ANSWERS TO YOUR MOST COMMON HVAC & APPLIANCE QUESTIONS

Whether you're a first-time homeowner or a long-time business owner, it’s normal to have questions about your heating, cooling, and appliance systems. At AM Refrigeration LLC, we believe in educating our customers so they can make smart, informed decisions.

​

Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive.

  • Do you provide free estimates
    Yes, we offer free quotes on new system installations and appliance replacements.
  • Which areas do you serve?
    We serve Lake Charles and surrounding areas including Moss Bluff, Sulphur, Carlyss, Westlake, DeQuincy, Ragley, Welsh, Lacassine, and more.
  • Are you available after hours?
    Yes, we operate 24/7 for emergency repairs and service calls
  • What is a ductless mini-split system?
    These systems cool (or heat) individual rooms without the need for ductwork. They’re energy-efficient and ideal for additions, garages, and more.
  • Can I install a ductless system in an older home?
    Absolutely. Ductless ACs are a great fit for homes without existing ductwork or those needing zoned cooling.
  • How do I know if my refrigerator is failing?
    Common signs include loud noises, spoiled food, frost buildup, or visible leaks. We offer same-day repairs in most cases.
  • Is it worth fixing an older appliance?
    In many cases, yes—especially for major units like fridges and washers. We'll always offer honest advice on whether to repair or replace.
  • Do you work on all appliance brands?
    Yes, we service most major residential brands including GE, Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Frigidaire, and more.
  • Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?
    It could be due to low refrigerant, a dirty filter, or a failing compressor. We’ll diagnose and repair the problem quickly.
  • My furnace won’t turn on. What should I do?
    First, check the thermostat and power switch. If it still won’t start, give us a call—we offer 24/7 emergency repairs.
  • Do you offer smart thermostat installation?
    Yes, we install programmable and Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats for better control and energy efficiency.
  • How often should I service my HVAC system?
    We recommend scheduling maintenance twice a year—once in spring for your AC and once in fall for your furnace. This keeps systems running efficiently and helps prevent costly breakdowns.
  • What’s the average lifespan of an HVAC system?
    Most systems last 10–15 years with proper care. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your equipment significantly.
  • Why is one room in my house always hotter or colder?
    Uneven temperatures often signal ductwork issues, poor airflow, or an improperly sized unit. We can inspect your system and recommend solutions.
  • What are the signs I need a new AC or heater?
    If your system is over 12 years old, struggles to keep up, or needs frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective.
