"First, Schaal really needs to add "plumbing" to their catchy commercial jingle because whenever I'd tell someone who I'd called to come and fix my leaky toilet they'd say "They do plumbing too?" Yes, they do. Second, I have to mention Deb, who answered the phone when I called to schedule my appointment, has to be one of the best customer-service people I've dealt with. She was extremely friendly and helpful, so compliments to her. The reason for my call was a toilet leaking into my basement when flushed. Also had the valve replaced as it sprayed water when flushed. Plumber arrived on time (a bit early even), explained what was possible that he might uncover (my house was built in 1940 so I knew other problems could be uncovered) and got the work completed in under an hour. Luckily he didn't uncover anything more than the basics - wax ring replacement, flapper/valve replacement. The price for the work done seemed reasonable I suppose, but that's one of those things I'm never sure of. When your toilet is leaking into your basement you don't want to get a bunch of estimates, you just want it fixed so you get the first people available out. Overall completely satisfied with the work and would certainly use Schaal again in the future."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Ames, IA
Yes, a once-a-year tune-up keeps the system efficient and helps it last longer. During the visit, a technician cleans coils, checks electrical connections, and swaps or cleans the filter. Catching small issues now stops bigger, pricier failures later, so that a quick appointment saves money and stress over the life of the unit.
Changing your AC filter every 30 days is necessary to maintain optimal performance and high indoor air quality. Regular filter replacement prevents dust buildup, ensures efficient airflow, and protects the system from stress that could lead to costly repairs. This disciplined maintenance routine not only boosts energy efficiency but also prolongs the lifespan of your unit by safeguarding its critical components.
An HVAC service plan is worth the cost, especially if you forget to schedule maintenance on your own. A service plan locks in yearly (or twice-yearly) visits, allowing a professional to identify small problems early, clean key components, and maintain energy efficiency. Many plans also include minor repairs or priority scheduling, which can pay for themselves if an unexpected issue pops up.
In a pre-season service visit, your technician gives your system a top-to-bottom check before peak season hits. Expect a filter change, thermostat test, condenser-line flush, electrical-connection check, and coil cleaning. They also tighten loose parts and make minor adjustments so the unit fires up without surprises when temperatures swing. That quick tune-up cuts the risk of mid-season breakdowns and keeps energy use in line.
