At P.K. Wadsworth a first step is to conduct a capacity load calculation for your home, which informs us about how much heat your house accumulates through the day and what size air conditioner will work best to keep it cool. Our comfort consultants will know the perfect AC unit to install for your home at an affordable price.

When it comes to cooling equipment, it’s best to act as soon as possible if you think something’s wrong. Issues don’t usually start out as being significant. Often they’re minor, seemingly insignificant but can rapidly snowball into huge AC repair costs—and potential replacement. Watch out for changes in energy costs, odd noises, unusual odors, leaking, and uneven cooling or high humidity in your home. If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, give P.K. Wadsworth a call.

A great way to add air conditioning to a home with a boiler is to install a mini split system. These systems don’t need ducts. They are a ductless system that can be used for both heating and cooling. This is a great advantage; not only will they help cool your home, but they also can act as a backup if your boiler system fails.

Not only do these ductless systems work well with your boiler, they also bring many advantages that other systems can’t provide. They are very energy efficient, especially if you consider the zoning options. They provide much cleaner air to your home than air that has been run through a series of dirty vents.

Covering your AC is not necessary. Sometimes moisture will get trapped inside the cover which is not good for the unit.

I had an excellent experience with every person I interacted with when I got my furnace replaced and AC unit installed. Scheduling was easy, Malcolm offered a great deal, and Skip and Jamal left the area pristine after installation. Truly can’t recommend enough!
