"I called at noon, needing someone to come out that day because we were leaving the next day and would be away for some time, but all the technician were tied up. Made the appointment for the next day, we would leave late to get going. At 4:30 pm the day I called they were able to free up a technician and by 6:30 pm the AC was up and running again... very much appreciated the office working to get someone to us quickly, and our technician Robbie was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and efficient."

"When we finished building our home and hired The Clean Standard for the post construction cleaning before moving in. Megan did an amazing job. There was construction dust everywhere, along with residue on the floors, cabinets, windows, trim, and fixtures, and she was incredibly thorough. By the time she finished, the house finally felt like a home instead of a construction site. Everything looked fresh, polished, and move-in ready. She paid attention to details we honestly would have missed ourselves. If you?ve just built or remodeled a home and need someone who knows how to handle a true post construction clean, I highly recommend The Clean Standard."

Hello my name's Lewis haddox and I am a Handy man servicing the roanoke , salem va and surrounding areas.If you’re looking for someone who actually enjoys fixing the leaky faucet, diagnosing the weird noise from the furnace, and leaving a workspace cleaner than they found it—let’s talk.With over 10 years of hands-on handyman experience, I’ve seen it all. From sagging drywall and broken drawer slides to full property turnovers, I bring a can-do attitude and a toolbag full of solutions. But what really sets me apart is my HVAC certification. While most handymen have to call in a specialist, I’m the one who stays to fix the AC or troubleshoot the furnace. That saves you time, money.I take real pride in every job big or small and working for myself allows me to do even the smallest jobs most larger services wont.So next time you need help and want someone respectful, knowledgeable and will be there when scheduled till jobs completed give me a call.Always free estimates hope I can help.

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

No, it isn’t necessarily bad to turn your AC on and off frequently—contrary to popular belief. Even if you stop and start your AC throughout the day, it won’t use as much energy as it would if you ran it nonstop. 

If you’re concerned about your power consumption and energy costs, there are a few simple ways to use your AC more efficiently. Regularly cleaning the filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using a programmable thermostat are all great choices.

Turn your system off when you're toasty or when you're out to prevent unnecessary wear. Using the timer on your thermostat so that it switches off when it reaches a certain temperature or turns on just before you get back from work is best. An annual maintenance contract can be helpful to ensure your system receives these important services at regular intervals.

The size window AC you need depends on the BTU and the size of the room you’re cooling. For a room with 8-foot ceilings, look for about 20 BTU per square foot of the room. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room should have an air conditioner with 2,880 BTU. You can buy something slightly more powerful, but don’t overshoot the BTU for a small room, or you’ll waste energy and have higher bills.

Yes, you can run an attic fan with the AC on. In fact, you don’t have a choice with a passive attic fan. Plus, when an attic fan draws out hot air from the attic, it helps regulate the temperature of your whole home, so your AC doesn't have to work as hard.

The general rule of thumb for figuring out how much AC tonnage you need in your home is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of space you need to cool, you’ll need one ton of AC cooling power. So, a 1,000-square-foot home will need 2 tons of AC power.
