"I just bought a new home and the motor in my central air system went. The system was pretty old so I decided to get a whole new Hvac system installed. I decided to let F.S do the job. Greg was great. Very knowledgeable and explained everything to me. He was never pushy and didn't force any sales on me. He gave his honest opinion and was always available for any questions or concerns i had."

"Zach was very professional and polite He inspected my entire system and showed me what needed to be done. His pricing was fair and reasonable. After he finished the needed services, he checked every air vent to make sure that the air coming out of them was the correct temperature. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him and will use him for all future HVAC needs."

"After 33 years of solid service, our central air conditioning system failed on one of the hottest nights of the summer. After spending two hot, sticky days in an extremely warm home, we scheduled appointments with several local HVAC installers to see what options they might offer us for a new system. Happily, one of the companies we found through Internet research and ratings on Angie's List and HomeAdvisor was Air Experts. One of their salesmen, Kevin, was at our house the same morning I submitted an online request for a consultation, and he presented my husband and me with several affordable options for our older home. After hearing from the other companies I had contacted, we found that proposal Kevin prepared for us was the most thorough and affordable of all we received. As soon as the final consultation ended, we contacted Kevin and told him that we wanted to proceed with Air Express. He was able to send me all the required paperwork for review and signature that night, and amazingly, he had installers at our house the next morning. The installers worked diligently for many hours to remove our old unit and install a new one; and my husband and I slept quite comfortably last night with our new air conditioner running quietly and efficiently. Thank you, Air Experts!"

"they got to my home when they said they would. the tec check out my ac unit ,he said i needed a relay he replaced it and the unit ran the same as before. he would not reinstall the old relay even though the new one did not make my unit work. he said the unit was low on coolant how did he know that when the unit would not keep running? i am mad at myself for not speeking up enough when the tec was at my home. he did not give me a bill, I still do not know what i was charged. After my service call a manager called me. We spoke for some time and he agreed with me and give me a credit for the service call. A hired them to install my new AC system. Two men came on a Saturday they worked very well togeather they installed the new system and cleaned up after them self. I am very pleased with there work. The new system works great. And the price was inline with other AC companys."

"The technician arrived between the scheduled window time. I wish the time range wasn?t 4 hours but 2 or less. They texted the technician?s name and photo and he called while on the way. Upon arrival he assessed the issue, identified the problem and explained the additional cost to repair the gas leak. He was quick and the repair was well done. Only negative thing was him up selling their annual package service before he started the repair. I wish it?s something he did after job was complete. They are not cheapest but any time there?s a gas leak you want quality repair and this guy knew what he was doing."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Lakewood, NJ

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.
