FAQs
What does a complete air-conditioning system overhaul involve?
An overhaul is a top-to-bottom revitalization of your cooling equipment. We disassemble and deep-clean the indoor evaporator coil, outdoor condenser coil, blower assembly, and drain lines; replace worn electrical components, belts, and bearings; evacuate and recharge the refrigerant to factory specifications; update the control board firmware if applicable; pressure-test all refrigerant lines; and calibrate the thermostat. The goal is to restore your system as close to "like-new" performance and efficiency as possible.
How can I tell whether my AC in Palmer needs an overhaul instead of a standard repair?
Consider an overhaul when you notice multiple issues—such as rising energy bills, uneven cooling, frequent short cycling, and recurring refrigerant leaks—or when the unit is 10–15 years old and has not had major service. In Palmer’s temperature swings, these symptoms typically indicate systemic wear that a one-off repair will not resolve. Our technicians perform a diagnostic inspection and provide a cost-benefit report comparing targeted repairs vs. a full overhaul so you can decide confidently.
Will I be without cooling while the overhaul is performed, and how long does it take?
Most overhauls can be completed in a single day for residential split systems and within two days for larger light-commercial units. You will be without cooling only while the work is under way—usually four to eight hours. Whenever possible, we schedule the project during cooler morning hours, set up temporary portable units if the forecast calls for high heat, and restore partial operation at the end of the first day on multi-day jobs.
Can an overhaul really lower my energy bills in the Palmer climate?
Yes. A cleaned and recalibrated system can regain 15–30 % of its original SEER efficiency that is lost to dirt buildup, low refrigerant charge, and component wear. In Palmer, where summer highs hover in the 70s but shoulder-season humidity remains high, an efficient unit runs shorter cycles, removes moisture faster, and keeps your home comfortable with less runtime. Customers commonly report annual savings of $150–$350 on electricity after an overhaul.
What kind of warranty or guarantee do you provide on overhaul work?
All replacement parts come with the manufacturer’s warranty—typically one year for electrical components and five to ten years on major parts such as compressors and motors. Our labor is guaranteed for 12 months; if any workmanship-related issue arises, we correct it at no cost. We also provide a free follow-up performance check 90 days after the overhaul to ensure everything is operating at peak efficiency in Palmer’s unique climate.
How much does a system overhaul cost and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on system size, refrigerant type, and parts required, but most residential overhauls in the Palmer area range from $1,200 to $2,400—significantly less than replacing the unit. We offer zero-interest financing for six months (subject to credit approval) and accept major credit cards. Utility and state efficiency rebates may cover part of the cost when high-efficiency components are installed; our office staff can help you file the paperwork.
