Air Conditioning System Maintenance

This will save you from the unplanned cost of an AC system malfunction.
Air Conditioning Features
We offer air conditioning systems with multiple features. To help choose the best one for your home, consider the energy consumption, cooling power, single speed, two speed, or variable speed air conditioning units.
Energy Consumption
“SEER” is an abbreviation for “seasonal energy efficiency ratio.” The SEER (or efficiency) rating refers to how much electricity the unit will use to keep your home cool during a typical season. The higher the SEER number, the higher the efficiency is, and the less electricity the unit will consume.
Cooling Power
The “tonnage” of an air conditioner refers to the unit’s ability to remove heat from your home in one hour. A ton of heat is also equivalent to 12,000 BTUs or 18,000 burning matches. Residential air conditioners are made in sizes of 1.5 to 5 tons, increasing by.5 increments.
Your technician will determine what size (or tonnage) unit you need for your house. In this case, is it not a matter of “the more, the better.” Since every home is unique, the best option is often to choose a two-speed or variable unit. They work well even when slightly oversize.
Single Speed Air Conditioners
Single-speed air conditioners produce the same amount of heat removal all the time, regardless of how hot and muggy it is outside. They are built to handle the hottest days of the year. While this is great in July in Arlington, it means they are larger than needed the rest of the time. This choice is good for smaller homes.
Two Speed Air Conditioners
Two speed air conditioners have two distinct output capacities to better condition your home in Arlington. These units can change the amount of cooling capacity they produce, depending on how hot it is. Because they can slow down and run longer, they do a better job removing moisture and providing enhanced comfort.
Variable Speed Air Conditioners
We recommend Variable Speed units for large homes. Instead of turning on and off all day to adjust the temperature, they run at a variable speed. They have 700 different outputs, which means they can accurately provide temperatures within 1/10th of the degree you want. They provide exceptional comfort and moisture removal, with none of the hot and cold temperature swings typical to one and two-speed units.
What our customers say:
With a 20+ years old AC, I knew I needed a new one. I found Trademasters through NextDoor, where several neighbors recommended them to me. I chose them after meeting with more HVAC salespeople than I'd care to admit...I'm very happy we chose Trademasters. Their customer service is top notch and the installers did an amazing job.

I have been using Trademasters for several years to do my HVAC maintenance and a condominium required furnace inspection. They have been very upfront about any repairs that have been required and don't automatically push replacing your system. They have always timely when you make an appointment. To flush this out a bit more, I had them replace my entire system because I wanted an up to date and more efficient system. The crew that did the installation was knowledgeable and professional and did a very neat job. Unfortunately the new compressor had a leak because of faulty manufacture. But when there are problems this is when a company shows its true colors. Jamie got right on it to get a replacement compressor delivered and they sent a crew out the next week to install it. Again the second crew was professional and did exceptional work. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone who cares to ask.

I was absolutely satisfied with Trademasters installation of our split system Daikin unit from start to finish. The sales rep responded to my call promptly, came to review the job, and reviewed the project thoroughly. Installation was very smooth and the techs were very professional and courteous. Good clean up as well. I would definitely recommend the company.

I have been using Trademaster's for several years to do my HVAC maintenance and a condominium required furnace inspection. They have been very upfront about any repairs that have been required and don't automatically push replacing your system. They have always timely when you make an appointment. Their technicians have always been courteous, wearing masks and little shoe coverings so they don't track dirt into your place. I have found their price point to be reasonable. I highly recommend them for HVAC work.

My kitchen sink was taking very long to drain. Phil and Devon were the Plumbers that came to my home and they were so personable. Their work ethic was fantastic and you can tell they care about the work they do. The customer service was also amazing. I spoke to Sarah and Ashley from their office and they were very polite and helpful. Very impressed with TradeMasters!

The people at Trademasters came to install a new AC unit after the old one didn't produce any cold air anymore. They were professional, well mannered, and kept me informed about what they were doing. One thing that impressed me was a master HVAC person overseeing the entire operation. This gave me piece of mind that the job was being done correctly. Finally, their prices were several hundred dollars less than their competitors. I am very happy with my new AC unit and will be using them for all of my future AC needs

Of course our AC died on the hottest day of the year. Trademasters got a technician out the same day. Bad news ... needed a new outdoor unit. It took a couple of days to get the unit installed, but I'm a very happy repeat Trademasters customer. They show up when they say the will, do the work they promise, at a very good price. Plus they are really nice folks to work with. I HIGHLY recommend them for all your HVAC needs.

From the decision making meeting to the delivery and installation all went along very well. We had questions concerning the system and another Tech came out and further instructed us on what to notice, see and do! Thanks for the exemplary service.

My HVAC of 23 years kicked the bucket. I received four proposals to replace my system. Trademasters Service gave me a fair proposal and blew the competition out of the water hence, it was an easy decision for me on who to hire. On the day of my installation, the crew showed up early and on time. They worked really hard and did a fabulous job. When the job was complete, they showed me everything that was done and made sure that if I had any questions at all, they were answered. The crew cleaned up and I was left to enjoy my new HVAC system. I would not hesitate to recommend Trademasters to anyone and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Needed new AC system because of the freon availability. Was going to do so during COVID last summer but had to wait. Meanwhile raccoons got into our attic Heat Pump system that we were also going to replace.Trademasters did both at the same time including getting AC up and running during our first hot spell this summer. Working with manufacturers to get the equipment/parts needed. The men were lovely.They just did the job. Would reccomend them anytime.

Trademasters are hands down the best HVAC company I have ever worked with. They answer their phones and all techs are extremely professional. Their pricing is also very completive and affordable.After years of working with other companies I am so happy I found Trademasters Service, Inc and I plan to be a customer for life.

We have used Trademasters for almost 25 years. Their service is excellent and timely. We have never had a problem requesting emergency service. They are always accommodating. We recently contracted with Trademasters for a new furnace, air conditioner and hot water tank. All three jobs were done on time on the day they were scheduled. They were in and out in a few hours. There have been no followup issues. A job well done by the Trademasters staff.

Being in the commercial real estate industry for the past decade, I have worked with countless contractors. When it came time to evaluate overhauling my residential HVAC system and water heater, I received a few quotes from vendors and was then referred to Trademasters. I instantly felt confident with this vendor from the onset while meeting Shane for over 2 hours for the initial site visit. After several subsequent calls, given the project's scope and financial investment, we released Trademasters and could not be more satisfied. I was overly impressed by the prompt communication by Tabatha and the team at the main office from pulling the permit, scheduling around inclement weather and meticulous record-keeping of all necessary documentation.Further, I was blown away by the attention to detail, work ethic and ability to quickly problem-solve the day of the installation performed by Chris P., Chris F. and of course, Phil. They truly went above and beyond. I can genuinely state that I will be referring Trademasters to clients & friends and cannot wait to get them on board for my commercial projects!

Trademasters was quick to provide a quote for a replacement HVAC unit. Price was responsible with no "hidden" costs. They were sure to include and explain the little things that really make a difference that we would not have even though of as a homeowner. Things that seem “small” but are worth it such as a trap we can see and clean, a drip pan sensor and float sensor to detect leaks and clogged lines to prevent water damage to our house, and a new equipment pad and risers for the outdoor unit. Really appreciated the honesty and transparency of the quote. They additionally provided great information for us to decide on the type of replacement unit we wanted/needed. They answered any questions we had promptly and thoroughly. When the two technicians arrived on site they were on time, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. They wore face masks (COVID), shoe covers, and laid down a drop cloth from the front door to the indoor unit to protect the house during their work and trips inside and out. They were impeccable when they cleaned up their work inside and out. They were extremely professional, hard working and efficient during their time here. The orientation of the new unit, explanation of the initial startup, testing of the unit and all the details of the work completed were above standard. Trademasters really goes above and beyond from start to finish.

I'm giving Trademasters five stars thanks to the five-star service we received. We recently had our ancient (and dead) HVAC unit replaced by this company and the quality of work was excellent! Also, the staff worked with a high level of professionalism.From our initial estimate meeting with Shane, I was very comfortable with his knowledge and was confident that they could do the job, which wasn't and easy one due to the age of our previous unit and the orientation of it. Shane gave a competitive quote and we decided on Trademasters largely due to his understanding of the situation and his experience.The staff worked from 7 am to 4 pm. It was an all-day job, but they got the work done earlier than previously estimated. Safety precautions were definitely taken and the technicians kept their masks on for the duration of the work, which alleviated any concerns. Once that air conditioning kicked it, relief was granted! Payment was easy as well and the office staff did a great job coordinating everything.Awesome service and highly recommended!

Super company!!!

We had our air conditioning go out unexpectedly on a weekend. I called first thing on a Saturday morning, and a technician came out later that same morning. He was able to get the system back working in the morning, but in the afternoon we heard a sound that indicated a further problem. We called and the technician came out again that same day, was able to do some additional diagnostics and determined that a bear in the motor had gone. While Trademasters was not able to fix it that day, they called first thing Monday morning and got a technician out to replace the motor. We have a regular service agreement and they only charged us for replacing the motor. I very much appreciate the expertise and professionalism of the technicians and prompt response from the support staff. I will definitely stay with Trademasters.

Trademasters' staff worked diligently to diagnose and solve my problem. They took extra care to be sure they were pursuing the most cost effective fix, including a "second opinion" visit at no charge. The staff were pleasant and professional, and the price was fair.

TradeMaster. From the first moment Shane Allen walked into my house and game me the estimate I know I can trust them. He Diddy push me to buy he did not called me to book his service instead he gave me space for me to think about it. Few days later after I spoke with my wife we decided to move forward with TradeMaster/Shane. Do you know how horrible is that during the summer you ac broke down! That’s exactly what happened to me. But after I booked the service they came next day and reemplace my units for a new one within 7 hours. Those people now how to get the job done professionally, fast and clean. Thank you so much for your amazing services and for faster response to my emails. You guys are the best. If you need this services don’t look no further I highly recommend it.

Our experience with Trademaster was a very welcome exceptional experience in replacing our HVAC system. We had contact with five representatives/technicians for the entire process. All were most professional in presenting the information we requested to the actual installation. With the average daily temperature reaching 90 degrees, the time for replacing our system was important. From the initial request for an estimate to the installation, Trademaster folks did it in a little less than three weeks. We certainly would recommend Tademaster Services to anyone needing HVAC or plumbing service

We love Trademasters! Whether it was for planned improvements, like a new AC unit before the start of summer, or same-day repairs when the furnace died during the coldest days this winter, Trademasters has been wonderful to work with. Pricing is reasonable, with no upselling. We recommend them to everyone.

Gabriel was my technician and he was awesome. Very courteous, informative, and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions in layman's terms. The company was easy to deal with and gave me a courtesy call 10 minutes before my technician got there to let me know he was on his way. I highly recommend this company.

This week, we had our hot water heater replaced by Trademasters. We are long time clients of this company and, after pricing different providers for this installation, we decided to have them accomplish the job. Devon was our technician and I was so impressed, I sent a message to the company! Devon was not only very capable and efficient, but just such a great guy! He went way above and beyond helping me to clear the area around the hot water heater location, was kind and thoughtful and just a joy to have about for the duration of a pretty complicated job. I highly recommend Trademasters after years of dealing with this company, and I certainly recommend Devon Houston as one of their best representatives! My sincere thanks for a job well done!! ?

We had a total of 5 estimates for replacement of a heat pump and air handler for our townhouse. We found a wide range of prices, as much as $800 between them. We chose Trademasters, which was in the middle of that range, in part because they installed a furnace/ a/c in another home for us and have done fall and springs checks since then. They had always been easy to work with and schedule. That system is still working well. We had the townhouse checked out when we purchased it. David was the technician. He did a great job, explained everything about the heat pump and air handler, what potential problems we might have and the new R-ratings for coolant. The hardware was very dated (1985 and 2004), so when it had problems later, we had Trademastesr prepare an estimate. The estimator, Shane, like David, gave us cogent and detailed information and explained what he thought our best choices were. Chris (crew leader), Stephen, and Luis did the installation. They called ahead, were on time (early, even), watched out that the muddy outside did not come inside, even put up with the rambunctious puppy with grace. They worked straight through until the work was done and the house was heated, just before the unusual very cold spell that occurred in November 2019. Kudos to all of them. We would fully recommend Trademasters.

Trademasters inspected our water heater & A/C as required by our Condo HOA. The tech was friendly, professional and showed up on time. The fee for their service was fear and reasonable. We decided to obtain their annual service contract for our Heating and A/C.

This is a really good company I know that. However the last time I called them for service. I asked that my filters be changed. Letting them know that an 8-ft ladder would suffice for the first filter. However a larger ladder would be required for the second filter to be changed. When they came out only the one filter was changed. With the gentleman stating he didn't have a tall enough ladder to reach the second filter. I offered my ladder from the garage. However he refused, stating he was not allowed to use a customer's ladder. I was still charged the same amount for my service call?

The work was done and it did take a long time. The lead technician had an attitude that was unprofessional. He threatened to walk out before the job was completed because I asked him whether or not they were going to repair my heater drip pan they damaged and whether or not they were going to clean up. He also accused me of not being nice. He is there to install the AC and to answer the client’s questions without an attitude

If you’re planning to work done or change your HVAC system, be careful, you may get HVACED with some companies out there.To be more specific, I had installed a new system with “TradeMasters “about two years ago in my condo .I did not have enough heat throughout in the winter and now , no cold air.After two visits from them with no good results, I finally called and hired “Kraft” company and they told me there are two things wrong from the original installation and they must be corrected and they gave me an estimate.I approached TradeTmasters to come and correct their faulty installation .They came and gave me an estimate about twice as the other company.I finally had “ Kraft “ to do the repair and now after two years the system is up and running.Not only I was HACKED by TradeMastrers, my system was also HVACED by them.Be careful out there Shahrokh ,
