SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings are an important measure of energy efficiency for air conditioning systems. Higher SEER ratings may be more beneficial in hotter climates where AC is used frequently and use less electricity to provide the same amount of cooling, resulting in lower energy bills over time.

The best approach is to have our certified HVAC experts inspect the overall condition of your existing ductwork. We will inspect for leaks or damage and determine if it can be reused or needs cleaning or replacement.

That depends on the complexity of the issue. For example, minor issues, like replacing a clogged air filter or fixing a loose connection, can be completed in a matter of minutes. More extensive repairs, like replacing a compressor or fixing a refrigerant leak, may take several hours.

Rest assured, our air conditioning repair service techs will give you an estimated timeline before starting any work so you can plan accordingly.

At Air Control Heating and Air, we understand that when you need HVAC service, you often need it fast.

When you call us during regular business hours, we'll do our best to schedule a technician to visit your home the same day, subject to availability.

We also offer 24/7 emergency service for those urgent situations that simply can't wait. Whether your air conditioner stops working on a hot summer weekend or your furnace fails in the middle of a cold winter night, our team is just a phone call away.

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your AC system running efficiently. Here are some maintenance tips:

• Change or clean the air filters every 1-3 months
• Keep the outdoor unit free from debris, such as leaves and dirt
• Ensure the indoor vents are not blocked by furniture or curtains

We also recommend scheduling regular maintenance checks with us, where we give your system a thorough 18-point inspection from top to bottom. 

This comprehensive checkup allows us to identify and address small issues before they turn into major problems, ultimately extending the life of your HVAC system and preventing costly repairs down the road.

During maintenance visits, our skilled technicians will:

• Replace traditional filters or clean washable ones
• Check the thermostat
• Inspect low- and high-power controls
• Lubricate moving parts
• Check belt tension, if applicable
• Inspect the blower assembly and rotation
• Tighten electrical connections
• Ensure proper fan speed
• Examine the evaporator coil
• Inspect the condenser coil and clean it as needed
• Check operating pressure and superheat
• Measure the temperature drop across the coil
• Inspect the expansion device
• Examine the contactor points
• Test start and run capacitors
• Inspect and flush condensate lines
• Check the compressor crankcase heater
• Measure the compressor amp draw
