Climate matters

HVAC needs change with your climate

Hot-humid

Long cooling seasons and high humidity. Correct sizing, duct sealing and clean condensate drains matter as much as raw cooling power.

Alabama · Florida · Georgia · Louisiana

Hot-dry

Extreme dry heat, attic and rooftop equipment, and dust. Capacitors, coils and evaporative coolers need regular attention.

Arizona · Nevada · New Mexico

Mixed

Real heating and cooling seasons. Heat pumps and dual-fuel systems are popular, and both spring and fall maintenance pay off.

Arkansas · California · Delaware · Kansas

Cold

Heating dominates. Furnace and boiler reliability, combustion safety and clear vents are the priorities, with summer AC still needed.

Colorado · Connecticut · Idaho · Illinois

TroubleshootingAC Blowing Warm Air? 7 Causes and What to Check FirstCheck the thermostat is set to Cool, replace a dirty filter, and confirm the outdoor unit is running. If the outdoor fan is still, the coil is frozen, or the breaker trips, turn the system off and call a technician: those point to a capacitor, contactor, refrigerant leak or motor failure.TroubleshootingWhy Is My AC Frozen? Ice on the Line or Coil ExplainedAC coils freeze when too little warm air passes over them (dirty filter, closed vents, weak blower) or the refrigerant charge is low from a leak. Turn cooling off, run the fan to thaw, replace the filter, and call a tech if it freezes again.TroubleshootingAC Won't Turn On: A Step-by-Step ChecklistWhen the AC won't start at all, check the thermostat display, the breaker, the outdoor disconnect, the furnace or air handler switch, and the condensate float switch. A blank thermostat often means a tripped float switch or a blown 3-amp fuse on the control board.TroubleshootingWater Dripping From the Ceiling Under Your ACTurn the AC off to stop more water, put a bucket under the drip, and check the secondary drain pan. Most ceiling leaks under an attic air handler come from a clogged condensate drain, a cracked pan or a missing float switch.Buying guidesRepair or Replace Your AC? A Decision GuideReplace when the system is past about 12–15 years, uses R-22 and has a leak, or a repair costs more than about a third of a new system. Repair when it's under 10 years old and the failure is a single part like a capacitor, contactor or fan motor.Buying guidesHeat Pump vs. Gas Furnace in NevadaIn Las Vegas, a heat pump usually wins: winters are mild and it replaces the AC too. In Reno, Sparks and Carson City, a cold-climate heat pump or a dual-fuel system (heat pump plus gas furnace) balances efficiency and comfort on the coldest nights.
