"Kayla was awesome. I can't recommend this professional enough! Kayla went to great lengths to clear our sewer line and provided instructions for the city repair. Disregard Heat Pump above, as there was no option for plumbing/sewer services."

"I hired them to inspect my central AC in our newly purchased home. Only my wife was home and she was VERY impressed with all of the communication, the workman himself, and the company. My wife was very happy she received multiple texts leading up to the appointment, he was on time, was nice to her, didn't try to perform any unnecessary work, only charged us the $80 we agreed upon before he came, and the detailed summary email we got after the service was completed. We would definitely hire them again."

"I sought a pro on Google who could do an air conditioning tune up and Neil of Mr.Furnace HVAC answered my call. He was about to finish for the evening but said he could pass by around 2130 to have a look at my unit. He was on time, very professional and assessed my issue and had all the materials to fix it right on the spot and at a very reasonable price. I would recommend him to anyone needing a/c work done as he is the boss of his company and as a result has very little, if any overhead so he is able to do the necessary repairs for a very good price."

"Service tech, arrived late Service tech, left parts off the unit when putting it back together. Assumed service would include cleaning filters. Tech found leak in evaporator coil. To replace part under warranty, was quoted $1400. For a covered part. When I asked for a break down of quote, I was not given one. I have asked for over 3 days with no response. Spoke with owner Zeek, who claimed he would get back to me. He has not. The system tune up, is a joke, if you do not have problem with your system, it is of no value. I believe it is just away for the company to find something wrong and rape you on the cost to fix. When called out on how they arrive at a price for repair, company refused to break it down, for parts and materials. Since the part was covered under warranty the bulk of the price is labor. I found a competitor to do the work for just under $700. The same work Acosta was charging me $1400 for. Buyer beware of Acosta."

"We started beginning of August with the Central AC going out ( but only in downstairs of home). Technician came out and diagnosed issue, we needed major component MOTOR. It had to be ordered. He offered us a window exhaust/ portable AC for some very small relief from August heat to use our kitchen area. The motor was supposed to take a month to come in. Several months passed and another technician called to come put the motor in but it now was noticed we also needed the fan that attaches to the motor, another ordered part. Very Long Story short, in DECEMBER, the actual repair was done but guess what, it would not heat like it should it made wobbly noises and I knew it wasn’t right, the heat never came up to temperature as it was not blowing with any pressure. So I called them again. They finally were giving us there best technician Robert, what a life saver! When he finally diagnosed the computer part of system as being issue as well. This was after we replace all the ductwork in our crawl space. We spent a TON of money on this repair but a replacement would have been more and we are so grateful for Robert being hardworking, respectful, knowledgeable, patient, to stick with this repair that until he showed up at our door was an absolute nightmare. Robert you deserve a HUGE raise."

"I had a fantastic experience with Central! My heat stopped working, and they were able to send a technician out the same day. The technician was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the issue before making the repair. The service was awesome, and my heat is now running perfectly. I really appreciate their good prices, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend them for any repairs!"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Charlotte, 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.
