FAQs
What does “factory-trained technician” mean and why is it important for my air conditioner?
A factory-trained technician has completed specialized coursework and hands-on instruction provided by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). This training covers model-specific diagnostics, repair procedures, and the latest software updates. Choosing a factory-trained pro ensures that any maintenance or repair on your AC follows the manufacturer’s exact specifications, protects your warranty, and maximizes the system’s efficiency and lifespan.
How often should I schedule preventive maintenance for my AC unit in Athens’ climate?
Because Athens experiences hot, humid summers and a significant pollen season, we recommend a professional tune-up once in the spring and again in the fall. Spring service prepares your system for peak cooling demand, while a fall check keeps components clean after a long season of heavy use, helps prevent off-season corrosion, and ensures the heat mode is ready if you own a heat pump.
Do you service all brands and models of air conditioners?
Yes. Our factory-trained team is certified to work on virtually every major brand, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, and Mitsubishi. We keep a broad inventory of OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts, enabling us to perform most repairs in a single visit, whether you own a central AC, ductless mini-split, or packaged rooftop unit.
What are the signs my air conditioning system needs professional repair?
Common red flags include weak airflow, warm spots in the home, unusual noises (grinding, squealing, or rattling), foul or musty odors, frequent on/off cycling, frozen evaporator coils, or an unexpected rise in your electric bill. If you notice any of these issues, shut the system off and call us. Early intervention can prevent minor faults from turning into compressor failure or refrigerant leaks.
How quickly can your technicians respond to an emergency AC breakdown in Athens?
We offer 24/7 emergency service. Calls received before 5 p.m. are typically answered within two hours, and after-hours calls are prioritized based on indoor temperature, system age, and the presence of vulnerable occupants (elderly, infants, or pets). Our GPS-equipped fleet and locally stocked service vans let us resolve most emergencies on the first visit.
Are there energy-efficient upgrades you can recommend to lower my cooling costs?
Absolutely. After assessing your home and current system, we might suggest installing a high-SEER variable-speed heat pump, adding smart thermostats with geofencing, sealing or insulating ductwork, incorporating zoning dampers, or converting to a ductless mini-split in areas with persistent hot spots. We’ll also help you calculate potential utility savings, available manufacturer rebates, and Georgia Power incentives to make the upgrade more affordable.
