Keep Your Cool When Things Heat Up: A/C Service Needed ?

With the weather warming up it’s time to think about having your A/C serviced. (It’s going to be 88 degrees on Saturday) Sitting in traffic when temperatures soar without a properly functioning A/C system is the last place you want to be.

If you feel your A/C system is not working as well as you would like, the time to have it looked at is now before it gets too hot. If you're feeling “cool as a cucumber” it’s probably not necessary to give your A/C a second thought.

Often times you just might need to have your system recharged and checked for leaks. However if it’s blowing hot air you're probably going to need a compressor. (ouch) If when switching on the A/C and you hear clicking or a whining noise that’s usually a sure sign there’s a problem with the A/C. Either way having a working air conditioner in Atlanta is a must. If the A/C is not up to keeping you cool it’s now time to have one of our Master Technicians examine the system for problems.
