Wallingford Air Conditioning Services

Cooling Solutions for Homes and Businesses in New Haven, Middlesex, and Hartford Counties

Since 1994, we’ve worked with commercial and residential property owners on various air conditioning needs. 

Our services include: 

Installation

Installing a new air conditioning unit comes with numerous benefits, including:

• Improved energy efficiency: Modern AC units use advanced technologies, such as variable-speed motors and smart thermostats, to optimize energy consumption, which can save money on monthly utility bills. 
• Enhanced comfort: A new unit provides more consistent cooling, keeping your home or business comfortable during hot days. 
• Better air quality: New systems often come with advanced filtration options that help reduce indoor air pollutants. This often results in a healthier indoor environment, which is especially beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
• Increased reliability: A new air conditioning system will result in fewer breakdowns and repairs. Modern units are built with durable components that withstand wear and tear better. 
• Eco-friendly options: Many new units are designed to be environmentally friendly, using refrigerants that have a lower impact on the ozone layer. Additionally, energy-efficient systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Repair

Early intervention helps limit any damage. When you see red flags like these, give us a call: 

• Reduced cooling performance: This can be due to issues like refrigerant leaks, blocked vents, or malfunctioning components. 
• Strange noises: Banging, clanking, or hissing can indicate mechanical problems that may necessitate repair. These noises suggest loose parts, motor issues, or problems with the fan.
• Frequent cycling: If your unit is turning on and off more frequently than normal, it could be struggling to maintain the set temperature due to underlying issues. The causes can include thermostat malfunctions, improper airflow, or refrigerant issues.
• Bad odors: Musty or burning smells coming from the vents can signal mold growth or electrical problems that need to be addressed. Musty odors often suggest moisture issues, while burning smells can indicate overheating components. 
• High energy bills: A damaged system works inefficiently. Inefficient systems work harder and, therefore, cost more. The cause can be dirty filters, low refrigerant levels, or worn-out parts. 

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your AC unit running smoothly. Here are some DIY tips:

• Clean or replace filters: Clogged filters can restrict airflow, forcing the system to work harder and use more energy. Clean filters help maintain efficient operation and prolong the life of your unit.
• Check the thermostat: Make sure your thermostat is set correctly and maintaining your desired temperature. Proper thermostat settings can enhance comfort and curb unnecessary energy usage.
• Inspect outdoor unit: Keep the area around an outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and other obstructions so you can get proper airflow. Trim back any vegetation and remove any buildup that could impede performance. 
• Clean the coils: Gently clean the evaporator and condenser coils to remove dust and grime that can affect efficiency. Dirty coils can decrease the system's ability to cool your home and increase energy consumption.

The air conditioning professionals in our Wallingford office can also schedule routine maintenance for you. We can take further steps, including monitoring refrigerant levels, checking the electrical connections, and other tasks that are best done by a certified technician trained in proper protocols.
