We occasionally get asked the question…Can I just go and buy any outdoor AC to fit my house?

The answer is no. The right sized coil (indoor unit) and air conditioner (outdoor unit) is very important and specific to each individual home. Too large of equipment and your system will short cycle and cause your humidity levels to be uneven. Too small of equipment and your system will run continuously trying to keep up, eventually freezing up, usually due to setting the temperature down 60 degrees or lower. Your system just wont keep up when under sized.

NOTE: Never turn your thermostat down below 60 degrees, your system is prone to freeze up and stop working. If you are experiencing problems with your system not cooling to set temperatures, turn off your AC, go inspect your indoor coil (located on top of your furnace) and your outdoor AC equipment, for ice. If you find ice, keep your AC off and call one our professionals for service (509-487-cool).

We've had our AC unit from Air Design installed 3 years ago and couldn't be happier. Every time we have had a question, the've been amazing with responses. The price was absolutely the best we found here in Spokane and the customer service has been incredible.

We had repair company after repair company come to our house to solve our problem with the furnace. Air Design found the issue that none of the other companies had even though to check. Their expertise and friendliness are 2nd to none. Give them a call before anyone else!

Our family has always wanted a fire pit in the backyard. I called around and got prices from all the retailers. I was amazed that the prices for the fire pit and installation from Air Design were equal to us just doing it ourselves. Simple and affordable. Thank you Air Design. I love our family nights around the fire pit!

We were spending far too much on our power bill in the summer and the winter. When the weather was extreme, it hurt our pocketbooks. Air Design suggested we supplement our heating and cooling system with a heat pump. We had never considered that. Our monthly power bill has decreased by 35%. What a great suggestion that we never would have thought of on our own.

It's never fun to deal with issues in the middle of the night or when you're not home. We were facing a problem with our water heater. Air Design was on the spot and at our house with a fix in less than 35 minutes - in the middle of the night! I was so impressed. The tech was so kind and professional. They even gave us a follow up call to make sure all was well a few days later. They are my go-to company from here forward!
