"Terrific experience. Scheduling was easy. My technician, Guy, gave me a call ahead of time, hit the time he said he'd be here and was courteous and efficient. I ran a large mechanical contracting business for years so understand this business. Guy ran through his checks on what is a fairly complex home system. He pointed out problems that were minor, major, or had the potential to be major. We discussed options and timing. Since our system is old, it will be difficult to repair some of the parts and pieces while others would be fairly standard. We may want to look at a new system this summer to avoid a major problem during a future heating season. I will definitely be talking to Sila."

"The first really cold night of this season we had our grandchildren for a sleepover. When we turned our heat on we found that we had issues with our heating system. We called Kingdom Cooling. Gerry came over right away even though it was after hours on the weekend. He found the issue in a Very timely manner. The damage was extensive and required many hours to repair. Gerry Worked tirelessly until it was complete. The price for the repair was very reasonable and the service was top caliber. I highly recommend Kingdom Cooling for all heating system needs. I am grateful for the great service and professionalism received from Gerry!"

"We have been a Palmer customer for 6 years. The front office and the technicians has always been great to work with. We have been using their AC and Heating Service Plan and on automatic oil and propane fill for years and we have never had an issue. My most recent experience was today for the AC Service Plan. The technician (David) was very polite, experienced, knowledgeable and respectful of our time and home. It’s always a great experience to have maintenance conducted in you home and have the technicians give you expert advice on your heating and AC system. Our AC system is well over 25 years old and still running strong thanks to Palmer. I continue to be impressed with Palmer and will remain a customer for the foreseeable future!"

"The repair went well. Our HVAC system would not turn on so Mike showed up earlier than scheduled (I was called first for the ok) and got right to business. He found the problem- a blow fuse in the unit itself. Once he replaced the fuse the system still would not turn on, but the circuit board that runs the system did light up. he checked out the electrical to make sure there was not a short that caused the problem. It seemed baffling as to the issue so he went outside and checked to see if the electrical issue was at the compressor. Sure enough an animal had chewed thru some of the wiring on the compressor. He spliced the wires together and the system started up, I applaud him for not assuming that the board was faulty and just replacing the board. I would say that Mike did an A+ job troubleshooting to determine what the issue was. The only problem was the cost, and I suppose I should have asked more questions. I asked how much to come out and was told $99 to troubleshoot, but I never asked what other charges apply. Apparently the charge is $99 just to show up and troubleshoot the issue, then $220 per hour is added to that for Mike's time there. I felt $319 was a little steep, but perhaps that is the going rate. I want to emphasize that Mike did an excellent job of solving the issue."

"Outstanding service. The AMT Comfort Air team installed my heat pump unit (new 2.5 ton split electric) about 2 months ago and it has been working flawlessly. Upon submitting the request for service, S Nguyen contacted me and scheduled a visit to my home to quote the job. He explained me in detail how he would carry out the job. As a ?green? contractor, Steve made sure I understood the benefits (both to the environment & my pocket) of having a high efficiency unit, and made me aware of the different rebates available for these types of system. Their installation work was of utmost quality, and they took care of disposing of the old equipment."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Salem, NH

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.
