Everything Your AC System Needs

We handle the full range of air conditioning services that Plainville homeowners actually need. Emergency repairs when your system stops working on the hottest day of the year. Routine maintenance that prevents most breakdowns before they happen.

System installations when repair costs don’t make sense anymore. We’ll help you understand when it’s time to replace rather than repair, and what size and efficiency level makes sense for your home and budget.

Our maintenance programs catch the small issues before they become expensive problems. Clean coils, proper refrigerant levels, and components that work the way they’re supposed to. Your system runs more efficiently and lasts longer when it gets the attention it needs.

Most air conditioning systems need professional maintenance once a year, ideally in late spring before the cooling season starts. During this service, we clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and test all components to make sure everything works efficiently. If you have an older system or use your AC heavily, twice-yearly service can help prevent breakdowns and extend the system’s life. Regular maintenance typically prevents about 80% of the problems that cause emergency service calls during peak summer months.
Watch for these common warning signs: your system runs constantly but doesn’t cool effectively, unusual noises like grinding or squealing, weak airflow from vents, or ice forming on the outdoor unit. Higher than normal energy bills often indicate your system is working harder than it should. Strange smells, frequent cycling on and off, or warm air coming from vents are also red flags. If you notice any of these issues, it’s better to address them quickly rather than wait for a complete breakdown during hot weather.
The decision usually comes down to age, repair costs, and efficiency. If your system is over 10 years old and needs repairs costing more than half the price of a new unit, replacement often makes more sense financially. Newer systems are significantly more energy efficient, which can offset the installation cost through lower utility bills. We’ll evaluate your current system’s condition, explain your options honestly, and help you understand the long-term costs of both choices so you can make the decision that works best for your situation.
AC units freeze when airflow is restricted or refrigerant levels are wrong. The most common cause is a dirty air filter that blocks airflow over the evaporator coil, causing it to get too cold and freeze. Other causes include blocked vents, dirty coils, low refrigerant due to leaks, or blower fan problems. If your unit freezes, turn it off and let it thaw completely before running it again. Check your air filter first, but if the problem continues, you need professional diagnosis to prevent damage to the compressor.
Start with regular maintenance to keep your system running efficiently. Change air filters monthly during peak season, keep vents unblocked, and set your thermostat to 78°F when you’re home. A programmable thermostat can automatically adjust temperatures when you’re away. Seal air leaks around windows and doors, use ceiling fans to circulate air, and consider upgrading to a more efficient system if yours is over 10 years old. Proper insulation also reduces the workload on your AC system, leading to lower energy bills.
AC sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate conditions. A system that’s too small won’t cool effectively, while an oversized unit cycles on and off frequently, wasting energy and not removing humidity properly. We perform a load calculation that considers all these factors to determine the right capacity for your specific home. This ensures optimal comfort, efficiency, and system longevity. Most Plainville homes need between 2-5 tons of cooling capacity, but proper sizing requires professional assessment.
