Terms and Conditions

Install Care covers only the listed checks for the specific unit we installed. One complimentary visit per calendar year per eligible unit. Appointment required. If the unit needs other work, repairs, refrigerant, parts, additional filters beyond the one included with a furnace visit, or service on equipment we did not install, that work is billed separately (service charge, parts, and materials as applicable). Covers every furnace, AC, water heater, boiler and generator we’ve installed since January 1, 2026, and every one we install going forward, for the life of that unit while it stays in the home. The free yearly generator inspection covers a fluids check (oil and coolant levels), a battery test with terminal cleaning, a transfer switch test, a controller/firmware update and error log check, and a gas line and connection leak check. Not a membership, warranty, or insurance product. Subject to scheduling availability.

What we repair

Capacitor, Contactor, Fan, Refrigerant, Thermostat & Condensate

Common no-cool failures: weak capacitor, failed contactor, outdoor fan motor, thermostat faults, dirty filter or iced coil, and condensate drain or pan overflow into the house. Refrigerant: we are honest about recharge vs finding and fixing a leak.

How we work

No-Cool Checklist → Diagnose → Price → Repair or Point to Replace

We check power, thermostat, airflow, outdoor unit, and condensate first. Then we diagnose the failure and give you a price before work. Repair when it makes sense; full install and seasonal replace planning stay on Air Conditioning.

FAQs

Questions We Get on AC Repair Calls

AC Running but Not Cooling? What Usually Fails?

Capacitors, contactors, fan motors, dirty filters, iced coils, thermostats, and refrigerant issues top the list. We run a no-cool checklist in your home anywhere in Battle Creek and the surrounding areas and tell you what failed before we price the fix.

Capacitor vs Refrigerant Leak: How Do You Tell?

A weak capacitor often shows as a hard start or a fan that will not spin. Low refrigerant usually means a leak that needs finding: a recharge alone is not a lasting repair. We test, we do not guess.

Condensate Drain Backing Up Into the House?

Algae and sludge plug the condensate line; the pan fills and overflow hits ceilings and closets. If the pan is wet where it should be dry, call: that is a ceiling leak risk, not a wait-until-October job.

Same-Day No-Cool Repair?

Often yes for common electrical and drain issues we stock. Refrigerant leaks and specialty parts may need a return trip. We stabilize what we can the same day.

When Is a New System Smarter Than Another Repair?

When the outdoor unit is past its years, repair costs stack up, or efficiency and comfort no longer match the house. Full install and seasonal replace planning stay on our Air Conditioning hub.
