AC Service Reviews: Stories From Our Customers
Real stories from real customers.
Curious what it’s like to work with Five Star Home Services for AC services? Don’t just take our word for it—hear from real customers who’ve experienced our fast, friendly, and professional service firsthand. Their stories say it all.
“My service man, Will, showed up when scheduled and completed a thorough maintenance check on my AC unit. Will wore protective shoe covers while in the house after each time he went outside. When finished, Will explained everything he completed and gave suggestions to improve my AC usage. A job well done in just over an hour.”
— Devon Stokes
Will Jeffreys, HVAC Safety Inspection
“Very professional and friendly. Technician did what he was here to do (AC) inspection, thankfully found nothing wrong and did not try to invent a problem which other companies have tried to do in the past. Five Star is an employee centric company and every employee I’ve asked has had nothing but good things to say about the company.”
— Ben Deeter
Mike Hoffer, HVAC Safety Inspection
“Cameron was very nice and efficient. Adam Elkins was another person that helped me get my mom’s A/C replaced after it was stolen. He was extremely patient and extremely helpful and understanding! Would HIGHLY recommend. They are not pushy salesman, give you options and let you decide.”

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Hot to Fix It
Postponing air conditioner service might seem harmless—until it’s 90° outside and your system gives out. Small issues quickly turn into major breakdowns that cost more, take longer to fix, and leave your home uncomfortable when you need it most.
Here’s what can happen when you wait:
- Total system failure during a heatwave
- Emergency repair costs or full replacement
- Long wait times during peak season
- Sky-high energy bills from an inefficient AC
- Poor air quality and mold from clogged filters or drainage issues

Frequently Asked Air Conditioner Questions
You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers!
To keep your air conditioner running efficiently, you should change your AC air filter every 1-3 months. Homes with pets or allergy sufferers may need more frequent changes to maintain optimal air quality.
The size of air conditioner you need for your home depends on the square footage, the insulation, and the climate. Our professional air conditioner technician can perform a load calculation to ensure you get the perfect fit AC for your home. Remember, a bigger AC isn’t always better! In fact, an oversized air conditioner can lead to inefficiency and frequent air conditioner repairs!
There are several reasons why your air conditioner might not be cooling effectively, including a dirty AC filter, low AC refrigerant levels, thermostat issues, or problems with the compressor. If your air conditioner can’t keep up, don’t stress—just call Five Star!
Here’s how to get the most out of your air conditioner while saving energy:
- Regularly replace AC’s air filters.
- Schedule routine air conditioner maintenance.
- Seal air leaks around windows and doors.
- Program your thermostat for AC efficiency.
- Upgrade to an energy-efficient AC model when it’s time for an air conditioner replacement.
Look out for these red flags:
- Warm air coming from vents
- Weak or no airflow
- Strange noises like banging or hissing
- Higher-than-usual energy bills
- Water pooling around the air conditioning unit
If you’re noticing any of these, don’t wait—Five Star service is just one call away! Give us a call today!
The cost to replace an air conditioner can vary significantly based on the AC unit’s size, brand, and SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating. The average range is typically $3,000 to $7,000 for a standard central air conditioning unit. For a free estimate tailored to your home, we’re here to help—just call Five Star!
