Does Clayton's climate affect my system?+

Can AC Today repair my AC the same day?+
Yes in Clayton — most of the time. Our trucks stock capacitors, contactors, common fan motors, and refrigerant (the parts behind 80% of AC failures). Less common parts may need a return visit.
Do I need a new system or just a repair?+
We tell you in writing. If your system is under 10 years and the problem is a $400 capacitor, we'll say that. If it's a 15-year-old compressor failure, we'll honestly present both repair and replace options with pricing for each.
Do you handle premium multi-zone systems (Trane XV20i, Carrier Infinity)?+
Yes — these are common in Clayton. Our senior techs are trained on the full premium lineup including Trane Variable Speed, Carrier Infinity 21, Lennox SL series, and Bryant Evolution.
Is it worth repairing an older AC?+
Depends on system age and the failed component. As a rule of thumb: if repair cost exceeds 50% of replacement cost AND the system is 12+ years old, replacement is usually better. We'll show you the math in writing before you decide.
What if the diagnosis reveals more problems?+
We pause work and present each finding with cost and priority. You decide what to fix now vs later. Nothing happens without your written approval.
