Energy efficient HVAC systems only pay off when they're installed right
The power bill jumped and the AC is the obvious suspect. Here, it runs almost all year. Energy efficient HVAC systems can bring that bill down, but only if they're sized, charged, and ducted correctly.
We look at the house first. Sometimes the fix is a dirty coil or a leaky duct, not a new unit.
A high rating on a bad install saves very little
The efficiency number on the sticker assumes clean coils, tight ducts, and the right refrigerant charge. Miss any of those and the savings shrink.
So we check them before anyone talks about equipment. Then we explain your options in plain language.
Sized for the house, not the old unit
Load calculation. Matched equipment. Correct charge. A performance test when it's done. Trane is what we install most, and financing on new Trane systems is available, with approved credit.
Sometimes the cheaper fix is the right one
A coil cleaning and a sealed duct can drop the bill without new equipment. If replacement is the honest path, a typical Stuart changeout runs about $7,000 to $8,000.

AC running but not cooling, Stuart
The AC ran nonstop and the house never got cold. We found the cause, fixed it, and checked the temperature split and airflow before leaving. A unit that runs all day and never catches up is also running up the power bill.
What happens when you call
Tell us how old the system is and what the bills have been doing. JD usually picks up. If he's under a house or on a roof, someone calls you back. Ask about the diagnostic fee and we'll tell you before anyone drives out.
