We've cooled countless Auburn homes. We know the climate, the building styles, the seasonal patterns.
We're not learning on your dime. Our experience with Auburn's unique climate and housing means faster diagnosis and better solutions for your specific situation.
We run diagnostics with proper equipment. We tell you what's wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether replacement makes sense.
If a repair will serve you well, we'll say so. If replacement makes more financial sense, we'll explain why. You get honest information to make the right decision.
From ductwork evaluation to refrigerant charge verification to electrical connections — we understand the complete system.
Problems aren't always in the equipment; sometimes they're in the install or the ductwork. Our comprehensive approach identifies the real cause and fixes it right.

A well-maintained air conditioner runs cooler, costs less to operate, and lasts longer. Maintenance catches problems early — refrigerant leaks, electrical issues, airflow problems — before they become expensive failures.
Most systems benefit from a spring tune-up before cooling season begins. That's when we replace filters, clean the condenser, verify refrigerant charge, check electrical connections, and calibrate the thermostat.
We replace your filter with a quality replacement and check airflow throughout the system. Restricted airflow is the leading cause of AC problems and high utility bills.
The outdoor condenser coil is cleaned of dirt, leaves, and debris that reduce efficiency. We inspect the unit for damage, loose connections, and signs of wear.
We verify refrigerant charge, test electrical connections, check capacitors, and measure voltage and amperage. These tests identify problems before they cause failures.
We test and calibrate your thermostat to ensure accurate temperature control and efficient operation. Smart thermostat upgrades available if needed.
You receive a detailed report of our findings, any recommendations, and a maintenance schedule to keep your system running efficiently all season long.
Our maintenance members enjoy priority scheduling, consistent system performance, and the confidence that comes from knowing a trained professional is keeping an eye on their equipment throughout the year.

Heating and cooling in one system. More efficient and useful in mild-winter climates like central Alabama.
Ductless cooling for any space. Perfect for additions, garages, workshops, or homes without existing ductwork.

All-in-one heating and cooling for space-constrained homes. Everything in one outdoor unit.
Filtration and purification systems that improve the air you breathe inside your home.
Two annual tune-ups, priority service, and 15% off repairs to keep your system running right.
A spring tune-up before cooling season is the minimum. If you're in our maintenance plan, we'll schedule you. Without a plan, call when you notice any change in performance — unusual sounds, weak cooling, odd smells.
Several things: low refrigerant charge (often from a slow leak), dirty filters restricting airflow, thermostat set too high, clogged condensing unit, or problems with ductwork. A proper diagnostic identifies the culprit quickly.
Modern refrigerant (R-410A) is safe in normal operation, but leaks should be fixed immediately. Low refrigerant causes poor cooling and can damage your compressor. If you smell something unusual or suspect a leak, call us.
System costs depend on your home's size, efficiency goals, equipment choice, and installation complexity. We don't quote prices over the phone. Schedule a free in-home assessment and we'll provide a transparent estimate.
Most often yes, but it depends on your furnace's age, condition, and electrical capacity. We'll evaluate both during the assessment and recommend the best configuration.
Central AC cools only. A heat pump heats and cools using the same equipment. Heat pumps are more efficient and useful in mild-winter climates like central Alabama. Learn more about heat pumps.
Yes. We partner with Wells Fargo for flexible terms. See financing options.
A typical system replacement takes 4–8 hours, depending on ductwork changes and complexity. We'll confirm the timeline during your estimate.
Most equipment includes a 10-year manufacturer warranty on the compressor and parts. Labor warranty varies by installer. We include a 1-year labor warranty on all installations. Ask about extended warranty options.
Check that the thermostat is set to cool and the temperature is set below the current room temp. Verify the breaker isn't tripped. If the system still won't run, call us. Don't try to force it or run it disabled — that can cause damage.
