Questions and Answers
What's included in your standard HVAC maintenance service?
Our maintenance service is designed to keep your system running efficiently and prevent costly breakdowns. We perform a comprehensive check, including inspecting electrical connections, testing system controls, cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and lubricating moving parts. For Alhambra homeowners, we pay special attention to components like capacitors and air handler fans, which are common failure points in our local climate, to ensure your system is ready for the demanding seasons.
My AC isn't cooling properly. Could it be a capacitor issue, and can you fix it?
Yes, a failing capacitor is a very common reason for an AC struggling to start or cool effectively, especially during Alhambra's hot summers. Our technicians are experienced in quickly diagnosing this specific issue. We carry a wide range of capacitors on our service vehicles and can typically replace a faulty one on the spot, restoring your cooling system's performance reliably and efficiently.
As a family-owned business, how do you ensure quality on larger installation projects?
Our family-owned structure means we are directly invested in every job's outcome. For installations and replacements, founder Horace Gilbert's engineering background in control systems informs our approach, ensuring technical precision. We manage projects personally, from the initial load calculation to the final system check, using our experienced crew. This hands-on oversight guarantees the installation meets our high standards for performance and longevity, whether it's a residential upgrade or a more complex system.
