Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my air conditioning system be serviced?
Air conditioning systems should be serviced at least once a year, ideally before summer begins. Seasonal maintenance ensures efficient operation, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and extends system lifespan. Regular tune-ups also improve indoor comfort and air quality, keeping systems reliable throughout the cooling season.
What are the signs my AC needs repair?
Common warning signs include weak airflow, unusual noises, warm air blowing from vents, leaking water, or rising energy bills. If your AC struggles to keep up with demand, professional repair is recommended. Addressing issues early prevents larger breakdowns and ensures consistent cooling performance throughout the summer.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Most residential installations can be completed within one to two days, depending on system type and property requirements. Commercial installations or complex systems may take longer. Professional technicians provide accurate timelines during consultation, ensuring minimal disruption while delivering precise, reliable installation for every project.
Can seasonal tune-ups really reduce energy bills?
Yes. Seasonal tune-ups keep systems clean, calibrated, and operating efficiently. Reduced strain on components lowers energy consumption, resulting in noticeable savings on utility bills. Professional maintenance ensures systems don’t overwork, extending equipment life while keeping cooling affordable and dependable throughout the summer months.
Should I repair or replace my old AC system?
The decision depends on system age, repair history, and efficiency. If your AC is over 12–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or no longer cools effectively, replacement may be the smarter choice. Professional assessments help determine whether repair or replacement offers the best long-term value.
Are ductless mini-splits as effective as central air?
Yes. Ductless mini-splits provide efficient, targeted cooling without the need for ductwork. They are ideal for additions, older homes, or specific zones. While central air is best for whole-home comfort, mini-splits deliver flexibility, energy savings, and reliable performance where traditional systems may not be practical.
How do I improve indoor air quality with my AC system?
Improving indoor air quality starts with regular maintenance. Cleaning filters, coils, and ducts prevents dust and allergens from circulating. Adding advanced filtration systems or air purifiers further enhances results. Professional tune-ups ensure your AC supports fresher, healthier air in residential and commercial environments.
What warranty comes with a new air conditioning system?
Most new systems include manufacturer warranties that cover major parts, and contractors often provide labor warranties for added protection. Warranty coverage varies by brand and model, so details should be confirmed during installation. Professional installation ensures warranty terms are met, protecting your investment long-term.

Chri M.
I can’t say enough good things about the RP Team! Lost heat during one of the coldest weeks in January and they came over late Friday night after hours to take a look at my mini split system. The repair process was more lengthy (due to manufacturing warranties) than we’d like. Not only did they help me throughout, they went out of their way to call the various suppliers and Fujitsu themselves to expedite the process and ensure I was getting the best possible fix. They were extremely communicative, knowledgeable, and considerate. Anyone that needs HVAC and plumbing services should be calling them!! Thank you both!
