As summer approaches in Snohomish County, air conditioning is more than a modern convenience. Our comfort, health, and well-being are vital, especially during sweltering summer. This comprehensive guide will delve deep into the ABCs of air conditioning: installation, maintenance, and repair. By the time you’re through, you’ll be well-equipped with a fundamental understanding of the cooling systems that keep us comfortable.
A is for Air Conditioning Installation
Selecting the appropriate air conditioning system is crucial. Size, capacity, energy efficiency, and type (central, ductless, or portable) are key factors that must be considered based on your specific needs and space requirements.
Installation can be challenging, and while DIY may seem like a cost-effective option, opting for a professional service is generally recommended. A professional installation ensures the job is done correctly and safely, providing you with the best performance and longevity from your unit.
B is for Air Conditioning Maintenance
Regular maintenance is the key to extending the life of your air conditioner. This includes cleaning and replacing filters, checking for leaks, and ensuring the system runs efficiently.
To keep your unit running smoothly, performing seasonal maintenance is essential. Consider a professional tune-up in the spring to prepare for heavy summer use. Then, protect your unit from winter weather in the fall with a quality cover.
C is for Air Conditioning Repair
If your air conditioner is not cooling as effectively as it once did, making strange noises, or producing unpleasant odors, it might be time for a repair. However, don’t ignore these signs; they could lead to more significant issues if left untreated.
While homeowners can tackle minor issues like replacing a filter or resetting a circuit breaker, more complex problems, such as refrigerant leaks or compressor failures, should be left to trained professionals.

I highly recommend Bill from Cascade Energy Services. He did what other HVAC companies in the area weren't able to do. Instead of trying to sell me into buying a new HVAC unit (which is what I initially contacted him for), he found me a replacement part for my existing high-end Trane furnace, ordered it on my behalf for local pickup just down the road from my house. This saved me $$ by not having to replace my entire furnace. I had paid another HVAC company to come out and try to find the replacement part but they couldn't do it. Bill did it over phone / email and didn't charge me anything. I simply paid for the part (at wholesale cost) that he ordered, and once I plugged in the new part (pressure switch), my furnace was up and running like normal. I'd trust Bill on the any HVAC matters. He is very knowledgeable and cares about doing the right thing for the customer. I now have a trusted go-to source for future heating and cooling needs!
