FAQs
What qualifications do your HVAC technicians hold in Louisville?
Every technician on our team is licensed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and carries EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant handling. In addition, our techs complete factory-authorized training on major brands such as Trane, Carrier, and Lennox, and participate in annual continuing-education courses on the latest ACCA and International Mechanical Code requirements. This ensures your air-conditioning system is serviced or installed according to current safety, efficiency, and warranty standards.
How often should I schedule air-conditioning maintenance in Louisville’s climate?
Because Louisville experiences hot, humid summers and significant pollen in the spring, we recommend professional maintenance at least once a year—preferably in early spring before peak cooling season. An annual tune-up includes cleaning indoor and outdoor coils, checking refrigerant charge, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and verifying thermostat calibration. Regular maintenance helps maintain efficiency, preserves your manufacturer warranty, and can extend equipment life by 3–5 years.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency AC repair services in Louisville?
Yes. Our licensed technicians are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whether your compressor fails at midnight or your condensate line backs up on a holiday weekend, we dispatch a fully stocked service vehicle within two hours anywhere in Jefferson, Oldham, or Bullitt counties. There is no after-hours surcharge for maintenance plan members, and all emergency repairs are backed by our 1-year parts and labor warranty.
What signs indicate I need professional air-conditioning repair rather than a DIY fix?
Some basic upkeep—like replacing return-air filters—is homeowner-friendly, but call a licensed technician if you notice: (1) warm air blowing despite a correct thermostat setting, (2) ice on the evaporator coil or outdoor refrigerant lines, (3) short cycling or breaker trips, (4) water leaks around the air handler, (5) unusual noises or burning smells, or (6) indoor humidity above 60 percent. These symptoms often point to refrigerant, electrical, or airflow issues that require specialized gauges, tools, and certifications to correct safely.
Can upgrading to a high-efficiency AC system lower my energy bills in Louisville?
Absolutely. Replacing a 10–15-year-old 10 SEER unit with a new 16–20 SEER2 heat-pump or central AC can cut summer cooling costs by 30–50 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. High-efficiency systems use variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors that adapt to Louisville’s fluctuating humidity, improving comfort while using less electricity. We provide free load calculations to ensure the new system is properly sized and offer smart thermostat pairing for additional savings.
Are there rebates or financing options for new AC installations in Louisville?
Yes. LG&E and KU customers may qualify for rebates up to $750 on ENERGY STAR certified central air conditioners and heat pumps. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can add up to 30 percent of project cost (maximum $2,000) for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps. We also partner with local credit unions to offer 0 percent interest financing for 12 months or low-APR plans up to 60 months, subject to credit approval. Our comfort consultants handle all paperwork so you receive every incentive available.
