"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
Unfortunately, a freon leak will persist even when your AC unit is off. The freon in the AC unit is under pressure no matter the status of the system, so it will continue to drip through the leak even when you shut off the entire unit. It will continue to leak freon until it’s completely empty.
Yes, it’s normal for an AC to drip water. In fact, it’s part of the dehumidifying process that takes place inside your AC unit as the condensation trickles down into the drain pan. However, it isn’t normal for your AC to sound like it’s running water or have large puddles around it. If that happens, you can try the solutions listed above or call an AC repair pro.
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 best way to compare HVAC quotes is getting a few detailed quotes from local companies with good reputations. Then, go over the quotes line by line. Protect yourself by insisting on in-person estimates that include equipment manufacturer names, model numbers, SEER ratings, amounts and numbers of materials, details of warranties on equipment and labor, and other specifics.
Knowing the exact equipment and materials is the only way that you can fairly compare quotes. Quotes that are much lower than others can be a sign that the company isn’t providing the best quality service or materials.
An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.
