FAQ
AC & heat pump questions
Should I request AC service or heat pump service?
Choose the equipment type if you know it. For a heat pump, mention whether the issue occurs in heating mode, cooling mode, or both. If you are unsure which system you have, say so in the request and share any model information you can read without removing covers.
What helps explain a system that runs but does not cool well?
Include the thermostat setting, displayed room temperature, when the problem happens, and whether every room or only part of the property is affected. Mention unusual cycling, sounds, or visible error messages. Those observations guide the assessment without assuming a cause.
Can a heat pump request include a heating problem?
Yes. Heat pump service covers heating and cooling concerns. Explain which mode is affected and what happens when you change the setting, so the request reflects the full problem rather than cooling alone.
Can I discuss replacement rather than a repair?
Yes. We support replacement and installation planning as well as diagnostics and repair. Include the current equipment, approximate age if known, comfort concerns, and project timing. Equipment choices and the proposed scope depend on the property and system assessment.
