Air Conditioning Service

Comprehensive Air Conditioning Service Solutions

When your air conditioning system falters during peak summer temperatures, you need a service provider who understands the urgency and complexity of HVAC repairs. At Harley's Heating and Air Conditioning, we bring over five decades of expertise to every service call, ensuring your home returns to comfortable temperatures quickly and efficiently. Our NATE-certified technicians possess the technical knowledge and practical experience necessary to diagnose and resolve even the most challenging air conditioning problems.

Air conditioning service encompasses far more than simple repairs. We approach each system holistically, examining components ranging from refrigerant levels to electrical connections, ensuring optimal performance throughout your cooling system. Our technicians utilize advanced diagnostic equipment to identify issues before they escalate into major failures, potentially saving homeowners thousands of dollars in unnecessary replacement costs.

Essential Maintenance Programs

Regular air conditioning maintenance represents one of the most cost-effective investments in your home comfort system. Industry studies indicate that properly maintained air conditioning systems operate up to 25% more efficiently than neglected units, translating directly into lower monthly utility bills. Since 1970, Harley’s Heating and Air Conditioning has been family owned and operated, developing maintenance protocols that extend equipment lifespan while maximizing performance.

Our comprehensive maintenance service includes thorough cleaning of evaporator and condenser coils, which can accumulate significant debris over time. Dirty coils force your system to work harder, increasing energy consumption by 20-40% according to Department of Energy statistics. We also inspect and adjust refrigerant levels, as improper charging remains one of the most common causes of premature compressor failure. Additional maintenance tasks include lubricating moving parts, tightening electrical connections, and calibrating thermostats for accurate temperature control.

Advanced Diagnostic Procedures

Modern air conditioning systems incorporate sophisticated technology requiring equally advanced diagnostic approaches. Our technicians employ digital manifold gauges, thermal imaging cameras, and electronic leak detectors to pinpoint problems accurately. This precision diagnostic capability allows us to identify issues ranging from microscopic refrigerant leaks to failing capacitors before they cause system shutdown.

Temperature differential testing across evaporator coils helps determine whether your system delivers appropriate cooling capacity. We measure superheat and subcooling values to ensure refrigerant charge optimization, critical factors affecting both efficiency and equipment longevity. Electrical component testing includes checking capacitor microfarad ratings, measuring compressor amp draws, and verifying proper voltage at all connection points.

We have had a service contract with Harley’s for 18 years and they continue to take excellent care of us. They are always responsive and address problems quickly. They also suggest changes that would keep our geothermal system running well for years to come. Brian has done most of our service work over the years and he is the best.

Excellent service, on the weekend too! Woke up to my house at 58° on a Saturday morning and called Harley’s, they showed up and had my heater working within 3 hours from my call! The communication from Harley’s is very good. I received a breakdown on the phone of fees and when I could expect my service technician, a short time later I received a text telling me my technician was on the way with a photo of who I could expect to see at my door. Mr. Shortridge was very nice and informative telling me what he was seeing and how he was going to fix the issue. Now my heater is up and working and I’m able to move around the house without full winter gear on.

First I’d like to mention whoever called me initially to change my appointment but then figured out how to send someone out last minute is an absolute god send and so appreciated. If I could give Randy 10 stars I would. He was very pleasant and professional! He didn’t make me feel dumb for not knowing something. He explained what he was doing and helped me sign up for their routine visits to prevent the issue from happening again! I can’t thank this team enough! They will be highly recommended by me to everyone I know!

R. Medina

Needed a new motor for my furnace right before the winter storm hit. Called shortly before closing and was still able to get help that day. The new motor was installed and now it is nice and warm. Thank you Brian for the friendly and efficient service!

K. Stark

I happen to know the owners and family. They are the most caring and accommodating bunch of great people! You have a problem…they will help you however they can! They really love what they do and it shows! I would highly recommend them due to the fact that they care about their customers and will help anyone however they can!

R. Brindley

Amazing. Fast service and super reasonable pricing. Best in town! They accommodated us last minute when the heat went out in freezing temperatures. Brian does an amazing job explaining everything and getting at the root cause. Harley’s was a life saver today!

J. Elsener

I was able to get a cancellation and get helped right away. Brian was knowledgeable and got to diagnosing right away and resolved the issue quickly and also found another unknown issue with the system and fixed it. He was very professional and helpful.
