"I'm not sure what happened, but he said the job to remove old linoleum and tile a 30 sq. ft. bathroom floor was harder than he expected. It's a vacant rental, so I was not there to watch. He got paid more than the bid, and I have to finish the job, clean up, and deal with hallway carpet damage."

"Benchmark AC was excellent to work with. Their prices were competitive with other AC companies for a Lennox system. They are very knowledgeable and did great work. While they were installing my new unit they even noticed a kinked suction line on my second AC unit (my home warranty company previously sent out a horrible AC company and they kinked the suction line while installing a new coil). Luckily Benchmark caught that before damage was done to my second AC Unit. Because of there professionalism and great work, I was able to get my home warranty company to agree to let them do the fix for the bent suction line. Once again, they did a great job! I highly recommend Benchmark AC and they will be the only AC company I use from now on!"

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

Yes, a once-a-year tune-up keeps the system efficient and helps it last longer. During the visit, a technician cleans coils, checks electrical connections, and swaps or cleans the filter. Catching small issues now stops bigger, pricier failures later, so that a quick appointment saves money and stress over the life of the unit.

Changing your AC filter every 30 days is necessary to maintain optimal performance and high indoor air quality. Regular filter replacement prevents dust buildup, ensures efficient airflow, and protects the system from stress that could lead to costly repairs. This disciplined maintenance routine not only boosts energy efficiency but also prolongs the lifespan of your unit by safeguarding its critical components.

An HVAC service plan is worth the cost, especially if you forget to schedule maintenance on your own. A service plan locks in yearly (or twice-yearly) visits, allowing a professional to identify small problems early, clean key components, and maintain energy efficiency. Many plans also include minor repairs or priority scheduling, which can pay for themselves if an unexpected issue pops up.

In a pre-season service visit, your technician gives your system a top-to-bottom check before peak season hits. Expect a filter change, thermostat test, condenser-line flush, electrical-connection check, and coil cleaning. They also tighten loose parts and make minor adjustments so the unit fires up without surprises when temperatures swing. That quick tune-up cuts the risk of mid-season breakdowns and keeps energy use in line.
