"Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with. He impressed me with his courtesy, expertise and professionalism. He emailed me with a detailed list of the items that he was going to inspect and maintain in my heat pump and attic unit. He also called to let me know that he was going to be a little late. He educated me about how a heat pump works. He took pictures of everything he did and showed me the various components of the system. He pointed to some mold accumulating in the attic unit which he sprayed in order to kill. He suggested that I have an ultraviolet light installed to kill any mold spores, which I agreed to (he also showed me a picture of a customer's installation of one). He pointed out some dust in the attic unit and suggested I have a filter installed which would stop any dust and allergens reaching the ducts, to which I also agreed. This removes the need to have any ceiling filters. The annual maintenance contract I signed saves on labor and parts costs. "

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