Get matched with top air conditioning pros in Bow, WA

Q: Is it better to oversize or undersize AC?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s critical to use the right size AC for your space and not go too small or too big. If you purchase an undersized unit, it won&rsquo;t properly cool your house, and it has to work harder to reach the optimal temperature. This will eventually wear your unit out. An oversized unit can spell trouble because it will turn off and on more frequently, which also wears out your AC unit. An oversized unit also causes humidity in the home.</p></div>

Q: Should I worry about my AC unit getting rained on?

• <div><p>The outdoor portions of air conditioners are designed to weather the rain, so you don&rsquo;t need to worry about it. An awning or roof will help protect them from snow or falling debris, which can do more damage. This is true of both window AC and outdoor units for larger systems.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my AC contactor is bad?

• <div><p>When your AC contactor goes bad, you might hear chattering or buzzing noises coming from your air conditioner. You may also notice that your AC is running but isn&rsquo;t cooling your home. In some cases, your air conditioner might not even turn on at all. There could also be physical damage, discoloration, or corrosion around the contactor.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix a weak AC airflow?

• <div><p>Dirty filters are almost always the cause of poor airflow, so they should be regularly cleaned and then replaced as needed. The fan blades can also get dirty, so they should be cleaned when the unit is turned off. Make sure that the outdoor area around the back of the unit is unobstructed. Trees, shrubs, trash, and other objects could be too close to your unit.</p></div>

Q: Can I still use my AC if it’s leaking water?

• <div><p>A few drips here and there should not be cause for concern, but if your unit is leaking a large amount of water, then it&rsquo;s advised that you stop using it until the problem is identified and a solution is determined. The more you use it during a leak, the more issues it will cause. </p></div>

I had an AC unit and a Generator installed together by them. Overall, I am happy with what I received; however, I was not too happy about the install/piping layout that they did - especially without consulting me first about if it was okay to run the pipe up my siding, screw it in my siding...

"In the beginning the 4 nations of Electric, Plumbing, Heating, and Air lived in harmony. Because Seatown maintained the balance. We have used Seatown for 15 projects now for spanning all their services. When we bought our old home, we had Seatown and other competitors provide quotes on installing HVAC. Their planning, thoughtfulness to our needs, price is why we chose them. As the summer heat spikes, we don’t regret our choice and are glad that our home is an oasis. Every time they come out, we ask for more things to be done than what was agreed to and every time they work to extra hard to get it all done. They go the extra mile in doing some simple projects for free and giving advice on how to lower our costs as new homeowners. I have been able to call or text them about issues or ideas and get advice with out the pressure to buy services. That’s not something you find in just any company. Their staff has always been polite, clean, and diligent about getting the job right the first time. As we continue to fix up our old house, we will be using Seatown for projects large and small and we hope you will as well."

"I'd give Milo ten stars if I could! Another company quoted me an outrageous price for a major air conditioning repair that I did not need; Milo was completely honest and professional with me -- and fixed my air conditioning unit for one-tenth the price I would have paid the other company (whose estimator was "out on the golf course" when I called for help). So happy I found Maintenance Plus! Most definitely a company I would use again."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

It’s critical to use the right size AC for your space and not go too small or too big. If you purchase an undersized unit, it won’t properly cool your house, and it has to work harder to reach the optimal temperature. This will eventually wear your unit out. An oversized unit can spell trouble because it will turn off and on more frequently, which also wears out your AC unit. An oversized unit also causes humidity in the home.

The outdoor portions of air conditioners are designed to weather the rain, so you don’t need to worry about it. An awning or roof will help protect them from snow or falling debris, which can do more damage. This is true of both window AC and outdoor units for larger systems.

When your AC contactor goes bad, you might hear chattering or buzzing noises coming from your air conditioner. You may also notice that your AC is running but isn’t cooling your home. In some cases, your air conditioner might not even turn on at all. There could also be physical damage, discoloration, or corrosion around the contactor.

Dirty filters are almost always the cause of poor airflow, so they should be regularly cleaned and then replaced as needed. The fan blades can also get dirty, so they should be cleaned when the unit is turned off. Make sure that the outdoor area around the back of the unit is unobstructed. Trees, shrubs, trash, and other objects could be too close to your unit.

A few drips here and there should not be cause for concern, but if your unit is leaking a large amount of water, then it’s advised that you stop using it until the problem is identified and a solution is determined. The more you use it during a leak, the more issues it will cause.
