We're dedicated to providing our clients with the very best in installation, service, and repair for your heating and cooling needs. Our company is built on honesty and integrity. We specialize in central A/C and cooling systems as well as heating and furnace systems. We take pride in the quality of our work and our commitment to outstanding results. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients, and guarantee your satisfaction.

"I would say this is the BEST SERVICE YOU CAN FIND for HVAC. I had an intermittently functioning heat system where we almost replaced the $300 Next thermostat and ran a 40 foot power wire through the walls, which would have cost quite a bit. Instead, a very capable man did the right testing and found we only needed a capacitor and he had one on his truck. He then spent another hour removing the dirty fan and cleaning the whole system with Shopvac and garden hose. We'd been breathing all this dusty air and did not know it. They came the day we called and everything was handled expertly after two weeks of problems with heat and incorrect solutions suggested. Highly recommended and I will save their number!"

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

An AC capacitor provides the electrical energy needed to start and run your air conditioner's motors. It stores and releases electricity to keep the compressor and fans running smoothly. Without a functioning capacitor, your AC unit may not start or operate efficiently. If you notice problems with your AC unit, contact a professional to diagnose the problem and see if you need to replace your AC capacitor.

AC capacitors last between five and 15 years, with an average lifespan of ten years. Environmental conditions and system usage can affect their lifespan. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your capacitor. When your replacement capacitor is installed, be sure to ask your AC technician about best practices for maintenance and ongoing service to keep your unit in good condition for as long as possible.

While you might save between $60 and $200 by replacing the capacitor yourself, it's not recommended unless you have electrical expertise and proper safety equipment. Replacing a capacitor involves risks like electric shock and potential damage to your AC unit. It's safer to hire a certified HVAC technician who ensures safe and accurate installation.

It's safest to have a qualified technician inspect your AC capacitor. If you decide to look at it yourself after turning off all power, you can carefully remove the front panel and check the capacitor for any visible issues. However, handling electrical components carries risks, so professional inspection is recommended.
