Why Your AC Needs Regular Attention

Think of your air conditioner like your car. You wouldn't drive 50,000 miles without an oil change, but many homeowners run their AC systems for years without professional maintenance.

Here's what happens when you stay proactive:

Better Efficiency: Clean coils, proper refrigerant levels, and calibrated controls can reduce your energy bills by 15-20%. That's real money back in your pocket.

Fewer Breakdowns: Regular maintenance catches worn components before they fail. No more sweltering through weekend breakdowns waiting for emergency service.

Longer System Life: A well-maintained air conditioner can last 15-20 years. One that's neglected typically fails after 8-12 years.

Consistent Comfort: Proper airflow, balanced refrigerant, and clean filters mean every room stays comfortable, not just the one with the thermostat.

Choosing the Right System for Your Home

Not all air conditioners are created equal, and what works for your neighbor might not be right for your home. Proper sizing, efficiency ratings, and installation quality make all the difference.

System Sizing Matters: An oversized unit will short-cycle, wasting energy and failing to remove humidity. An undersized system will run constantly and never reach your desired temperature. We perform detailed load calculations to get it right the first time.

SEER Ratings Explained: The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio tells you how much cooling you get per dollar of electricity. Today's minimum is 14 SEER, but higher-efficiency units (16-20+ SEER) can significantly reduce operating costs in our climate.

Installation Quality: Even the best equipment won't perform properly with poor installation. Our technicians are factory-trained and follow manufacturer specifications for refrigerant charging, electrical connections, and startup procedures.

FAQ: Air Conditioning in Central Indiana

How often should I have my AC serviced?  At least once a year, ideally in spring before the heat kicks in.

Why is my AC freezing up? Ice on your indoor coil usually means restricted airflow (dirty filter, blocked vents) or low refrigerant levels. Turn off the system and call us—running a frozen unit can damage the compressor.

Should I repair or replace my old system? 
If your unit is over 12 years old and repairs are stacking up, replacement might make more sense financially.

Why is my A/C blowing warm air?
Could be low refrigerant, a faulty thermostat, or dirty coils. We can figure it out quickly.

Can you work with my existing ductwork? Most of the time, yes. We'll inspect your ducts for proper sizing, sealing, and insulation. Sometimes minor modifications improve performance significantly.

Do you offer financing for new systems? Yes, we work with financing partners to offer competitive rates and flexible terms. Many homeowners find that energy savings help offset monthly payments.

Tips Every Indianapolis Homeowner Should Know

Change Your Filter Regularly: This simple step prevents 90% of airflow problems. Check monthly during peak season, replace when dirty. Don't wait for the scheduled reminder.

Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear: Trim vegetation back at least 2 feet on all sides. Remove leaves, weeds, and debris that block airflow to the condenser coils.

Use Ceiling Fans Strategically: Fans don't cool rooms—they cool people. Run them counterclockwise in summer to create a cooling breeze but turn them off when you leave the room.

Don't Block Supply Vents: Furniture, curtains, and rugs over vents force your system to work harder. Keep all supply and return vents clear for proper air circulation.

Install a Programmable Thermostat: Raising the temperature 7-10 degrees when you're away can reduce cooling costs by 10% annually. Smart thermostats make this automatic.

Schedule Maintenance in Spring: Don't wait until the first 90-degree day to discover problems. Spring tune-ups ensure your system is ready when you need it most.
