The name on the equipment matters far less than most people think. What decides whether a new AC delivers its rated efficiency for fifteen years is the installation, and a sloppy one gives away a big share of that efficiency on day one. Size it too large and it short-cycles, pulls out little moisture, and leaves your Warren home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Warren HVAC avoids both by running a proper load calculation based on your square footage, insulation, window exposure, and ductwork, rather than simply copying whatever tonnage the previous contractor installed.
Most of our service calls are for AC Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- A failed compressor or leaking evaporator coil on an aging unit
- An older unit that runs on phased-out R-22
- A system that has already passed its twelfth to fifteenth summer
- Higher cooling costs each year with less comfort to show for it
- Uneven cooling, with certain rooms that never get comfortable
- Repair calls that keep coming, with bigger bills every time
- The house feels cold but sticky, a classic sign of oversizing
- The AC runs constantly on hot days and never reaches the setpoint
Don't Wait for a Total Failure
What seems like a minor issue today can take out a compressor or heat exchanger tomorrow. If you notice any of these signs, call (586) 204-2356 for a prompt inspection.
