Air Conditioner Maintenance to Get Ready for Summer

Spring is in the air, so that means it’s time to make sure your AC is ready to take on the warm weather ahead. From scheduling air conditioner maintenance to upgrading your thermostat, there are a number of tasks you can do to get your AC ready!

Schedule Air Conditioner Maintenance
The best way to get your AC ready for warmer weather is to schedule a routine tune-up. Maintenance performed by a certified cooling technician can help ensure your system operates efficiently and effectively all summer long. It can also help prevent common problems from turning into expensive repairs.

Clean Around Outdoor Unit
Central air conditioners have an outdoor unit that house the compressor and its performance can be significantly affected by debris that collects over time. To help improve the system’s cooling performance—make sure to clear any branches or leaves that have built-up. Be sure to check around the condenser throughout the spring and summer for debris—especially after storms.

Upgrade Thermostat
Another way to maximize AC performance is to upgrade to a programmable thermostat. Unlike older thermostats, a programmable option allows you to easily maintain the desired temperature consistently and evenly throughout your home. Programmable thermostats can also be set to automatically adjust the temperature, so you can focus on relaxing this summer without having to constantly make adjustments.

Contact us today to schedule an AC appointment and be sure to check out our wide range of programmable thermostats to find out which one is best for you!

I highly recommend Fahrhall! We had such a great experience from start to finish. Our furnace died Friday night. We had a different company come out to check it out, and it was going to be an... expensive repair for an old furnace so we decided to just get a new one. I filled out a form to be contacted for a quote Sunday morning. Tony O’Beid called me that afternoon and came over to give us quote. We decided to go ahead with it, so we got a call first thing Monday morning to arrange installation for Tuesday. Matt came out to do the installation, and he was prompt, professional and did a great job! Highly, highly recommend this company!read more

My furnace recently died, so I called Farhhall. They immediately sent out a technician to take a look at it. After further inspection it was determined that I needed a new furnace so their sales... representative, Tony O'Beid, came out to my house about 20 minutes later to go over everything with me. He did a great job and got me set up with everything I needed. He reached out to his contacts at the office who immediately contacted me to set up an appointment for installation. Matt and Billy came over on the scheduled day and had everything installed and ready to go within hours. Great experience and I would definitely go through Farhhall again.read more

Very pleased with the entire experience of dealing with Fahrhall. We finally decided to "bite the bullet" and replace our 20+ year-old air conditioner. After contacting Fahrhall, the consultant,... Tony, came out the next day to see what type of unit would best meet our needs. We had an appointment for installation the very next day (today). The technician, Matt, and a Grade 12 co-op student, Billy, were efficient, hardworking and professional, and left the job site clean and tidy. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and not only gave us valuable tips on the maintenance of our unit, but pointed out some potential concerns with our water heater. I would highly recommend Matt and Billy and Fahrhall for your heating and cooling needs.read more

I've reached Fahrhall through the business's partnership with Costco for replacement of my 17 year old home comfort system with that of Lennox. Promptly I got the response from its advisor, Mr Tony... O'Beid who was very responsive, cordial, and understanding. He knew what I needed and we could conclude the agreement in minutes and the installation was scheduled immediately, then it came on time at my anxious of possible delay; it made my day indeed. I hereby would like to say thank you again and again and again to the installation team, Mr Denis and his son Mr. Ryan who poured tons of sweat onto the installation work at the weather heath at 93 F. They know their work very well and carried it out in a neat, and precise way. I would like to recommend Fahrhall to anyone who are in need of such professionally superb service.read more

I recently had Fahrhall install a new a/c to replace my old unit that unexpectedly quit working. They are very well coordinated between service, sales & scheduling, and everyone I dealt with was... pleasant, professional and informative. Joe explained the repair that would be required, and the alternative of a new unit, answering all my questions, without any pressure either way. Due to the high temperatures being forecasted, I was concerned about how soon the work could be done; however, Tony Obeid was able to come the same morning with the contract for the new that I chose, and shortly after he left I received a call giving me an install date 2 days later. The installers showed up on time, and left the work areas neat.read more

Today is 04.03.23 and I am somewhat annoyed that you cannot write a fresh review for a service after the last review in 2020 & 2019! This review is for today when Kyle Lajoy, Fahrhall's Tech came out... to check the air condition for whenever the warm weather finally gets here. Kyle was so helpful, courteous, friendly, polite, informative and did an excellent job. He was a pleasure to have in our home. I would HIGHLY and have HIGHLY recommended Fahrhall to anyone.Joe R. came into our home on 11.13.19 to service our heater and our gas fireplace and he was exceptional. Joe was friendly, informative, polite and did a thorough job and did not leave any mess. It was a pleasure to have him in our home and Fahrhall is an excellent company to do business with and we have recommended them to numerous people because we believe they are the best around! I have no idea why that post did not actually post but i would like to add to it. Yesterday, May 13, 2020, Paul came to our home to service our central air. Paul was so courteous, helpful, friendly and explained the problem in words we could explain. He took his time to go over the problem and the solution and thanked us for being a long time Fahrhall customer. I was extremely pleased with how this situation was handled and very impressed with Paul. I believe, and have told others, Fahrhall is the best!!!read more

My husband has dementia and was just so... upset with no heat.I called Fahrhall and they quickly sent out a rep from Leamington. His name was Tony Coppola.I have never had such an informative, caring customer service rep from any company.He explained things very clearly, answered my questions patiently and talked on the phone to my son as I requested.He continually kept in touch via email or texts. He spoke to my insurance representative as I requested and got us approved for a great high efficiency furnace! Would highly recommend Tony for all your questions or concerns regarding Fahrhall products and services!!Tony got Fahrhall installers Denis and Ryan to come out the very next morning with our new unit.They did an amazing job as well.They were very friendly and efficient and when finished explained our new furnace filter and features and new thermostat.I cannot say enough great things about this company and the people we dealt with.Thanks for everythingFrom a very satisfied and happy customer!!read more

I recently had a tankless water unit installed and I was very impressed by Dennis, the technician doing the installation. He and his assistant finished the job the same day(not easy considering there... was quite a bit of work to be done in the attic as well as the crawl space) and I have been enjoying my water heater ever since. He also noticed that my furnace had some issues and suggested that I have it inspected. Thanks to his suggestion, I had the furnace inspected by another technician from Fahrhall, Glen, and it is now running properly thanks to him! I would definitely recommend Fahrhall to anyone needing their services.read more
