The Exeter02822 calls we answer most often
If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Water pooling around the indoor unit or ceiling stains
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue
Thermostat reading several degrees off from reality
One or two rooms that never reach the set temperature
Skyrocketing utility bills with no change in usage
Musty or burnt smell the first time the system runs
Heating and air conditioning service built around Exeter
Serving Exeter and the wider Washington County area, our crews carry the common failure parts on the truck — capacitors, contactors, igniters, flame sensors, motors and filters — so the first visit is usually the last one.
In the 02822 area we see a lot of attic-mounted air handlers. Attic heat soak in summer and cold-soak in winter both shorten component life and make insulation checks part of a proper diagnosis.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Exeter02822 HVAC questions, answered
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in Rhode Island, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Exeter we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 02822?
A diagnostic visit in Exeter typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Rhode Island is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
Should I repair my system or replace it?
The usual rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a replacement and the equipment is over ten years old, replacement generally wins. We will run that comparison with you on site and show you the maths — and if the honest answer is a $180 capacitor rather than a $9,000 system, that is the answer you get.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
