FAQs
What types of air conditioning systems do you install in Kelso homes?
We install a full range of systems, including traditional split-system air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, and high-efficiency heat pumps that provide both cooling and heating. Our technicians will evaluate your home’s size, insulation, and existing ductwork to recommend the best option for Kelso’s mild winters and warm summer days.
How do I know what size air conditioner my home needs?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort and efficiency. During a free in-home consultation, we perform a Manual J load calculation that considers square footage, window placement, insulation levels, and local Kelso climate data. This ensures your new system isn’t oversized (which causes short cycling) or undersized (which can’t keep up on hot days).
How often should my air conditioner be serviced?
For Kelso residents, we recommend a professional tune-up every spring before the cooling season begins. Regular maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, and inspecting the condensate drain. Annual servicing can reduce energy consumption by up to 15% and helps extend equipment life.
Are there energy-efficient options that can lower my utility bills?
Yes. We offer ENERGY STAR®-rated units and variable-speed heat pumps with SEER2 ratings of 18–24. These systems adjust output automatically to match cooling demand, using less electricity. Customers in Kelso may also qualify for utility rebates or federal tax incentives when upgrading to high-efficiency equipment.
What financing or rebate programs are available for new AC installations?
Our Kelso customers can take advantage of 0% interest financing for up to 18 months (on approved credit) and utility rebates through the Clark Public Utilities HVAC program. In addition, federal tax credits of up to 30% (capped at $2,000) are available on qualifying heat pumps under the Inflation Reduction Act.
Do you offer emergency AC repair services in Kelso?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency repair throughout Kelso and the surrounding Cowlitz County area. Our fully stocked service vans and certified technicians allow us to resolve most breakdowns on the first visit, so you can get back to a cool, comfortable home quickly.
