How often should I have my air conditioner serviced?
We recommend annual air conditioner maintenance before the cooling season begins. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly air conditioner repair, improves energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your cooling system.
When should I consider air conditioner replacement instead of repair?
Air conditioner replacement may be more cost-effective if your system is over 10 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has significantly reduced efficiency.
What are signs that I need air conditioner repair?
Common indicators include insufficient cooling, unusual noises, frequent cycling, high energy bills, poor airflow, or warm air coming from vents.
How can I tell if I need heating repair?
Signs that require heating repair include uneven heating, strange odors, unusual noises, frequent cycling, increased energy costs, or the system not turning on.
How often should I replace my furnace filter?
Standard filters should be replaced every 1-3 months, depending on usage and household conditions. High-efficiency air filtration products may last longer but should be checked regularly to maintain optimal system performance.
What plumbing services do you provide?
Our comprehensive plumbing services include drain cleaning, pipe repair and replacement, fixture installation, leak detection and repair, sump pump services, and bathroom remodeling.
How do I know if I have a plumbing leak?
Signs of plumbing leaks include unexplained increases in water bills, water stains on walls or ceilings, musty odors, reduced water pressure, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off.
When is water heater replacement necessary?
Water heater replacement is typically needed when your unit is over 8-12 years old, produces rusty water, makes unusual noises, leaks, or fails to provide adequate hot water.
