"I had been unhappy with another firm in Madison that has worked on both our furnace and central air conditioner, so I contacted Clark, based on a recommendation from Dan of Jenko's garage doors, and checking on Angie's list, where Clark was highly rated. They sent a serviceman (I think it was Kevin) last Tuesday, who inspected our system, which had been installed in 1992, and determined it was leaking Freon. He indicated that repair was not a smart option on an old system and recommended a new air conditioner. Andy came came out on Thursday to give us an estimate. I asked if he could have it installed on Friday, as it was very hot and humid and we were having guests over for dinner. He said he could make it work. On Friday his crew (Jeff and his partner) spent about 5 hours removing the old unit and installing the new one. They were completely professional and thorough. By 5:00 the house was cooling down. I highly recommend Clark Heating and Cooling."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
You should know the main components of an air conditioner: the condenser coils, evaporator coils, drip pan, AC filter, ducts, and refrigerant. Each part plays a key role in the performance and safety of your AC system. When tracking the source of AC issues or odors, it helps to know where to look. Your outdoor unit houses your condenser coils, fan, and compressor. Your indoor unit houses your evaporator coils, drain lines, and filter, and it connects to your ductwork.
Yes, government incentives and programs are available to encourage energy-efficient upgrades in many regions. These incentives may include tax credits, rebates, grants, and low-interest loans for homeowners who invest in energy-efficient improvements such as HVAC system upgrades, insulation, and efficient windows. The availability and specific details of these incentives can vary by location, so check with your local government or utility company to explore your options.
AC drip pans last five to 20 years, depending on the material. Plastic AC drip pans last five to 10 years, while metal pans can last over 10 years. Plastic AC drip pans are vulnerable to cracking in response to temperature changes. Metal drip pans are prone to rusting over time, which can also lead to leaks.
Yes, a mini split AC system can replace central air—and quite easily, too. Since mini splits don’t require ductwork, homeowners can convert their central air system to a mini split to save money and energy. Consult with an HVAC professional to learn more about the process of replacing your central air with a mini split.
If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances.
Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.
