Please recommend a trusty and fair AC service co in Plano McKinney area.

AC Appliance Pros (my wife says they've changed their name to AC Pros.) We've been using them for years. Very trustworthy and reliable. Good pricing. Knowledgeable people.

They were the only ones who could explain why our kitchen was always hot (insufficient cold air return), and they replaced our system when it went out with one that is extremely efficient. We pay them an annual fee to routinely service our system and have been doing so for years. Zero complaints.

Plano Heating and Air (http://www.planoair.com/) is owned by our very own 03LightningRocks. You should give him a call.

Calling Plano air, first.

My son and his girl friend are in town from Houston since Friday. I have not checked my email until just a few minutes ago. I sincerely appreciate the vote of confidence. I recieved a text message that we were swamped today. It figures the first really hot day of the season would fall on a Saturday when we don't have the full crew running. I hope they were able to take care of you.

I had them replace a capacitor that went out last summer. They were fast and professional but also were more expensive than anyone else. Replacing a capacitor cost me $300 and took the tech 15 minutes to do. Other companies I've talked to since have quoted slightly lower prices for a simple capacitor swap out. But I can't speak to their professionalism or speed. At least with 03LightningRocks company you've got some peace of mind and someone to turn too if things go badly.

If you know you have a failed capacitor, and are at all handy, they can be ordered online and they're a snap to replace. Cost is maybe $20 for the part. (NOTE: it would be a good idea to pull the power cutoff before attempting capacitor replacement! )

I found this out the hard way. I found the part that was replaced and found that it was only $20. I will likely order one just to have on hand for next time. The removal and re-wireing looked really simple, especially if you diagram properly beforehand. The AC had gone out at 10pm, so the next morning while I was waiting for the repairman to come I removed the cover and found the bulging capacitor and by that time they were already here and if I sent him away I'd be stuck with the service call so I let him do his thing only to be shocked by the $300 pricetag.

I've used Air Patrol in the past and been pleased with them. They replaced my A/C in 2011 and my Furnace this January. In both cases, the work was done quickly and at lower cost than competitors.

Yep, I have a backup that sits on my workbench just in case. You can pick up the common sizes at Grainger.
