Maine summers are short, but the humid weeks are real, and an air conditioner that is too large or too small makes them worse. An oversized system cools quickly, shuts off, and leaves the air damp. An undersized one runs all afternoon and never catches up.
We start with the house: ductwork condition, insulation, window exposure, and how you live in it. Then we install or repair a system that fits, and service it so it is ready when the first hot week arrives.
Signs it is time to call
- Air from the vents that is only mildly cool
- Ice on the indoor coil or refrigerant lines
- Water leaking near the indoor unit
- Upstairs rooms that stay warm no matter the setting
- A system that runs constantly and still feels humid indoors
What the work covers
- Cooling load review before installation
- Condenser and air handler or coil installation
- Refrigerant circuit diagnosis and repair
- Condensate drain and pan cleaning
- Duct and airflow evaluation
- Spring startup and maintenance visits

Central air or a heat pump
If you are replacing both heating and cooling, a ducted heat pump can do both jobs with one outdoor unit. If your furnace is in good shape, a traditional air conditioner paired with it can be a simpler path. We lay out both so the decision is yours.
