FAQs
What does “state-of-the-art diagnostics” mean for my air-conditioning system?
Our technicians use the latest digital gauges, infrared thermography, wireless airflow meters, and manufacturer-specific diagnostic software to read real-time data from every critical component—compressor amps, refrigerant sub-cool/superheat, static pressure, and thermostat signals. This technology pinpoints faults in minutes, minimizes guesswork, and allows us to correct problems before they cause breakdowns or high utility bills.
How often should I schedule a professional AC diagnostic in Mountain City?
Mountain City’s warm, humid summers place heavy demand on cooling equipment. We recommend a comprehensive diagnostic every spring, just before peak season. Homes with older systems (10+ years), pets, or high pollen exposure should consider a second mid-season check to keep components clean and efficient.
What symptoms tell me my air conditioner needs a diagnostic check?
Call us if you notice any of the following: • Warm or weak airflow from vents • Unexplained spikes in your electric bill • Short cycling (unit turns on/off rapidly) • Ice on the outdoor or indoor coil • Musty or burning odors • New rattling, buzzing, or squealing noises Early diagnostics can prevent small issues—like a clogged condensate drain or low refrigerant—from turning into compressor failure.
Can advanced diagnostics really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. Precise testing identifies airflow restrictions, refrigerant charge errors, duct leaks, and thermostat mis-calibrations that often go unnoticed. Correcting these issues typically boosts SEER performance by 10-25%, translating to noticeable monthly savings while reducing carbon footprint.
How long does a diagnostic appointment take, and what should I expect?
Most visits last 60–90 minutes. Your technician will: 1. Record indoor/outdoor temperatures and humidity. 2. Hook up digital gauges to measure pressure and temperature differentials. 3. Inspect electrical connections, capacitors, and contactors with a multimeter. 4. Analyze blower speed and duct static pressure. 5. Review findings with you, present any repair options, and email a detailed report with photos and performance data.
Are diagnostic services covered by warranties or maintenance plans?
Manufacturer part warranties generally do not include labor diagnostics, but our Comfort Shield Maintenance Plan does. Members receive two free diagnostic visits per year, priority scheduling, and a 15% discount on any repairs uncovered. Ask us about bundling diagnostics with an extended labor warranty for complete protection.
