Frequently Asked Questions

Do You Have to Replace the Line Set When Replacing an AC Unit?

We don't always need to replace line sets when installing a new AC unit. We'll assess their condition—checking for damage, compatibility, and wear—to determine if replacement is necessary.

How Important Is Service Line Coverage?

We consider service line coverage extremely important. It protects you from costly repairs—averaging $3,000-$4,000—that basic homeowners insurance doesn't cover. We'd never want you facing these unexpected expenses alone.

What Do They Do During HVAC Maintenance?

During HVAC maintenance, we'll check your line sets, clean condenser coils, test electrical components, treat condensate systems, and label equipment. It's thorough care that prevents breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently.

Should You Replace AC Lines?

We recommend replacing AC lines if you notice kinks, corrosion, or leaks. Don't wait until costly refrigerant loss occurs—proactive replacement saves money long-term and improves system efficiency greatly. Professional inspection is key.
