Air Conditioning

With years of experience, we've seen it all. Give these do-it-yourself fixes a try before you give us a call. Here are some common quick and easy fixes:

• Filter: A dirty filter in your air conditioner could be inhibiting cool airflow.
• Thermostat: Try lowering the temperature of your thermostat 3 to 5 degrees below regular room temperature to check if the outdoor unit turns on.
• Tripped circuit breakers: Sometimes circuit breakers become tripped, reset the specific breaker.
• Blocked vents: Blocked vents stop the flow of cool air, make sure to allow vents to stay open and avoid putting furniture and other items on top.
• Outdoor unit: Make sure your air conditioner has no debris or landscaping blocking your outdoor unit because it requires the circulation of air.

Tune-Ups and Maintenance- Mechanical systems like air conditioning units require regular tune-up & maintenance services in order to keep your system running efficiently and without any breakdowns. Air Conditioner maintenance service calls are carried out once a year so that minor upkeeps can be fixed rather than experiencing a costly repair or even a breakdown.

Our maintenance services are carried out by our professionals that leave nothing overlooked. AC maintenance calls consist of servicing vital areas of your air conditioner which include checking filters, the drainage pipes to ensure there are no blockages, electrical connections, refrigerant recharges and an overall inspection to ensure all problems, no matter how small, are taken care of.

Our tune-up services are concentrated on areas of concern in your air conditioning system. Tune-ups are usually undertaken between maintenance services on specific parts of equipment that are growing old through wear and tear. This will allow you to take care of any parts that are acting up or are unused for an extended period of time. During the winter months, your air conditioner is not being used therefore, it collects dust and debris. As a result, the excess dust and dirt are not only harmful to you but can cause problems in the sensitive components of your ac system.

Repairs- The best way to stay clear of repairs is by having one of our expert technicians do an annual preventative maintenance check on your system to prevent repairs before a break-down occurs. In the event that a repair is needed a Humberview professional will inspect your current system and advise you whether a repair or a replacement is your best option. We will provide you with professional advice so you are confident in the decision you're making for your home and specific needs. We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your current system and provide an opinion of whether you would benefit by upgrading. Often, newer ac systems are more reliable and energy-efficient, which will help you save hundreds of dollars in energy costs each year. At Humberview Hvac we pride ourselves on fast repairs that guarantee the efficiency of your air conditioning system.

Replacements- Air conditioning systems need to be replaced every 10 to 17 years depending on how your ac unit has been installed and if it has been properly maintained. However, overusing as well as underusing you’re ac along with improper routine duct cleanings and inspections can cause your unit to start failing. Indications of needing a new cooling unit can be inefficiency and inconsistency of keeping your home cool. One key characteristic of these problems that people have noticed is a rise in their utility bills each month. When you notice these changes, it is best to call us so we can have a look for you. First, we will give you a free consultation and advise you whether repair or replacement is your best option. If we think that improving the longevity and performance of your ac unit is not possible through repairs we will suggest a replacement. Our experts will advise you on your best replacement option depending on your needs.

You can trust Humberview Hvac's professional experience for all your air conditioning needs.

Some Factors to Consider When Replacing Your System

• Age and Efficiency: If your unit is older than 12 years and not working to its full efficiency an upgrade can be a good option. The standard Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) helps you understand the efficiency of your unit, the higher the ratio is the lower your energy bills and electrical consumption will be. The SEER is set at a minimum of 13 ranging to 25.5. You can save money by allowing us to install a new unit for you.
• Space Changes: If you’ve made adjustments to your home, a size change for your unit may be a good idea. Building an addition or adding insulation to your home can alter your cooling needs.
• Replacement Cost: Cost is a big consideration in deciding what unit you will be installing. However, depending on the kind of system you install, government and utility rebates can be available to help you offset your bill.
