FAQs
What types of air conditioning systems do you service and install in Altamont?
Peak Performance Heating and Air Conditioning works on all major residential and light-commercial cooling systems found in Altamont, including central split systems, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and packaged rooftop units. We service and install equipment from leading brands such as Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, and more, so whether you need a repair on an older unit or a completely new high-efficiency installation, we have you covered.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my AC unit?
For the Altamont climate, we recommend professional maintenance once a yearâideally in early spring, before the cooling season begins. Annual tune-ups keep the system clean, maintain peak efficiency, reduce the likelihood of breakdowns during summer heat waves, and help preserve the manufacturerâs warranty. Joining our Peak Performance Maintenance Plan makes scheduling easy and includes priority service, discounts on repairs, and documented service records.
What can I expect during a professional AC tune-up?
A typical Peak Performance tune-up lasts about 60â90 minutes. Our certified technician will: 1) Inspect and tighten all electrical connections, 2) Check refrigerant charge and look for leaks, 3) Clean the condenser coil and remove debris, 4) Replace or clean the air filter, 5) Lubricate moving parts, 6) Test thermostat calibration and system controls, 7) Measure airflow and temperature differential, and 8) Provide a written report with any recommendations. This comprehensive service ensures your AC runs safely, efficiently, and reliably all summer long.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my aging air conditioner?
Consider replacement if your system is over 12â15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs (exceeding 30â40% of the price of a new unit), uses the discontinued R-22 refrigerant, or struggles to keep your home comfortable. Our technicians will perform a cost-benefit analysis that factors in current repair costs, energy savings from a new high-SEER unit, available rebates, and your long-term comfort goals to help you make an informed decision.
Do you offer emergency AC repair services in Altamont, and how quickly can you respond?
Yes. Peak Performance provides 24/7 emergency AC repair throughout Altamont and surrounding areas. Calls received after hours are routed to our on-call technician, who can typically be at your door in two hours or less, depending on weather and demand. Our service vehicles are fully stocked with common parts so most repairs are completed during the first visit.
Are there energy-efficient options or rebates available for new AC installations?
Absolutely. We install ENERGY STARÂŽ-rated air conditioners with SEER2 ratings up to 20+, variable-speed compressors, and smart thermostat compatibility. Altamont residents may qualify for New York State clean-energy incentives, manufacturer rebates, and potential federal tax credits of up to 30% of the project cost (subject to yearly caps). Our comfort consultants will outline all qualifying programs, handle the paperwork, and help you maximize savings while lowering your monthly energy bills.
