Air Conditioning or Heat-pump

service and repair question fill out form

by G&S Mechanical:

With emphasis on repair not replacement


Fill in your Air-conditioning or heat pump questions
and we will answer as soon as possible
(may take a few minutes or days).
I offer this as a public service because so many of you get ripped off each year by companies that can only replace equipment and not repair it.
For Heating or Furnace Questions Please use our Heating Fillout Form
For oil burner questions use this form.
If your indoor section is forming ice or freezes please read this page before filling out form. Inquiries about your indoor section freezing or icing up without a history or remediation will be deleted. If you have water leaking problems please read this page before filling out form. Inquiries about water leaks without a history of remediation will be deleted. In other words don't send a question that says" my unit is forming ice or it is leaking or no cold air is comming out" without a history of what you have done to correct or investigate the problem.
