"My air conditioner died on one of the hottest weeks of summer. In the morning I called JRB and within two hours I had Jesse at my house working to fix things. It wound up being a fairly complicated problem that required several days of work. The woman who answered the phone each time I had to call back was lovely and answered the phone promptly each time. Jesse was patient about each return visit and when he explained to problems and the steps he was taking to mitigate them he didn't overly simplify things or act like I wouldn't understand him (a rarity when it comes to technicians walking to women). In all, I found Jesse to be extremely knowledgeable and professional, and JRB to be a great service provider. A+, would absolutely hire them again, definitely recommend them to everyone."

"Woke up on the coldest day of winter (so far) to find our furnace had stopped working overnight. called John at about 8:30 a.m., and he had a team of technicians at our home within about two hours. He even stopped out himself to check in, drop off some parts, and talk to me about my long-term needs for a new furnace and A/C unit. The team worked fast, and the charge for the work was even less than they estimated when they'd arrived. This is the second time we've called John's folks for heating or cooling service, and we'll absolutely use and recommend them again."

"Brickhaas Plumbing was extremely helpful and put up with a lot of questions throughout the process of running a new gas service line for my new house. The owner was very patient with me even when paperwork needed resubmitted to the gas company due to mishandling on their end. I would absolutely recommend Brickhaas to friends and family."

"We have the Reliable Homeworks coverage from Peoples, so I placed a call to their emergency number this morning, Sunday, July 24th, at approximately 10 am. They told me a rep from Wade Heating and Cooling would be giving me a call. At just past Noon I got a call from one of their techs in response to my request for service. He said that he was nearby and would be by my house in approximately a half hour. He did arrive in that time. I had explained to him what had happened when my A/C stopped working. He thought he knew what the issue was before he even got here. As soon as he arrived he got to work. Long story short, he had our A/C up and running in a half hour, by 1:00 pm, an hour after he called me back. Now that's what I call service. Wonderful cool air is coming out of my vents again and cooling my house back down, couldn't be happier. The tech was very professional and friendly, and obviously knew his job well."

"after meeting with owner and explaining what I wanted, selecting date and time we discussed cost. Then scheduled date and time. The male tech was prompt, polite and had a list of what was suppose to done. When done he checked his list and then asked if I was satisfied. And one step further asked if there was anything else that he could do. I am thoroughly satisfied with this company and the tech that actually did my apartment. The tech worked without a break or music in his ears. clean cut and polite. Thank you"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
