Whether you need a quick fix or a custom-designed comfort solution, we have the tools, parts, and expertise to get the job done right the first time.
How fast can you respond if my AC breaks down unexpectedly?
Because summers in Thorn Hill can be brutally hot, we offer true 24-hour emergency service. Calls received before 4 p.m. are usually handled the same day, and after-hours requests are dispatched to an on-call technician within 60–90 minutes. Our service trucks are stocked with common replacement parts so most breakdowns are resolved on the first visit, minimizing discomfort and system damage.
Do you work on all air-conditioner brands and models?
Yes. Our NATE-certified technicians receive ongoing factory training that covers central split systems, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, rooftop units, and packaged systems from every major manufacturer—including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Daikin, and more. We also have direct access to OEM and quality aftermarket parts, allowing us to restore performance and honor most manufacturer warranties.
How often should I schedule preventative maintenance for my AC unit?
We recommend a comprehensive tune-up once a year—ideally in early spring before heavy cooling demand begins. Annual maintenance cleans coils, tightens electrical connections, checks refrigerant pressure, and verifies airflow. This improves energy efficiency by up to 15 %, extends equipment life by several years, keeps your warranty valid, and helps spot minor issues before they turn into expensive repairs.
What warning signs indicate my AC needs professional repair rather than a simple filter change?
Common red flags include weak airflow from vents, warm air blowing despite a low thermostat setting, short-cycling (frequent on/off), unusual noises or odors, frozen evaporator coils, water leaks around the air handler, and unexplained spikes in your electricity bill. If you notice any of these, turn the system off and call us for a diagnostic visit to prevent further damage and restore safe operation.
Are there energy-efficient upgrade options or local rebates for Thorn Hill residents?
Absolutely. We carry Energy Star-rated systems with SEER2 ratings up to 20 +, variable-speed compressors, and smart thermostat compatibility that can cut cooling costs by 30 % or more. In Thorn Hill, customers may qualify for provincial/state efficiency rebates, utility company incentives, and federal tax credits on qualifying heat pumps and high-efficiency air conditioners. Our comfort consultants will guide you through available programs, handle the paperwork, and maximize your savings.
