"I have used this company for over ten years. I have never been disappointed in the work they have performed, whether it was yearly service or the installation of a new air conditioner they have always been professional, caring of the customer. Just as for today i had a yearly service done, while inspecting the heater Justin found a capacitor that was a just barley under the specs nothing to hurt the system instead of blowing it off he came to me and told me about it and changed the part so the fan motor would run at its peak efficiently."
"Abilene Air Service is quick and reliable. First day in Abilene and my A/C went out. Daniel showed up the next day, and gave me a fair quote. House has been cold since. I highly recommend them to anyone thatâ s having HVAC issues."
"Max was awesome. Very professional. He was on time, fast, got everything done in a timely fashion and has a wide variety of skills. He's now our permanent facility maintenance manager."
I am a Medical Assistant/Xray tech. I have been houses for the last 4 years, part time as my schedule becomes less hectic. My schedule varies with working at an urgent care but hopefully we can work around that to get some cleaning done. I enjoy it. It help relieve stress in a relaxing way. For me anyway. I have most of my experience cleaning Air BnB’s. A couple of residential properties. Anything extra your needing can be discussed before hand. I do a majority of basic cleaning. Making beds, dusting, sweeping and moping. Only laundry I have done is just for the bed linens. But if you’re needing help with laundry we can discuss that before hand. Any questions please ask. Thank you for time.
"Aaron came out the same day the service call was placed. Aaron was very knowledgeable and professional and troubleshooted my furnace quickly and efficiently. He found the issue he thought it might be and made the repair. The quality and affordability of Cygnature Heating do come together, just as their tag line states. I highly recommend this company."
"Daryl is THE MAN! He was right on the job, fixed it with super professionalism and great personableness. All at a great price too. Daryl is now my GO-TO GUY for all my HVAC needs."
"What a great company. They showed up promptly, were professional and went above and beyond to get our A/C running. Their services are very reasonable priced. We can’t thank them enough for the wonderful job."
"Rick went above and beyond installing 3 units at our church. He was very knowledgeable and is always just a call away. We would definitely recommend him and continue to use him in the future."
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
No, you should not attempt to replace an AC evaporator coil yourself. This is a complex task that must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. The process involves handling hazardous and flammable refrigerants, which poses significant safety risks. Attempting a DIY replacement can also cause further damage to your HVAC system and will likely void its warranty. It is necessary to hire a local AC repair professional for this job.
Yes, ventless portable air conditioners exist, and not all standard portable air conditioners must be vented through a window.
Ventless portable units, often called evaporative coolers, do not have exhaust hoses. They use a water reservoir and a cooling pad to add moisture to the air, making it feel cooler. These units work best in dry climates because humid areas cannot absorb much additional moisture.
For standard portable air conditioners that do require venting, a window is not the only option; they can also be vented through a door, wall, or ceiling. However, it is essential to vent these units properly. Running a standard portable AC without venting it is counterproductive because it needs to expel heat to cool the room. Failing to do so will only increase the room's temperature.
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.
While an air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, it is not recommended as it will not work efficiently. A dirty filter forces the system to work harder to circulate cool air, leading to reduced airflow, increased wear and tear, and higher energy bills. This added strain can cause the air conditioner to overheat or fail prematurely. Furthermore, a clogged filter may allow dust and dirt to accumulate in your ductwork, negatively impacting air quality. It is more cost-effective to clean or replace filters regularly than to pay higher utility bills and risk needing to replace the entire AC unit.
Replacing an HVAC system does not always include new ductwork. The decision depends on the condition of your existing ducts. If they are in good shape, correctly sized for the new unit, and meet current standards, they can often be reused. However, if the ducts are damaged, poorly designed, or improperly sized, they will likely need to be replaced or upgraded to ensure the new system operates efficiently. An HVAC contractor will assess your ductwork and recommend the best course of action. Typically, ductwork is purchased separately, and a full replacement will add to the overall project cost.
