Most residential AC installations are completed in one day (6-8 hours). More complex installations, such as ductless mini-split systems with multiple zones, may take 1-2 days. We'll provide a clear timeline during your free estimate.
We recommend professional AC maintenance at least once per year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. Regular maintenance can improve efficiency by up to 15%, prevent costly breakdowns, and extend your system's lifespan.
Common causes include low refrigerant levels, a dirty air filter, frozen evaporator coils, a malfunctioning compressor, or thermostat issues. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the problem and provide an upfront repair quote.
A well-maintained furnace typically lasts 15-20 years. If your furnace is over 15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a new, energy-efficient model.
A heat pump is an energy-efficient system that provides both heating and cooling by transferring heat rather than generating it. Heat pumps work excellently in the Inglewood climate and can reduce energy costs by 30-40% compared to traditional furnaces and AC units.
A brief burning smell when first using your furnace after a long period of disuse is usually dust burning off the heat exchanger and is normal. However, if the smell persists, smells like rotten eggs (gas), or is accompanied by smoke, turn off the system immediately and call us.
The cost of a new HVAC system varies based on the size of your home, the type of system, and efficiency rating. In the Inglewood area, most residential installations range from $4,000 to $12,000. We provide detailed, written estimates with no hidden fees.
We do charge a slightly higher rate for emergency after-hours calls (nights, weekends, and holidays) to compensate our on-call technicians. However, Comfort Club members receive priority scheduling with no overtime charges.
