Everything Your AC System Needs

Emergency repairs when your system stops working unexpectedly. Regular maintenance helps identify small problems before they develop into expensive failures. New installations when it’s time to replace an old, inefficient system.

Fairhaven’s coastal location means your AC works harder due to humidity and salt air exposure. Our maintenance service includes cleaning components that are particularly affected by these conditions, checking refrigerant levels, and verifying your system operates efficiently.

The Dempsey Comfort Club provides ongoing care for customers who want to stay ahead of problems. Members get priority scheduling, regular maintenance reminders, and benefits that help keep their systems running reliably year after year.

How often should I have my air conditioning system serviced?

Most AC systems in Fairhaven should be serviced once a year, ideally in late spring before the heavy cooling season begins. However, if your system is older than 10 years or if you live very close to the water where salt air exposure is higher, twice-yearly service can help catch problems early. Regular maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, and replacing filters. This prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently, which saves money on energy bills.

What should I do if my AC stops cooling properly?

First, check your thermostat settings and make sure the filter isn’t completely clogged—a dirty filter can restrict airflow enough to make your system struggle. If those aren’t the issue, turn the system off and call for service rather than letting it run continuously. Running a malfunctioning AC can cause more expensive damage. Common causes include low refrigerant, dirty coils, or electrical problems. In Fairhaven’s humid climate, ice buildup on coils is also possible if airflow is restricted. A professional diagnosis will identify the real problem and prevent you from wasting money on unnecessary repairs.

How do I know if I need AC repair or a full replacement?

If your system is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re facing frequent breakdowns, dramatically higher energy bills, or if the system can’t keep your home comfortable even when running constantly, replacement might be more cost-effective. Age matters too—systems over 15 years old often have efficiency ratings much lower than current models. An honest assessment from a local technician who understands your specific situation will help you make the right financial decision for your home.

Why does my AC seem to work harder in Fairhaven than other places?

Fairhaven’s coastal location creates notable challenges for air conditioning systems. The salt air can corrode components faster than inland areas, and the high humidity means your AC has to remove more moisture from the air, not just cool it. This extra workload can stress the system and increase energy consumption. Additionally, temperature swings between day and night near the water can cause more frequent cycling. Regular maintenance that includes thorough coil cleaning and checking for salt air damage helps your system handle these conditions more efficiently and last longer.

What's included in a typical AC maintenance visit?

A thorough maintenance visit includes cleaning both indoor and outdoor coils, checking and adjusting refrigerant levels, inspecting all electrical connections, testing the thermostat calibration, and replacing or cleaning filters. We’ll also check the condensate drain, inspect ductwork connections, and test safety controls. In coastal areas like Fairhaven, we pay extra attention to checking for salt air corrosion and cleaning components that are particularly affected by humidity. You’ll get a report on your system’s condition and recommendations for any issues that need attention before they cause problems.

How quickly can you respond to emergency AC repairs?

Emergency response times depend on the season and current service demand, but we prioritize urgent calls, especially during heat waves when AC failure can be more than just uncomfortable. We maintain a local inventory of common parts to avoid delays in waiting for special orders. During peak summer months, we often extend service hours to handle emergency calls. Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling for both emergency and routine service. Our goal is same-day or next-day response for true emergencies, with clear communication about timing when you call so you know what to expect.
