I called Affordable Fixes when my AC unit failed during a heatwave. They sent a technician to diagnose and fix the issue the same day. The technician was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend their services.
Ian was on time, confident, and fixed my problem . He was courteous , I couldn't have asked for anything better
On time service. Excellent Troubleshooting & Total professionalism from the office staff to those workers.
Got the same day appointment for my new townhouse central ac checkup. Got quotes for the same service from other companies, and they were : $185, $120. The contractor that arrived. Matt gave me the best deal for $75. Affordable as said and professional!
Would definitely recommend this company for service. My main house A/C n Heating System in house lines froze up and I had water around the basement floor. I called Affordable Fixes and they sent a service worker out (Val). He was knowledgeable and knew exactly the problem after reviewing the issue. So its important to be sure to have maintenance Asap! Val put all the Freon needed. Thank god! All is good and the latest hot temps we have the A/C is a blessing. Thank you again to (Val and Affordable Fixes).
I recently had an air conditioning unit installed by this company and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. The technicians arrived on time, were very professional and efficient, and completed the installation in a timely manner. They were also very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The air conditioning unit itself is fantastic - it cools my home quickly and quietly and has made a huge difference in my comfort level during these hot summer months. I highly recommend this company for air conditioning installation - you won't be disappointed!

Have a professional check your air conditioning system in the spring and your heating system in the fall. Regular tune-ups keep your equipment from breaking down unexpectedly, make it work more efficiently, and extend its lifespan.
Some common warning signs include strange noises (such as banging, grinding, or squeaking), weak airflow, inconsistent temperatures throughout your home, rising energy bills, and the system turning on and off frequently. If you encounter any of these issues, it’s best to contact a professional immediately to prevent more costly repairs.
Most HVAC systems last 15 to 20 years if they are correctly maintained. Factors such as regular maintenance, filter changes, and usage frequency can all impact the device’s lifespan. If your system is more than 15 years old and requires frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new one than to continue making repairs.

We understand that HVAC issues don’t always occur during business hours. Even on weekends, nights, and holidays, our skilled technicians are ready to quickly and effectively restore your comfort.
Changing your air filters every month, installing a programmable thermostat, sealing air leaks around windows and doors, and scheduling regular maintenance are all easy steps you can take to make a significant difference. We also offer upgrades for your system that use less energy and can save you a considerable amount of money each month, while keeping your home comfortable.
The size of the system you need depends on the size of your home, its insulation quality, the number of windows, and the weather in your area. A system that is too large or too small will not function as well and will break down more quickly. Our certified technicians will visit your home at no cost to help you select the best system for your needs.
