Signs You May Need AC Repair
Don’t wait for a full breakdown in the middle of July. Common warning signs that your air conditioner needs attention include warm air blowing from vents, unusual noises during operation, frequent cycling on and off, rising energy bills, or excess humidity indoors. If you’re noticing any of these, it’s worth scheduling a diagnostic visit sooner rather than later.
The U.S. Department of Energy recommends annual AC maintenance to keep systems running at peak efficiency and extend their lifespan.
Choosing a New Air Conditioning System
If it’s time for a replacement, here are the key factors to consider:
Capacity
Measured in BTUs per hour, capacity determines how much heat your system can remove from your home. Models today range from 12,000 to 60,000 BTU/hr. Choosing the right size for your square footage is critical — too small and it won’t keep up; too large and it’ll cycle inefficiently.
Efficiency (SEER rating)
Efficiency is expressed as a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. A higher SEER means lower operating costs. Look for a central AC system with a SEER of 13.0 or higher for solid efficiency, or 16+ for premium energy savings.
Price
City Wide offers fair, competitive pricing and free estimates on new systems. Our knowledgeable staff will help you find the best value for your budget — not just the most expensive option.
Keep Your AC Running All Season
The best way to avoid a breakdown is a preventative tune-up before cooling season starts. Sign up for our HVAC maintenance plan and we’ll handle the scheduling for you — plus you’ll get priority service and discounts if something does come up.
We also offer furnace repair and residential geothermal systems for homeowners looking for a longer-term energy solution.
