Nick VerhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had an extremely poor experience with Automatic Climate. We had a maintenance service agreement plan with them. Our tech who performed the annual maintenance was great and professional, but the other techs and office staff were very frustrating to work with. Our HVAC stopped blowing cold air one week after our maintenance service. When the tech came out, I asked if it could be the blower motor and he said no. He then misdiagnosed the issue as a refrigerant leak and charged us $1500 for refrigerant and a leak test, which did not fix the issue. He also tried to upsell us on duct cleaning, even though our service one week prior had not indicated we had dirty ducts. Since he did not fix the system, we were without HVAC for an additional day and a half until a different tech would be available. The different tech was able to correctly diagnose and fix the issue, which was in fact the blower motor. I tried to call the office to discuss the billing for the work. I called 5 different times, each time having to explain my issue, and was told that someone would call me immediately. No one ever called me back and this went on for over a week and a half. Finally, I called and someone was able to explain the billing. They ended up charging us for the work that was required to fix the issue with no discount for the misdiagnosis, additional days without HVAC, or the MANY issues trying to get in contact with the office. The misdiagnosis was frustrating and mistakes happen, but the office is disorganized and poor at communicating with their customers especially when dealing with an issue. I would not recommend using Automatic Climate for HVAC services. Scot WirthlinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On time, efficient, polite, thorough

He also uptalked the company to the point I was thinking, “Should I apply for a job here? Wow!” Besides fixing what turned out to be nothing, he found a warranty issue that would have been so easy to hide the weekend before the 4th of July. He got it done.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioning Repair in Richmond, VA
1. How often should I have my air conditioner serviced?
We recommend annual maintenance for your air conditioner, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. Regular servicing can prevent many common repair issues and extend the life of your system.
2. What are some signs that my AC needs repair?
Common signs include weak airflow, warm air coming from vents, strange noises, frequent cycling on and off, and unexplained increases in energy bills. If you notice any of these, it's time to call for professional repair.
3. How long does an air conditioning repair typically take?
Most repairs can be completed within a few hours. However, the exact time depends on the issue's complexity and parts availability. We always strive to complete repairs as quickly and efficiently as possible.
4. Can I perform AC repairs myself?
While there are some minor maintenance tasks you can do yourself, like changing filters, most AC repairs require professional expertise. DIY repairs can be dangerous and may void your warranty.
5. How can I prevent the need for frequent AC repairs?
Regular maintenance, changing filters monthly, keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris, and avoiding overworking your system can all help prevent frequent repairs. Annual professional tune-ups are also crucial.
6. What types of air conditioners do you repair?
We repair all types of air conditioning systems, including central AC units, ductless mini-splits, window units, and heat pumps. Our technicians are trained to work on all major brands and models.
7. Is it better to repair or replace my air conditioner?
This depends on factors like the age of your unit, repair frequency, and energy efficiency. Generally, if your AC is over 10 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run.
8. Do you offer emergency AC repair services?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency AC repair services in Richmond, VA. We understand that AC problems don't always happen during business hours, especially during hot summer nights.
9. How long should my air conditioner last?
With proper maintenance, most air conditioning systems can last 15-20 years. However, factors like usage, local climate, and regular maintenance can affect this lifespan.
10. Will a bigger AC unit cool my home better?
Not necessarily. An oversized unit can lead to short cycling, reduced efficiency, and inadequate dehumidification. We can help you determine the right size AC for your Richmond home.
11. How often should I change my AC filter?
For most homes, changing the filter every 1-3 months is recommended. However, this can vary based on factors like pet ownership, allergies, and local air quality. We can provide personalized recommendations.
12. Can poor AC maintenance affect my indoor air quality?
Yes, neglected AC maintenance can lead to poor indoor air quality. Regular cleaning and filter changes help remove pollutants and allergens, ensuring healthier air circulation in your Richmond home.
