AC Installation: Bringing Top-Tier Cooling to You
When it's time for a new air conditioning system, whether for new construction or a complete replacement, Hellgate Plumbing, Heating and Cooling exclusively installs high-performance Rheem AC systems. Rheem is a widely recognized leader in the HVAC industry, known for its commitment to:
list 1
Exceptional Energy Efficiency
Rheem systems are engineered with advanced technology to achieve high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings, meaning they consume less energy to provide superior cooling, translating into significant savings on your utility bills.
Unwavering Reliability and Durability
Built with high-quality components and subjected to rigorous testing, Rheem units are designed for long-lasting performance and fewer breakdowns, offering peace of mind for years to come.
Innovative Features
Many Rheem systems include cutting-edge features like variable-speed compressors for precise temperature control, quieter operation, enhanced dehumidification, and smart home compatibility (such as EcoNet®) for remote management.
Environmental Responsibility
Rheem utilizes eco-friendly refrigerants, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
Blowing Warm Air
This is a clear sign of a major problem. If your AC is running but the air coming from the vents isn't cool, it could be due to a refrigerant leak, compressor failure, or other severe issues that often warrant replacement.
Strange Noises or Odors
Loud grinding, banging, squealing, or persistent burning/musty smells are indicators of serious internal problems that can be dangerous or lead to complete system failure.
Uses R-22 Refrigerant (Freon)
If your unit uses R-22 refrigerant, which has been phased out due to environmental concerns, obtaining this refrigerant for repairs is becoming increasingly expensive and difficult. Replacing the unit with a modern, environmentally friendly system that uses R-410A is a wise long-term decision.
Excessive Humidity Indoors
A properly functioning AC system also helps dehumidify your home. If your house feels sticky and humid even when the AC is running, it may no longer be effectively managing moisture levels.
Our team will help you select the perfect Rheem model for your specific needs, ensuring it's properly sized and installed for optimal performance and efficiency.
