Most A/C failures in the field are electrical: a breaker sized wrong, a corroded disconnect, a loose connection at the condenser. Because we handle both the unit and the circuit feeding it, the install is right end to end and there is no second contractor to schedule.
What this covers
- Mini-split (ductless) installation
- Split and central system installation
- Unit replacement and upgrade
- Dedicated circuits, breakers and disconnects
- Preventive maintenance and cleaning
- Refrigerant, drainage and airflow diagnostics
- Thermostat and smart control setup
- Repair of systems installed by others
Who this is for
Residential
Room-by-room mini-splits for houses and apartments, sized for the space so the unit is not fighting itself all day — plus routine cleaning that keeps efficiency and air quality up.
Commercial
Offices, shops and server rooms where a failed unit means closed doors or overheating equipment, with maintenance scheduled before the failure instead of after.
Questions about Air Conditioning
What size unit do I need?
It comes from the room: square footage, ceiling height, sun exposure, insulation and how many people use it. An oversized unit short-cycles, never dehumidifies properly and wears out early — bigger is genuinely not better here.
Does an A/C need its own circuit?
Yes. Air conditioning belongs on a dedicated, correctly sized circuit with the right breaker and disconnect. Sharing a circuit is a common cause of tripping and of premature compressor failure — and it is where we most often find shortcuts left by previous installers.
How often should it be serviced?
In our climate — salt air, humidity, year-round use — regular cleaning matters more than in most places. Neglected coils and filters cost you in electricity long before the unit actually fails.
Can you fix a system someone else installed?
Yes. We diagnose it as it stands, tell you what is actually wrong, and quote the repair. If the honest answer is that replacement costs less than chasing it, we will say so.
Can the A/C run on solar?
It can, and it is one of the loads that makes a solar system worth having — but it needs to be sized into the array and battery deliberately. Since we do both, we can plan the A/C and the solar as one system.
