From the blog
When summer temperatures climb across the Treasure Valley, a working air conditioner stops being a convenience and starts being a necessity. One of the most common reasons an AC loses its cooling power is a refrigerant problem. Understanding what refrigerant does — and what happens when it leaks — can help you recognize trouble early and know when to call a pro.

Mason was called by my parents to service the HVAC & a broken water pipe! As always he was helpful, very professional, & came quickly! He actually came out a few weeks ago to service my HVAC & its running like a champ still! Cant say enough good things about this company and the guys that put in the work!
These three young men, Mason, Kyle, and Koda were great workers and very persistent until they finished the job. I would definitely recommend them and your company!
Awesome guys. They replaced the water heater. Thx James & Reed
Mason and Dante They did excellent service and explained everything to me.

Refrigerant is the chemical compound that makes cooling possible. It circulates through a closed loop of copper coils, absorbing heat from the air inside your home and releasing it outside. Without the right amount of refrigerant at the right pressure, your AC cannot transfer heat — no matter how hard it runs.
It depends on your home's size and the system you choose. We measure, size it right, and give you a flat-rate quote with no pressure.
Once a year, ideally in spring, keeps it efficient and catches small problems before summer.
In most cases yes. We stock common parts right on the truck.
