For after-hours emergencies we guarantee arrival the same day, often within 60–90 minutes. We keep fully stocked service vans so 90 % of breakdowns are repaired on the first visit, minimizing downtime in Georgia’s summer heat.
What are the signs my air conditioner needs professional attention?
Common red flags include warm air from vents, weak airflow, short cycling, unexplained spikes in utility bills, water or refrigerant leaks, uneven room temperatures, and unusual noises or odors. If you notice any of these issues, shut off the system and schedule service. Early intervention prevents costly component damage and extends equipment life.
How often should I schedule AC maintenance, and what does it include?
We recommend a professional tune-up once a year, ideally in early spring. Our 20-point maintenance checklist includes cleaning coils, tightening electrical connections, checking refrigerant charge, lubricating moving parts, calibrating the thermostat, clearing the condensate drain, testing safety controls, and verifying overall system performance. Regular maintenance can cut energy use by up to 15 % and reduce the risk of midsummer breakdowns.
Can you help me choose an energy-efficient air conditioner for Athens’ climate?
Absolutely. We perform a Manual J load calculation to size the unit correctly, then present ENERGY STAR-rated options with SEER2 ratings of 15–22 that balance upfront cost and long-term savings. We’ll explain variable-speed and two-stage compressor technology, humidity control features, and available rebates from Georgia Power and federal tax credits, so you can make an informed decision.
What financing or payment options are available for new AC installations?
Optimal Performance partners with trusted lenders to offer flexible financing plans—including zero-interest 6- and 12-month options and low-APR terms up to 72 months—subject to credit approval. We also accept major credit cards and provide instant rebate processing.
