Are You Looking to Repair Your Air Conditioner Before Summer Temps Hit?

March 29, 2023

When it comes to choosing a new air conditioning system, the options can leave you spinning!

 Air conditioners break down because of a multitude of reasons – it could be dust, leaks, dust, poor lubrication, age, just general wear and tear, electrical issues, or a faulty installation... If you have an emergency and need your system repaired immediately, give Hampton's best AC repair experts a call and we’ll work to fix it as quickly as possible. Our air conditioning repair techs are trained to understand your home’s cooling system. We have HVAC repair technicians available to serve you 24/7 with our emergency AC repair service. You can even call us at 5AM! We not only make sure your air conditioning system is up and running again, but we help to stabilize the air conditioner so it achieves maximum performance. 


IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A NEW AIR CONDITIONING INSTALL… 

The first step is to take is to make sure you really need to replace your AC system. A lot of times, people are told or assume, they need to replace their current AC system, but it may not always be the case. Make sure you check to see if replacing your current system is really your best option first.


Now, if it turns out you DO need an AC system replacement, our highly trained installers are the best in the area and all of our employees are Certified. They will do a full analysis to make sure you are saving every penny both on your electric bills and on your install investment. Not all units are built equal or are even the same size, for that matter. If you install an over sized unit, your home will not be dehumidified and will be too cold. On the other hand, if you choose an AC that is too small, it won’t be able to cool your home, and you're back at the drawing board with another installation and even more charges adding up. Our experts make sure you don’t experience such problems by doing a full heat load calculation. Your AC system is the most expensive appliance you have and we want to make sure it lasts 10+ years. That’s why all of our new AC Systems come with a warranty and our money back guarantee.


Why Do I Need a Comprehensive Estimate?


When designing a new heating and cooling system, A-1 American takes the time to determine the proper size, fit, and configuration of your HVAC system. Our experts take into account the following factors:


  • Energy Efficiency
  • Energy Costs
  • Temperature Consistency
  • System Workload and Stability
  • Building Airflow
  • Duct Work Placement


Proper design from the get-go means you'll have less repairs, lower energy bills, and in general, fewer headaches than improperly designed or installed HVAC systems. 


 Before the era of tightly constructed energy efficient homes, it was common to install furnaces and air conditioners that provided substantially more than the necessary capacity in order to compensate for a home’s vast inefficiencies.


We KNOW Summers in Hampton Roads get very hot and humid! 


If you live most anywhere in Virginia, you are very familiar with humidity. The Hampton Roads area is surrounded by literally tons of water on most sides, which produces vast amounts of moisture that the hot air can trap. When the weatherman talks about a heat index, he’s factoring in the humidity in the air to establish how hot it actually feels. Heat indexes in our summers are much higher than in many cities, so when an HVAC or AC Unit fails, it is a top priority--especially for the sick and elderly.  We have offices spread all around area. If your family needs air conditioning repair on the hottest day of the year, A-1 American Services can be there for you very quickly.


A-1 American provides 24-hour, 7 day-a-week emergency air conditioning service to make sure your home is as comfortable as possible.
