AC Repair
Emergency and scheduled air conditioning repairs restore summer comfort quickly. Our diagnostics identify issues with compressors, refrigerant levels, and electrical components. Timely repairs extend system lifespan and prevent costly breakdowns during peak usage periods.

Questions
What thermostat setback is most efficient for energy savings?
Programmable thermostats save about $180 annually when properly set. Adjust settings 7-10 degrees for 8 hours daily during off-peak times for optimal savings.
How often should furnace filters be changed?
Standard disposable filters require monthly replacement. Electronic filters need monthly cleaning, while enhanced media filters should be replaced every 6-12 months depending on usage.
What causes dry throat and nose at night?
Low indoor humidity levels cause these symptoms. Installing a whole-house humidifier can resolve this issue while protecting wood furniture and reducing static electricity.
Why choose a high-efficiency furnace?
High-efficiency furnaces reduce operating costs by 20-30% compared to older models. They also feature advanced technology for more consistent temperature control and improved comfort.
What are carbon monoxide dangers?
CO is odorless, colorless, and toxic. Install low-level detectors on each floor, especially near bedrooms, to monitor levels from potential furnace or water heater malfunctions.
What's included in HVAC tune-ups?
Our 14-point tune-up includes burner cleaning, carbon monoxide testing, electrical checks, refrigerant adjustments, thermostat calibration, and filter replacement (additional cost for filters).

We have used this company for many years. Its staff is outstanding, very professional and well trained. They fix any problem and do not try to sell additional services. I do not usually make vendor evaluations but do so for Echols and highly recommend it.
