"Very professional. Came and assessed the issue. Ordered a part. Told me I didn’t have to pay until the job was done. Just for the visit. I told him I’d pay in whole so my son could oversee the repair. I received a call confirming and within 2 days it was repaired!"

"Streamline Services is my go to place for plumbing and hvac repairs. I always have fantastic and speedy service. My last service call was truly exceptional and worth taking the time to review. I knew I needed my water heater replaced, and also a repair to my air conditioning system. I didn't feel pressured, and the technician answered every question I had, and I did not feel rushed into any decision. From the first phone call, to the time of install, I received nothing but great customer service. I won't call anyone else."

"Just had my first service check up on my heating and air conditioning unit. As was the install the scheduling was easy. The technician called prior to arrival. I met him at the door and he explained everything that the service included. Then he went about his business. The report was concise and I am extremely pleased with his professionalism and manner. I highly recommend Maynor for your installation and service needs."

"The Air Experts technician, Allen, arrived right on time for our semi-annual system check appointment. Everything was fine except the filter. No hard sale. No unneeded parts or repairs. Such a relief compared to other companies I dealt with in the past. I am grateful to Air Experts for this level of 5-star customer service."

"We are very satisfied with the exceptional service provided during the installation of our over the stove GE microwave. From start to finish, the installation process was handled with utmost professionalism and efficiency. Duany contacted me with a quote and a time for installation in a very prompt manner. He is a professional worker and well-prepared for the task at hand. He was courteous and respectful throughout the entire process. He was efficient, and completed the installation in a remarkably fast manner without compromising the quality of work. He took extra measures to ensure that any debris or packaging materials were promptly removed. We would confidently recommend his handyman services to anyone in need of appliance installation or repair."

"Great! It turns out we were lucky and only needed a capacitor replaced. The visit was quick to arrange, and they arrived on time. They were very professional the whole time. They have since come again to maintain our A/C units. The scheduling is great, they call to make sure things are on time, and you receive text messages with updates."

"Raymond, did an excellent job for us! We contacted no less than 6 contractors trying to repair or if necessary replace our 2.5 yr old unit. He not only repaired our unit, but discovered it was still under warranty for parts! 4 other contractors said we had only a year warranty when we actually had a 3(THREE) yr warranty. It did take some time for all the parts to come in, but I think that's a nationwide issue of supply chain! Raymond is definitely our HVAC guy from now on! Thank you, Raymond for a job well done!"

"I had been told by a repairman from a company I had a service contract with that my furnace badly needed a cleaning and was quoted a price of $600 for the job as well as an additional $400 to remove a nonworking humidifier. These quotes seemed exorbitant and so I got some estimates, all much lower, and chose Dominion on the basis of reviews. Terrone said my furnace did not need a cleaning, passing up an opportunity to charge me for something I thought I needed, and repaired my humidifier for less than the cost the other company had quoted for merely removing it. He showed me what he was doing, explained how my heating system worked, and charged me a fair price for the job. I would certainly call Dominion again for any HVAC needs."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Cary, NC

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
