Fast Response and 24/7 Availability

In Elko’s dry, intense summer heat, air conditioning is essential, not a luxury. Local HVAC professionals understand the urgency of restoring cooling quickly. That’s why Charles Chester Plumbing & Heating offers rapid-response services, including 24/7 emergency repairs. Whether it’s a weekend, holiday, or the middle of the night, our team is prepared to respond immediately when your system goes down. We recognize that a delay in service can pose serious health risks, especially for households with children, elderly residents, or individuals with medical conditions. Our deep familiarity with local weather patterns and demand trends enables us to keep technicians and equipment ready to respond swiftly when our community needs it most.

Detailed Diagnostics and Honest Estimates

When our technician arrives at your home, they begin with a full-system inspection. We check refrigerant pressures, clean and examine the condenser and evaporator coils, test electrical relays and capacitors, confirm proper airflow, and verify thermostat calibration. By taking a comprehensive approach to diagnostics, we can pinpoint the root of the problem and reduce the chance of repeat issues. Once the inspection is complete, we walk you through a detailed estimate outlining the issue, the recommended repair, and the full cost before any work begins. We never push unnecessary services and never leave you in the dark about pricing.

High-Quality Repairs with Reliable Parts

Our repair vehicles are fully stocked with high-quality, manufacturer-approved replacement parts. This enables us to resolve most common AC problems such as broken fan motors, burnt-out capacitors, leaking refrigerant lines, or faulty contactors on the spot. We match parts to your system’s specifications to ensure compatibility and reliability. Our commitment to quality parts means fewer callbacks, greater energy efficiency, and longer-lasting comfort. Each technician at Charles Chester is certified, experienced, and trained to complete repairs in accordance with safety codes and industry standards.

Beyond technical expertise, we pride ourselves on providing courteous service, clear communication, and a willingness to answer any questions you may have about the work being done.

Maintenance Tips and Long-Term Advice

After your AC is back up and running, we take time to discuss steps you can take to maximize its performance and longevity. This includes tips on how often to change air filters, when to schedule seasonal tune-ups, how to maintain proper airflow, and what thermostat settings are most energy-efficient. We also advise on potential signs of future issues to watch for helping you prevent breakdowns before they occur. If your current unit is outdated or underperforming, we provide honest, pressure-free guidance on repair versus replacement, helping you make the best long-term decision for your home and budget.

Thanks Eric for taking care of the problem with a wire on our new thermostat, it had been connected to the wrong terminal, due to manufacturer offset printing.
