving your indoor air quality.

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.

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.

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.

No, it's not advisable to only replace the outside AC unit connected to your system. AC units are designed to work as a cohesive system, and older units work differently than newer units. Therefore, replacing only one component can lead to incompatibilities that affect the system’s performance. Replacing one component can void your warranty, costing you money for repairs.
