1. Warning Signs That Your AC System Needs Repairs

One of the keys to a well-functioning AC system is knowing the warning signs that indicate potential problems. Some of the most common indicators that your AC may need repairs include:

  • Insufficient Cooling: If your AC system struggles to maintain a comfortable temperature or takes longer than usual to cool your home, it might signal an issue that requires professional attention.
  • Strange Noises: Unusual sounds, such as grinding, squealing, or banging, can indicate underlying issues with your AC system’s components and warrant the expertise of our professional technician.
  • High Energy Bills: A sudden increase in energy bills without a clear explanation might suggest that your AC system is working harder than it should due to an underlying problem.
  • Uneven Cooling: Hot or cold spots within your home may point to issues with your AC system’s airflow or its ability to maintain consistent temperature control.

2. Common AC Issues and Their Implications

Understanding the typical issues that can affect an AC system helps you gauge the urgency and necessity of repairs. The following are some common AC issues that our technicians routinely address:

  • Refrigerant Leaks: Leaking refrigerant can lead to impaired cooling performance, decreased efficiency, and potential harm to your AC system’s various components.
  • Dirty Coils: Over time, dust and debris can accumulate on your AC system’s coils, jeopardizing efficiency and performance.
  • Duct Leaks: Issues with your ductwork can hinder airflow and negatively impact your AC system’s ability to cool your home effectively, which in turn raises energy costs as the system works harder to maintain desired temperatures.
  • Faulty Thermostats: Malfunctioning or inaccurately calibrated thermostats can lead to unnecessary strain on your AC system and cause it to underperform.

3. The Value of Professional AC Repair Services

Hiring our professional technicians for your AC repair needs brings several noteworthy benefits:

  • Diagnosing Problems Accurately: Our expert technicians possess the skills and experience needed to accurately diagnose AC system issues and recommend the most effective solutions.
  • Long-Lasting Solutions: Professional repair services ensure that the problems are addressed effectively and efficiently, increasing the likelihood of lasting results and minimizing the chances of recurrent issues.
  • Preventing Further Damage: By identifying and addressing issues early, our professional technicians prevent further damage to your AC system, safeguarding its lifespan and protecting your investment.
  • Safety and Peace of Mind: Our technicians adhere to strict safety protocols and utilize specialized equipment to ensure that repairs are conducted safely and without risking you or your property.

4. Regular AC Maintenance: The Key to Maintenance and Prevention

In addition to recognizing signs of potential issues and enlisting the help of our professional technicians, regular AC maintenance plays a crucial role in preventing AC problems. Consider incorporating the following maintenance practices:

  • Regular Filter Changes: Routinely replacing or cleaning your AC system’s filters helps maintain optimal airflow and prevents dust and debris accumulation on coils.
  • Scheduling Professional Tune-Ups: Annual AC tune-ups with our professional technicians can help detect and address potential issues before they become problematic and costly.
  • Clearing Outdoor Units: Keep the area surrounding your outdoor unit free of debris, leaves, and other obstructions to ensure proper airflow and maintain optimal AC performance.
  • Monitoring Thermostat Settings: Periodically assess and adjust your thermostat settings to maximize temperature control, ease the strain on your AC system, and maintain energy efficiency.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company! From the initial call to trouble shoot our old system to the installation of the new system. Maya was awesome and patient with us and the bank. Stratton, Wilton, and Austin did the removal and install of the systems and they were professional and proficient. I will be recommending this company to everyone and anyone! Thank you for making this less stressful then it needed to be. I'm very grateful for the help and comfort they have given me and my family.

We’ve had issues with our a/c unit freezing up off and on for a month or so. Aden from Keith Key came out and checked our system out. He fixed an issue with the bypass valve and also tuned our fan. Additionally we also replaced our thermostats with new T10’s. He took his time and helped me connect all of them to the WiFi and the app.Aden is very friendly and knowledgeable. I haven’t had an issue with my system since. He was also willing to accept the assistance of our overly helpful shih tzu. Call Keith Key and Aden for any issues with hvac systems, they can get it fixed!

We had a tenant with no heat during the recent 29 degree weather. I called Keith Key Heating and Air before office hours and left my infomation with their answering service. I got a call back from the office promptly at 8:00 a.m. They were able to schedule us for service the same day. The technician arrived at noon, diagnosed the issue and made the repair. The price was quite reasonable. Everyone that we dealt with was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them and will be using them again in the future. Thanks Keith Key Heating & Air!!

We've called on Keith Key Heating and Air twice for help. Both times, they responded quickly, and were able to make repairs quickly. The techs we've dealt with have been friendly, reliable, professional and knowledgeable. And they don't dig in your pocket like some have been known to do. I honestly don't know what more we could ask for. A solid 10 of 10, and we highly recommend.

Keith Key regularly services both our personal home and one of our rental properties! They are good about communicating to us about the condition of the units at the rental property which is such a relief! We have had to call them for 2 emergencies and both times the techs appeared happy to be there helping us despite being on the weekend! 10/10 recommend.
