FAQs

What types of air-conditioning systems do you install in Altamont?

We install the full spectrum of cooling solutions, including high-efficiency central split systems, variable-speed heat pumps, inverter mini-splits for zoned comfort, rooftop package units for light commercial properties, and ductless systems for additions or older homes without existing ductwork. Our technicians survey your space, perform a Manual-J load calculation, and recommend the system that best balances comfort, efficiency, and budget.

How do your cutting-edge diagnostic tools improve the efficiency and lifespan of my AC unit?

Our service vans carry Bluetooth-enabled gauges, thermal imaging cameras, and cloud-based refrigerant analyzers. These tools let us read sub-cooling, superheat, static pressure, and motor currents in real time, pinpointing inefficiencies that traditional gauges miss. By correcting charge levels, airflow restrictions, and electrical imbalances early, we prevent premature compressor wear, lower energy consumption by up to 20 %, and extend average equipment life 3–5 years.

What size air conditioner do I need for my Altamont home?

Sizing depends on square footage, insulation value, window orientation, local climate data, and internal heat gains. An undersized unit runs continuously and never reaches the setpoint; an oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy. We complete a detailed Manual-J calculation—including Altamont’s 1 % design temperature of 94 °F—to determine the exact BTU requirement, then select the closest available capacity, normally within ±5 % of the load.

How often should my air conditioner be serviced, and what does your maintenance include?

For Altamont’s climate, we recommend a professional tune-up every spring. Our 24-point maintenance checklist covers coil cleaning, refrigerant charge verification, condensate line flush, electrical tightening, blower wheel balancing, thermostat calibration, and static pressure testing. Members of our Comfort Club also receive a mid-season inspection, priority scheduling, and 15 % off any repair parts if an issue arises.

Do you offer smart thermostat integration and remote performance monitoring?

Yes. We install Wi-Fi enabled thermostats from Ecobee, Nest, and Honeywell that learn your schedule, provide geofencing, and automatically switch between cooling and heating. For commercial and tech-savvy homeowners, we add IoT sensors that stream temperature, humidity, and energy data to a secure portal. Our team can even receive alerts when filters clog or refrigerant levels drift, allowing proactive service before comfort is affected.

What rebates or incentives are available for high-efficiency AC upgrades in Altamont?

Customers may qualify for NYSERDA Smart Energy rebates of $200–$600 for ENERGY STAR® central AC systems rated 16 SEER2 or higher. Heat pump installations can earn up to $1,000 per ton through the Clean Heat Program. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act offer up to 30 % of project cost (maximum $2,000) for qualifying equipment. We handle all paperwork, submit rebate applications, and deduct approved incentives directly from your invoice.
