Air Conditioning Blair Athol

Low refrigerant, a failing compressor or a choked filter all show up the same way: warm air from the vents. We find the cause and quote the repair.

A choked condensate line or an iced-up coil sends water down an inside wall, and brick cottages do not forgive moisture. We clear the line and stop the drip. Details on leaking water here.

Dead units usually trace back to power, a thermostat or a failed control board. We test each in turn and tell you straight what it will cost. Read more on not turning on.

A musty or burnt smell from the vents is never normal and never worth ignoring. Filters, mould in the drain pan or wiring can each be the culprit. Our air conditioner smell page explains.

Two same-size units can differ sharply in efficiency, and the star rating on the label tells you which. We quote efficient options in every price bracket. The saving compounds every summer.

A system running flat out through a 40-degree week needs correct sizing and clean filters to keep up. An undersized unit never stops struggling. We size for the worst day, not the average one.

Ducted systems with zoning let you cool the rooms you are using instead of the whole house. On older single-storey brick homes, that difference is significant. We set zones up around how you live.

Evaporative cooling uses a fan and water rather than a compressor, so it costs far less to run in dry conditions. Pads need seasonal servicing to stay efficient, which is work we do every spring.
