"I contacted AR out of the blue about 9AM because my AC quit working overnight. My AC is up and running same day just a few hours later! I didnâ t think I would get same day service so I was very happy to be out f the Texas heat! Bruce went above and beyond and even washed the condenser because it was covered in webs. He explained what I should do to as preventative maintenance. Bruce was quick and took the time to explain the problem with the capacitor. Great company. Very reasonably priced. Highly Recommended and I hope I wonâ t need them again, but if I do, I will definitely hire AR again."

"The technician came out when he said he would be there. He was very professional. He identified the problem immediately and was able to fix it using a new part that he had with him. This got me up and running very quickly. He was also able to give me honest information on my air conditioning system. He helped me with a permanent solution and an upgraded system that is working 10 times better than what I had before. Thank you Thank you! Everything was exactly like it was promised. I have confidence in his work and integrity."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.

For the most part, you should leave your AC fan in “auto” mode so that it only runs during a heating or cooling cycle. Keeping it in this position uses less energy, which equals lower utility bills. However, there are some situations where it’s better to leave your AC fan on, including if you have allergies or there are lots of people in your home.

The DOE is phasing out AC units with SEER ratings that fall below 14 or 15. The exact minimum rating depends on your region. In the northern United States, new ACs must have a minimum SEER rating of 14, though you can still buy and install older systems as long as they were compliant when they were manufactured. In the southern and southwestern United States, you cannot buy or install older air conditioners with lower SEER ratings. The minimum rating is between 14.5 and 15, depending on the power of the unit.

The cost of R32 refrigerant is about the same as the cost of R410A refrigerant, the most widely available type of refrigerant today. However, R32 systems use about 20% less refrigerant than R410A systems, making the refrigerant less expensive overall.

During the summer, it’s best to set your AC to 78 degrees when you’re home and awake, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). For better energy efficiency, raise the temperature slightly to 85 degrees while you’re out of the house. The National Sleep Foundation advises lowering your thermostat to between 60 and 67 degrees when you’re asleep.
