Everything Smart Air Heating & Cooling does for central air conditioning in one place: new system installation, same-day repair, and seasonal tune-ups. Call 223-221-2589 to book.
A central air conditioner is a ducted system, which means its performance depends as much on the ductwork behind your walls as on the equipment sitting outside. That is why Smart Air Heating & Cooling treats cooling as one continuous service rather than three unrelated jobs. Replacement, mid-summer breakdown or spring tune-up, the same HIC #PA165573 licensed team handles it, with 38 years of combined experience behind every visit.
We install AirEase, Heil and Carrier cooling equipment and we are an AirEase ProTeam contractor, but our technicians service all major brands. That matters when a system fails: you are not waiting for a specialist because your outdoor unit happens to say Trane, Lennox, Goodman or Rheem on the side.
Use the three service pages below to go straight to what you need, or call 223-221-2589 and we will help you work out which one applies. We serve Lancaster, Lititz, Elizabethtown, York and the surrounding communities.
Three ways we keep Lancaster County homes cool. Pick the one that fits your situation.
The system runs but will not cool, trips the breaker, freezes over, or has started making a noise it never made before. We diagnose the actual cause rather than swapping parts, and our vehicles carry the components that fail most often.
AC Repair ServicesReplacing a worn-out air conditioner or adding central cooling for the first time. We run a load calculation before recommending equipment, inspect the existing ductwork, and commission the finished system so airflow and refrigerant charge match the design.
AC Installation ServicesA spring tune-up before the first hot spell. We clean the condenser and evaporator coils, check refrigerant charge, test electrical components and controls, and flag the parts drifting out of spec while there is time to plan.
AC Maintenance ServicesThree things Lancaster homeowners ask us about most often when it comes to central air conditioning.
Most cooling calls end in a repair, and they should. A failed capacitor, a bad contactor, a clogged condensate line or a dirty coil are all worth fixing on almost any system. The conversation only changes when the failure is expensive and the system is old.

We give you the diagnosis and the options in writing and let you decide. Financing options are available if a replacement is the right call at the wrong time.
SEER2 is the current federal rating for cooling efficiency, and a higher number does mean less electricity for the same cooling. But an oversized high-SEER2 system will still leave your house clammy, because air conditioning removes humidity only while it runs. A unit that satisfies the thermostat in short bursts never runs long enough to dehumidify, which is exactly the wrong behavior in a Pennsylvania July.
So we calculate the load before we quote, measuring conditioned square footage and accounting for insulation, window area and orientation, and ceiling heights, rather than matching whatever tonnage happens to be sitting outside now. Getting that number right is what makes the rating on the box translate into a lower bill.
Central air is only as good as the duct system distributing it. Leaks in unconditioned space, crushed or disconnected runs, undersized returns and closed-off registers all show up the same way to a homeowner: one room that will not cool, a system that runs constantly, and a bill that keeps climbing.
We inspect ductwork during installation and check airflow during maintenance, because replacing equipment without addressing the distribution problem just buys a more efficient way to have the same complaint. If your home has no ductwork at all, a ductless mini-split is usually the better route.
Tell us what the system is doing and we will get a licensed technician scheduled. We offer same-day service during business hours, Monday through Friday, across Lancaster and York counties. Not sure whether you need a repair or a replacement? That is what the diagnostic visit is for.

Apply TodayIf the system has stopped cooling, is making a new noise, is leaking water or keeps tripping the breaker, you need repair. If it still works but you want it checked before the cooling season, you need maintenance. If it is at the end of its service life or the repair no longer makes financial sense, you need installation. If you are not sure which category you are in, call 223-221-2589 and describe the symptoms, and we will tell you which visit to book.

You do not need to have bought the system from us to have us service it.
Once a year, in spring, before the first stretch of hot weather. Annual professional service keeps the coils clean and the refrigerant charge correct, catches worn electrical components before they strand you in July, and is a condition of most manufacturer warranties. Between visits, changing the air filter on schedule is the single most useful thing a homeowner can do.
Often yes, and the deciding factor is ductwork. If your home already has ducts for forced-air heating, adding central cooling is usually straightforward. If it has radiators or baseboard heat and no ducts at all, retrofitting a full duct system is invasive and expensive, and a ductless mini-split is normally the better answer. We will tell you which situation you are in during the estimate.
Uneven cooling is usually a distribution problem rather than an equipment problem. Common causes are duct leaks in an attic or crawlspace, a run that is undersized or partially crushed, insufficient return air, or a room with much more window area than the rest of the house. Replacing the outdoor unit will not fix any of those, so we measure airflow and inspect the ducts before recommending anything.
