What's going on with your system?

Start with the problem you're dealing with. Each service below has its own page with more detail.

Your air conditioner isn't cooling properly

Warm air from the vents, an AC that won't turn on, ice on the lines, water where it shouldn't be, or a system that keeps switching on and off. These usually point to a repair question first.

When a problem needs an HVAC professional

Some heating and cooling issues are simple: a thermostat set to the wrong mode, dead thermostat batteries, or a clogged air filter. Others need someone trained to work safely with electrical parts, refrigerant and gas. It's usually time to call when:

  • the system won't start, or shuts off soon after starting;
  • airflow is weak or the air coming out is the wrong temperature;
  • you hear grinding, banging or squealing, or notice a burning smell;
  • the breaker for the system keeps tripping;
  • your energy bill jumps without an obvious reason;
  • your heating or cooling can't keep up with the weather.

Refrigerant, wiring inside the equipment, and gas burners, valves and pilot assemblies are not do-it-yourself work.

The service, step by step

What to expect from HVAC service

  1. Describe the problem

    What you're noticing, when it started, and what type of system you have.

  2. On-site diagnosis

    The equipment is inspected and tested to find the cause, not just the symptom.

  3. Options explained first

    You should know what's wrong and what it will cost before approving any work.

  4. Repair or installation, then testing

    To confirm the system works as it should.

Before the visit

Help your HVAC visit start with the right information

A few details about what your system is doing help the technician start in the right place.

What is the system doing?
Blowing warm or cold air, not turning on at all, running without stopping, or switching on and off.
When did it start?
Suddenly, or getting worse over days or weeks?
Constant or on and off?
A problem that comes and goes is easier to track down when you can say when it happens.
Any sounds or smells?
Grinding, banging, squealing or a burning smell.
Has heating or cooling stopped completely?
Or is the system still running, just not keeping up?
How old is it, and where is it?
A rough age if you know it, and whether the equipment is in the attic, a closet, the garage or outside.
