Honest, Reliable HVAC Repairs
Serving Wake Forest For Over 30 Years
Approximately two-thirds of homes in the United States are equipped with air conditioners, but that doesn't necessarily mean that every AC owner knows how to perform proper air conditioning maintenance.
There are countless common air conditioner performance issues, but knowing when to have air conditioning maintenance done is key in separating the serious from the inconsequential. Regardless, there are some things you should be able to check on your own before you call for air conditioning repair services.
Thermostat
Perhaps the most common cause of an air conditioning performance issue
is an improperly set thermostat. Your thermostat can save up to 10% on
your home energy bill, but only if it's functioning properly. Make
sure everyone living in your household knows how to use -- and how not
to use -- the thermostat.
Air Filter
Believe it or not, your air filter should be changed at least once every
month. Most consumers assume that an air filter only needs to be changed
when something is seriously wrong, but replacing a filter that is even
slightly dirty or clogged could lower your AC energy consumption by up
to 15%. If the filter gets too clogged, your AC unit could stop working
altogether.
Equipment Door
Sometimes it's tempting to perform DIY maintenance around the house,
but if you're dealing with HVAC equipment, it's important to know
when to have air conditioning maintenance done by a professional. Equipment
doors are a safety standard, and should be secured by a professional.
Circuit Breaker
If you're a homeowner, this is something you should be familiar with.
Air conditioning units can often trip the circuit breaker and cause some
form of outage, so it's up to you to check that out before you call
an AC repair service.
Outside Unit
If your outdoor unit isn't working, it could be a sign of larger problems.
Before you call your AC repair service, you should definitely check to
see if it's on, but if it's off, call immediately.
Air conditioning maintenance can be simple, but its importance can't be stressed enough. Look for these five things the next time your AC is experiencing issues, and if something seems strange, don't hesitate to call for maintenance.

We are very satisfied with their service. Erick is very easy to deal with. He constantly update us regarding his arrival time. We had a floor leak to which he is supposed to detect the slab leak. At the moment he arrived at our place, my husband already found the leak so we don't need his services. We are willing to pay Erick a dispatch fee but he said don't worry about it. He also gave us some advises about how to deal with our leaks. He is very professional. Will definitely use Dial One Soneshine again. Han C.

Having moved to the OC recently, we were in need of an HVAC electrician. We found Dial One Sonshine online and called to set up an appointment. Dustin arrived on time and proceeded to replace our old thermostat with a new one. Once it was installed, he checked to see that everything (heat, A/C, fan only) worked properly. We were so happy with the results that we signed up for an annual checkup for the furnace (fall) and air conditioner (spring). Count us among the many satisfied customers Chuck R.
John was amazing and totally helped us out. Nicole was curtious when I called to make the appointment and very helpful. Melinda called us 30 minutes before John showed up, letting us know he was on his way. Perfect service! Michelle L
Shawn from Dial One was awesome as always, on time and always a pleasure to work with. If you need service for HVAC, your water heater, call Dial One. Branden B.
Dustin quickly diagnosed the problem, but, unfortunately the solution required an expensive induction motor replacement. Dustin located the correct part and promised to return that day. True to his word, he returned that day and replaced the faulty part. This is the second time I've used Dial One. Previously, Shawn had performed the service. In both cases the service guys were knowledgeable, polite to the point of solicitousness, and were genuinely interested in solving the problem and delivering top notch service. T. H.
Excellent service and very friendly, professional technician named Dustin. I would absolutely refer Dial One Sonshine to service your heating/air system! Thank you Deborah B.
I'll definitely be using Dial One Sonshine for future plumbing, Heating, A/C, and electrical needs in the future, and recommend you consider giving them a chance to earn your business as well! Don S.
