R & M Air Conditioning Co - Ossining's Expert HVAC Services

A frozen AC unit is a common issue, especially with older systems. First, turn the system off to let the ice melt completely, which can take several hours. Running it frozen can damage the compressor. Once thawed, check your air filter and ensure vents are open. If the problem persists, it's time to call us. We'll diagnose the root cause—often low refrigerant or airflow issues—and provide a lasting repair to prevent future freeze-ups.

It depends on the system's age, repair frequency, and efficiency. If your system is over 15 years old, needs frequent costly repairs, or your energy bills are climbing, replacement is often more cost-effective. We'll perform a thorough assessment, comparing repair costs to the long-term savings and improved comfort of a new, energy-efficient model. We'll give you honest, clear advice so you can make the best decision for your Ossining home.

Seasonal maintenance is key to preventing issues like frozen coils and system failures. We recommend a professional tune-up twice a year: once in spring for your AC and once in fall for your heating system. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting electrical components. This proactive care improves efficiency, extends your system's lifespan, and helps catch small problems before they turn into expensive emergencies.
