Reliable Air Conditioning Services In Sonoma and Marin Counties

Temperatures in the summertime can be sweltering in Northern California, and the season seems to get longer and longer each year. You spend a significant amount of time outdoors during these months, and after enduring the heat, we want you to have a cool, relaxing home to return to. If your air conditioning isn’t functioning the way it should, it may be time for your AC to be serviced or even replaced. 

If your home does not have an air conditioning system, or if it’s simply not working properly, you’ll sigh in relief when you feel the difference a properly functioning cooling system can make. When you start to notice your home isn’t as cool as it should be, it’s better to diagnose the problem early to prevent more costly repairs down the road. 

Even if your unit is only a few years old, keeping up with routine care ensures it stays working when you need it most. When maintained properly, the average AC unit should last 15-25 years. If your AC is getting older, we can help you determine if a simple repair can keep it functioning or if it’s time to move on and replace your unit. 

No matter what stage you’re at with your system, you can trust our experience to advise you in the proper course of action. Air conditioning services we provide include AC installation, AC replacement, and AC service and repair. ​

Frequently Asked Questions About Cooling

  • How do I know when it’s time for an AC replacement?

    The lifespan of an average air conditioner is 13 years. However, many factors, including climate, frequency of use, and quality of maintenance, can prolong the life expectancy of your system. If you run your unit constantly throughout the year or you fail to maintain the system regularly, you may need to replace it after ten years or less. If you notice reduced air efficiency, unusual sounds, or high humidity levels in your home, it may be time for a new unit. 

  • What AC unit is best for my home?

    There are many factors to consider when choosing a central air system for your home. If you plan to stay in the house for more than five years, choose a highly efficient unit so you can save money on your monthly utility bills. If you are simply upgrading your system to sell your home, a basic model may be the best option. Always consult with a licensed HVAC contractor before choosing a system. A professional can recommend a unit suitable for your lifestyle and property location. Keep in mind that many high-end AC units come with multi-year warranties, while cheaper models may come with no warranty protection. 

  • How long do AC units last?

    An average AC unit that is serviced annually will last up to 15 years. Ignoring safety inspection recommendations or failing to fix routine problems can significantly decrease the lifespan of your system. You should contact a certified HVAC professional each year to perform routine diagnostics and cleaning services. You should replace the filter once every six months to keep your system functioning optimally. 

  • What is SEER?

    SEER is short for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, which is a measurement of the efficiency of your air conditioning system. The ratio is measured by dividing a typical cooling output by the total electric input during the same period. A SEER rating can measure the maximum efficiency of a unit, similar to the miles per gallon you get in your car. The maximum efficiency rating for an AC unit is 21 SEER. 

  • Is it necessary to service my AC every year?

    Servicing your unit annually is the best way to diagnose problems early and keep the system performing optimally. Annual inspections are not only important to keep your system clean, but they can help identify potential safety hazards. A broken-down air conditioner can leave your home at an uncomfortable temperature in a matter of hours. Avoid potential problems by servicing your unit regularly.
