Fast & Efficient Service...

Patriot Air showed up on time, checked out my furnace, and within minutes of being there not only diagnosed the problem, but had the parts on the truck to fix it. Within thirty minutes, my furnace was blowing hot air again. Brian, the technician gave me tips on how to take better care of my furnace and even showed me how to change the air filter by myself. I couldn’t be happier and I’ve found my heating and cooling company for life. Thank you Patriot Air!

Patriot Air to the Rescue...

Our furnace went out while we were at work, and we came home to a freezing house. We have small children, so having it too cold in the house isn’t an option. We called around to a few places, and Patriot Air was the only HVAC company to return our call and immediately rushed a technician to our house. I can’t thank them enough for putting my family first and ensuring my kids had a warm home to sleep in. I tell everyone Patriot Air is the only HVAC company I’ll ever call again.

Knowledgeable & Professional...

I previously had an HVAC repair company come out to my house and attempt to repair my heat pump. They showed up late. The service technician spent most of the time on his phone, tracked mud into my house, and ultimately had no idea how to fix my problem. I called Patriot Air the next day, they showed up that same day, found and fixed the problem, and treated me and my house respectfully. I highly recommend Patriot Air for your heating and cooling needs.

Honest & Courteous...

Having a fixed income with unexpected expenses, like fixing the heating and cooling systems, is hard. Luckily for us, Patriot Air is a company that doesn’t nickel and dime you to death and is very fair-priced. They didn’t try to sell us anything we didn’t need and made sure we were comfortable with the price before they did any work. We were able to afford our repairs through their financing program. Now our central air is working wonderfully.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some ways to lower energy bills?

The easiest ways for homeowners to beat the summer heat and conserve energy are closing blinds and shades, as radiant heat from sunlight can make your AC unit work hard to cool air. Changing the air filter regularly, once a month during the summer, is ideal. Installing ceiling fans can make the air feel even cooler while someone is in the room.

Installing a programmable thermostat is a reasonably easy and inexpensive way to save 10% on energy bills. Have your air conditioner maintained yearly – it is better to know of a possible problem before it happens.

One of the last and possible best ways to save is having an energy audit. Doing this could save 30%-50%, with the average cost of $250 for a 1,200-square-foot house. Such an undertaking isn’t necessarily inexpensive, but with the knowledge and insights you will gain about your home, its trouble spots, and ways to improve efficiency and cut costs, the energy audit will pay for itself in the long run.

How often should an AC unit be serviced?

Your air conditioning service should happen at least once a year. This is to ensure that the air conditioner is working properly and efficiently. Yearly air conditioning service consists of:

  • Making sure the refrigerant levels are correct.
  • Ensuring the unit’s copper tubes are free of defects.
  • Checking the airflow around the evaporator coil.
  • Cleaning the coils with a special cleaning agent.
  • Flushing the drain lines to combat mold and mildew.
  • Inspecting and testing all electrical wiring connections for safety and appropriate rating, and testing capacitors, valves, and fan blades. Checking the blower motor to ensure amps and voltage are working correctly.
  • Testing and calibrating the thermostat. Measuring temperatures coming from all returns.
  • Lubricating all moving parts. Checking all bearings for wear and tear.
  • Inspecting and repairing the electrical parts. Measuring amp and voltage draw on the condenser.
  • Inspecting for worn or loose motor belts or pulleys, and repairing where appropriate.
  • Removing debris in or around the compressor, condenser, and fan. Brushing any bent coil fins back into shape.
  • Checking airflow of blades and blower wheel.

What type of filter should I use and how often should I change it?

Your A/C filter should be changed every 2-3 months. Mechanical air filters are the most common type of filter. Pleated air filters are more effective in removing allergens and pollutants from the air than mechanical filters. Electronic air filters are the most expensive and the most effective. Search around and find the best air filter type for your unit and situation. There really is no right or wrong answer for an air filter; as long as it is changed regularly, it will help clean your air and keep your air conditioner running at its prime.

What happens if I do not maintain my air conditioner?

Without regular maintenance your air conditioner won’t last as long as you expect it to, and it will cost you more money. Never cleaning your ac unit can create a real risk of an electrical fire.

How do I properly take care of my air conditioner?

The bottom line is just keeping your AC unit clean. Replacing air filters and cleaning air ducts can increase the life of your air conditioner. Always remember to schedule an annual AC maintenance check-up to catch little problems before they get worse.
