FAQs
What does it mean for your technicians to be NATE-certified, and why should I care?
NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification is the HVAC industry’s most respected credential. To earn it, a technician must pass rigorous, proctored exams that cover core heating, cooling, and refrigeration competencies along with specialty subjects such as gas furnaces, air-to-air heat pumps, and air distribution. Choosing a NATE-certified professional in Andersonville means you’re hiring someone who has demonstrated both deep technical knowledge and real-world troubleshooting skills. This translates into more accurate diagnoses, properly completed repairs and installations, higher system efficiency, and longer equipment life—ultimately saving you time, money, and unnecessary stress.

How fast can you respond to an HVAC emergency in Andersonville?
We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Andersonville and the surrounding North Side neighborhoods. A live dispatcher answers your call at any hour, and a NATE-certified technician is typically on site within 2–4 hours—often sooner during normal business days. Our trucks are stocked with the most commonly used parts for major brands, allowing us to resolve many no-heat or no-cool situations on the first visit. If a special component is required, we expedite sourcing through our local supply network to minimize downtime.
Can your NATE-certified technicians help improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Absolutely. During maintenance or service visits, our technicians perform a detailed efficiency audit that can include: • Checking static pressure and airflow to identify duct issues • Measuring refrigerant charge and superheat/sub-cool levels for optimal performance • Verifying gas-burner combustion to ensure clean, efficient operation • Inspecting insulation, weather-stripping, and thermostat placement Based on the findings, we provide a prioritized list of recommendations—ranging from simple filter changes and programmable thermostat settings to high-efficiency equipment upgrades—and calculate potential energy savings so you can make informed decisions.
Do your services come with any guarantees or warranties?
Yes. All repair labor performed by our NATE-certified technicians is covered by a 1-year workmanship guarantee, and parts follow the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1–10 years depending on the component. New system installations include a 10-year parts warranty and a 2-year labor warranty, with extended coverage options available. If a problem arises within the guarantee period, we return at no cost to correct it. We also offer a 100% satisfaction pledge: if you’re not completely happy with our service, we’ll make it right or refund the service fee.
How often should I schedule maintenance, and what does your NATE-certified tune-up include?
We recommend two preventive tune-ups per year—one in spring for cooling equipment and one in fall for heating systems. Our NATE-certified maintenance checklist includes: • Thorough cleaning of burners, coils, blowers, and drain lines • Testing safety controls, ignition systems, and gas pressures • Tightening electrical connections and measuring voltage/amperage • Lubricating moving parts to reduce wear • Calibrating thermostats and verifying system cycling • Checking refrigerant levels and adjusting if necessary • Inspecting ductwork for leaks and verifying airflow Regular maintenance helps prevent up to 80% of breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid, and can cut utility costs by 10–15% annually.
