Everything Your AC System Needs

Dempsey Energy handles every aspect of air conditioning service, from emergency repairs that get you cool fast to preventive maintenance that prevents breakdowns. We service all major AC brands and have the parts and expertise to fix problems right the first time.

Our maintenance services catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and calibrating thermostats. Regular maintenance typically extends system life by years and keeps energy bills lower.

For older systems that keep breaking down, we provide honest assessments about repair versus replacement. We’ll help you understand when investing in repairs makes sense and when a new system is the smarter financial choice. Our installation services include proper sizing, efficient setup, and thorough testing to ensure optimal performance.

Most AC systems need professional maintenance once a year, ideally in late spring before the heavy cooling season starts. However, if your system is older than 10 years or runs constantly during summer, twice-yearly service helps catch problems early. Regular maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and replacing filters. This prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently. Systems that get regular maintenance typically last 3-5 years longer than those that don’t, and they use less energy throughout their lifespan.
Call for service immediately if your AC is blowing warm air, making unusual noises like grinding or squealing, or if you notice water leaking around the unit. Other red flags include frequent cycling on and off, weak airflow from vents, or strange smells when the system runs. High humidity levels in your home despite the AC running also indicates a problem. Don’t ignore these warning signs – small issues often become expensive repairs if left untreated. Most emergency breakdowns give some warning beforehand, so addressing problems early saves money and prevents uncomfortable situations during heat waves.
If your AC is less than 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new system, repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re facing expensive repairs on a system that’s 12+ years old, replacement often provides better long-term value. Other factors include rising energy bills, frequent breakdowns, and difficulty keeping your home comfortable. A good technician will give you honest advice about whether your system has years of reliable service left or if you’re throwing money at a dying system. Consider replacement when repair costs exceed $1,500 on older units.
High summer energy bills usually mean your AC is working harder than it should. Common causes include dirty air filters, blocked vents, leaking ductwork, or low refrigerant levels. An AC system that’s too small for your home will run constantly trying to keep up. Poor insulation and air leaks also force your system to work overtime. Regular maintenance addresses most efficiency problems, but sometimes the issue is an aging system that simply can’t cool efficiently anymore. A professional energy assessment can identify specific problems and help you prioritize improvements that will actually lower your bills.
First, check your thermostat settings and make sure it’s set to cool mode with the temperature below the current room temperature. Check your circuit breaker to see if it’s tripped. Look at your air filter – a completely clogged filter can shut down some systems. If these basic checks don’t solve the problem, turn off the system and call for professional service. Don’t keep trying to restart a system that won’t run properly, as this can cause additional damage. Most complete system failures need professional diagnosis and repair, but catching them early prevents more expensive problems.
The most effective prevention is annual professional maintenance combined with regular filter changes every 1-3 months depending on your system and home conditions. Keep outdoor units clear of debris, plants, and obstructions that block airflow. Don’t ignore small problems like unusual noises or weak airflow – addressing issues early prevents major breakdowns. Consider joining a maintenance program that includes regular tune-ups and priority service. Also, avoid extreme thermostat settings that force your system to work overtime. Setting your thermostat a few degrees higher when you’re away saves energy and reduces wear on your equipment.
