Air Now Heating and Air Conditioning - El Dorado Hills's Qualified HVAC Services

This is called short-cycling, a common issue here that strains your system and increases energy bills. It can be caused by an oversized unit, a faulty thermostat, or refrigerant problems. Our technicians diagnose the specific cause—whether it's a simple sensor issue or a more complex sizing problem from a previous installation—and provide a repair or replacement solution that fits your home's actual needs.

Our maintenance service is designed to prevent problems and extend your system's life. We perform a comprehensive check, including cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, testing safety controls, and lubricating moving parts. For homeowners in our service area, we also pay special attention to airflow, inspecting for duct leakage that can reduce efficiency, especially in older homes common in Placerville and Shingle Springs.

The decision depends on the age of your system, repair costs, and your energy bills. As a general guideline, if your system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or your energy costs are climbing steadily, a replacement is often more cost-effective. We provide honest assessments, comparing repair estimates against the long-term savings and improved comfort of a new, properly sized installation for your El Dorado Hills home.
