Refrigerant is a chemical compound that cycles through your AC system and makes the heat transfer process possible. It has the unique ability to absorb large amounts of heat when it evaporates and release that heat when it condenses (turns back to liquid). Without refrigerant, or with too little of it, your AC cannot transfer heat effectively and will struggle to cool your home.

The most impactful things you can do as a homeowner are replacing your air filter regularly, keeping the area around your outdoor condenser unit clear of debris, leaves, and overgrown vegetation, make sure your indoor vents aren’t blocked by furniture, and keeping up with annual maintenance.

The process typically starts with an evaluation of your current system, your home’s size and layout, and your comfort goals to recommend the right replacement unit. Once you select a system, the installation team removes the old equipment, makes any necessary modifications to your ductwork or electrical connections, installs the new unit, and tests it thoroughly to confirm it’s running correctly.

Absolutely. Inaccurate temperature readings, an unresponsive thermostat, or incorrect settings can all lead to comfort issues and cause your system to behave erratically.

Yes. In most homes, the furnace and AC share the same air handler and ductwork, and the furnace filter is the primary filter for the entire system. When that filter is dirty and clogged, airflow to the AC’s evaporator coil is restricted, which reduces cooling efficiency, causes the system to work harder, and can lead to the coil freezing over.

Clogged filters, dirty coils, or refrigerant problems can reduce your system’s efficiency, causing it to work harder and use more energy than it should. Regular maintenance helps keep these issues in check.

As AC units get older, they become more prone to breakdowns and lose efficiency over time. If your system is aging and requiring more frequent repairs, it may be approaching the point where replacement is the more cost-effective choice.

A central AC system distributes cool air throughout your home via ductwork, while a ductless mini-split delivers cooling directly to individual rooms without ducts. Ductless systems are a great option for homes without existing ductwork or for areas that need supplemental cooling.

A forced air system pulls warm air from your home through a return vent, passes it over an evaporator coil to cool it, and then pushes the cooled air back through your vents via a blower motor. Key components include the compressor, condensing coil, evaporator coil, air filter, and thermostat.
