My central air is not cooling; I've had freon put in the unit and I was told I may need to replace my entire unit; I would like an estimate.

We have a washer that won't spin without vibrating and the basket hitting the side of the washer and we'd like to get it repaired.

Did you know that your home air conditioning system could be taking up as much as 60% of your energy bills? Most home owners pay scant attention while buying a residential air conditioner, with the result that they end up with a home AC system that's either too big or too small for their needs. Either way, this leads to inflated energy bills. There are several factors that go into the selection of a proper home air conditioning system. Consider the size of the house, the weather in the area you live in etc.
The proper size of house air conditioning system is critical to achieve high energy efficiency. A home air conditioner that is too large for a room will operate in brief cooling cycles whenever the desired temperature is reached. Not only does this mean energy wastage, because the system keeps switching on and off when the desired temperature is reached, but these shorter cycles fail to remove moisture, increasing humidity and the potential for mold growth. A residential air conditioner that's too small on the other hand, won't be able to coo the room effectively during peak season, effectively, thereby defeating the purpose of installing a home AC. Plus, the system is forced to run continuously to meet the home's cooling needs, thereby inflating your energy bills. Look for a home air conditioner with a higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). These are more expensive, but you'll be able to make up the costs in operating savings.
If looking for a home air conditioning system that offers maximum operating efficiency seems confusing, consult a professional residential air conditioning contractor. He will not only be able to advise you about the right home air conditioner for your house, but will also help with residential HVAC design and installation. You can also rely on him for installation of residential central air conditioners, HVAC installation, HVAC ducting and HVAC maintenance.
