Pro Sky Services, Inc. is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"2/3/2021 - Glad to have found Pro Sky Wow, what a great experience I just had with Pro Sky! Our heat pump went out during an impending snowstorm. Two companies on Thumbtack were quick to respond. Pro Sky got the nod because they could dispatch a technician immediately. It mattered when our house was getting so cold so fast. It also helped that Frank explained clearly his companyâ s approach in his initial response. As soon as I confirmed the appointment with Frank, I received a text giving an ETA for technician William to come by. Oh, another thing I like about Pro Sky is they use the Housecall Pro platform to send me appointment info, estimates, and receipts. All were super clear, and the platform was so convenient. Back to William, he arrived promptly wearing a mask and minding his distance. He listened patiently to the long history of issues weâ ve had with our Carrier Infinity thermostat before setting out to run the diagnostic tests on our heat pump. The tests confirmed the system was in good shape, the problem was with the thermostat. William took the time to explain our options for a thermostat replacement and addressed all of our questions and concerns without trying to sell us any particular product (or service for that matter). That is how you earn trust and respect from your potential (and repeated) customers. We would like to rewire our full system to use a third-party thermostat, and we will request William for the job. Thanks Pro Sky! 8/18/2021 - A happy customer is a repeat customer Last week was my fourth service call to Pro Sky: (1) system rewired & thermostat replacement, (2) water heater replacement, (3) HVAC Spring services, and (4) A/C start capacitor replacement. Our A/C stopped blowing cold air on a near-100-degree day last week. Who you gonna call? Of course, I called Pro Sky. Frank reassured me he would always have availability for a loyal customer. A different technician this time, the process was the same. I received a text with a link to Housecallproâ s job description, arrival window, and estimate ($45 for a diagnosis visit). Santo arrived on time, made a quick diagnose (bad capacitor), provided a reasonable price quote for a replacement which we agreed to. He replaced the dual capacitor, did a health check of our A/C system and was done in about 30 minutes. Super efficient! The service fee was waived in our final bill. Our A/C has been running fine ever since. Thanks again, Pro Sky!"

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring The Irrigation Professionals to install a sprinkler system at my Townhome, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the Irrigation Professionals provided top-notch service and exceeded my expectations in every way.

They took the time to thoroughly assess my yard and design a customized system that would meet my specific needs. Their attention to detail was impressive, and they even considered factors such as different soil types and plant water requirements. The installation process was seamless, and the crew from the Irrigation Professionals worked diligently to ensure that every sprinkler head was perfectly positioned and calibrated. They were professional, courteous, and respectful of my property throughout the entire project. I was particularly impressed with their efficiency, as they completed the installation on time without sacrificing quality. Since the installation, I have witnessed a profound improvement in the health and appearance of my lawn and garden. The sprinkler system installed by the Irrigation Professionals operates flawlessly, delivering the perfect amount of water to each area while conserving resources. The system's programmable features have made my life so much easier, allowing me to create a convenient watering schedule that fits my schedule.

They were readily available to address my questions and concerns promptly, and their follow-up has been commendable.

BlueStar Air Mechanical is a call away for your repair, maintenance and installation needs. We specialize in fixing and tuning up cooling, heating and plumbing systems for both residential homes and commercial establishments.

"I contacted Bluestar Air Mechanical for a second opinion after an appointment with Air One. I have a Carrier HVAC system, and the Air One technician recommended a complete system replacement, claiming the blower was bad, the furnace control board needed replacing, and that there were other issues. Since replacing the HVAC is a big investment, I wanted to get a second opinion. It was only after comparing the service from Bluestar that I realized Air One may have been pushing for a new system sale or lacked the expertise to properly diagnose and repair the actual problems. Isaac, the technician from Bluestar, spent about an hour thoroughly diagnosing and fixing the issues. He found burnt wiring in the furnace and discovered that the wrong capacitor had been incorrectly installed in the AC. Isaac replaced the burnt wiring in the furnace and the capacitor in the AC. After these repairs, my Carrier system was back up and running—without the need for a costly replacement. Bluestar, and Isaac in particular, demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and honesty. They focused on resolving the actual issues instead of pushing for an unnecessary system replacement. I highly recommend Bluestar for their reliable service and Isaac’s thorough and knowledgeable work."

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.
