Ambient Temperature

« Back to Glossary Index

Ambient temperature refers to the temperature of the surrounding air or environment in which a system, equipment, or object is located. In HVAC contexts, ambient temperature is typically the air temperature surrounding an HVAC system or its components, such as an outdoor condenser unit. Understanding ambient temperature is critical because it can affect the performance and efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. For example, the outdoor ambient temperature can influence how effectively a system cools or heats a space, as extreme temperatures can impact the workload of the equipment.

I am extremely impressed with Paradise Heating and Air. I was skeptical of filling out an online form for an appointment but was very pleased to get a response in minutes and service to my house within 2 hours of filling out the form. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and fixed our issue promptly. I highly recommend them!

Michael Burrus

Great service, would highly recommend To anyone needing heating/ac services. Had several quotes on replacing ac system ,were the lowest by far. Quality ac units , technicians were very Good at explaining everything they were going to do.

Mark Hamblen

Did a very thorough job of servicing my system. Will use again.

Cheryl Kruse

I highly recommend Paradise Heating and Air. I contacted them to give me an estimate on adding more insulation to my attic. They were super responsive. They came out, gave me an estimate that I felt was very reasonable. In a very short time I was on their schedule. They showed up at the time they told me they would and they did a great job!! They even took care of the areas that were leaking heat. They are very personable, great to deal with. I am super pleased.

Steven Saunders

I had paradise come out to get me started with their paradise maintenance package, and had them take a look at my attic because we had concerns with our insulation not being adequate. They didn’t try to over sell work I didn’t need, and were honest with what exactly was needed to get us back on track. Techs Jonathan and Matthew came out for the initial inspection and service and came back to do the attic insulation. They were patient and knowledgeable (I ask a lot of questions) and took their time. They found all the places that my system was leaking (out and in) air, fixed them, and then filled the attic. They kept the house clean and were respectful and had great attitudes the entire time. They have definitely earned my business, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work. They are AWESOME!

Jerry Smith

On time. Made excellent recommendations. Work performed quickly and reasonably.

HHA A

Paradise heating and air came out to my place within 30 minutes from the time I called put in a water sensor for the airflow in the attic and replaced the Capacitor for upstairs AC unit, Johnathon was very professional and very honest at first he thought I needed freon for one of my units But after it working for a while, he saw that it didn’t need any he could’ve charged me and I would’ve never known but he didn’t he came in and told the freon levels were OK and just needed time to show the correct pressure level. Also their price were very reasonable. Don’t let the service fee scare you, you’re getting an honest company that will come out and tell you exactly what you need and how much it’s going to cost and if you decide to go with them, that service fee will be included with the work they do.

Irv Fietz

Jonathon provides excellent service! Shows up on time, no mess, good at explaining the problem and does high quality work.

Brittany Campbell

We so appreciate the quick and friendly service we received, where our air conditioning was fixed with a major issue before anyone else even would have been able to come out to evaluate! Reliable service, easy financing… Looking forward to doing business with this company in the future. Would definitely recommend.

Edna Cumbee-Montieth

Jonathan is the BEST! We were having an issue with our HVAC not draining properly. Jonathan and Matt came out, assessed the problem and fixed it immediately. Not only were they very courteous, the service was quick and efficient! Jonathan’s experience speaks for itself! We highly recommend Paradise for all your HVAC needs.

Evan Pezent

Nicole Dent

These guys got the job done! Came in did not try to sell me a unit but fixed my existing unit and I appreciate them so much bc it was the hottest day of the year and my unit was completely out. I recommend 💯

Ramona Martin

Trustworthy and honest! I'm so thankful for the service I receive from Paradise Heating and Air. I am a repeat customer because I know Jonathan will not try to sell something I do not need. He explains any issues in detail leaving the decision up to me on whether or not to replace a part. Jonathan takes his time to make sure everything is in good working order before he leaves.He truly cares about his customers. I highly recommend keeping your unit(s) serviced twice a year. I am seeing the benefits on being proactive with this. It's totally worth it. I cannot rave enough about the customer service you receive from Paradise Heating and Air. Call them!!!

Kathy Robinson

Awesome service. I just signed a maintenance agreement with another company and had my HVAC systems serviced. Two weeks later one of my units wasn’t cooling. I called the company that I had a maintenance agreement with and they couldn’t service my units for two weeks. I called Paradise Heating and they fixed my unit that night. Will never use another company again.

Cody Moore

A/C fan went out my house. I called Paradise Heating and Air they came right out and in about 20 minutes we were up and running again. Very professional, very affordable. I would ***HIGHLY*** recommend.

"I was so impressed with Mr. Jonathan from Paradise Heating & Air! They were incredibly respectful of my home, even wearing shoe covers. They were punctual and kept me informed every step of the way. Mr. Jonathan took the time to explain the issue clearly and simply, without any confusing technical terms. They offered several options and let me decide what was best for me and my budget. I really appreciated that they didn't try to oversell me on something I didn't need. It's clear that Mr. Jonathan is knowledgeable and truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend Mr. Jonathan and Paradise Heating & Air to anyone looking for reliable and honest HVAC service. It's refreshing to find a company you can trust."

If only all of our consumer needs were met like the service provided by the team at Paradise Heating and Air. From the very cordial and helpful Paradise employee who answered our after-hours, weekend phone call to the technical service provided by Jonathan and Matthew on Monday - we couldn’t be more pleased. We were informed every step of the way via text of all pertinent information including: scheduled appointment time, tech arrival time with the id’s of technicians who would be performing the work. Jonathan and Matthew arrived five minutes earlier than the one hour scheduled window (no no-shows here), did what they had to do and didn’t use weaponry to determine labor costs. In a land where customers have seemingly been disregarded and led to die, the folks of Paradise have obviously seen themselves and decided to do things a different and better way.

Rama Ankam

Our Condo AC unit was leaking through attic, made online request to Paradise Heating and Voila! within 5 minutes my request was answered and a service was scheduled. Mr. Jonathan and his assistant Mr. Matt showed up before their scheduled time and did an outstanding job. They both were very professional and kind. Mr. Jonathan is a true American technical craftsman, he was quick to identify the problem and fix it in no time. During this time, one of my neighboring Condo owner requested him to look at his AC unit as it wasn't cooling or working properly and Mr. Jonathan agreed to look at it and fixed it. The price was more than reasonable for me and Mr. Jonathan told my neighbor that he will waive the service fee because they were already there to fix mine which saved him money and made him very happy. I don't think I have seen anyone this professional and reasonable in last couple of decades. I wish everyone at Paradise Heating the best in this world. God Bless!

Amanda Bradley Pullen

I cannot say enough good things about Paradise Heating and Air. Jonathan was so kind and patient in explaining everything to us. They are very fair with pricing and are super knowledgeable. They do much more than just heating and air!

Nathan Stuckey

Paradise Heating & Air made getting my air conditioning up and running a priority and actually REALLY showed up earlier than scheduled like they said they would try to. The very nice person that schedules their appointment REALLY did work me in earlier and called me from her car on her way home from work to do it. I couldn’t believe it- customer service in 2024!? Wow. And the owner who serviced my system answered every one of my questions, endured me standing over his shoulder including walking me through how condensation works 😬. GREAT experience and my air conditioning company moving forward.

Diane Natale

Best in the business. I have used this company several times. They are always responsive and get repairs handled quickly. Jonathan is our tech and he does a great job explaining everything.

Kimberly Carns

We had a fantastic experience with Paradise! Our unit was out and we were going through the home warranty process with another company. The heat index was over 100 and we couldn’t wait any longer. Paradise came out on a Sunday morning. They provided a quote, ordered the part, and made all the repairs by Monday lunch. They went above and beyond to help our family and was much more reasonable than the other company we were working with for the same repairs. Can’t recommend Paradise enough!

Rgrs Vncnt

Great service... Speedy and Fairly priced too!

D Avery

I was very pleased with the inspection from Paradise H&A for my church. We have an old, HVAC system that parts are no longer available to repair. Jonathan the owner came out personally to check it. He was experienced, friendly, professional, and was very thorough in checking out the furnace, compressors, air handlers and duct system. He gave me a 'ballpark figure' for replacement with several options. He explained the options to me and what would be required for installation. I appreciated the time he and his helper took to provide a 'free' thorough inspection. Thank you Jonathan and Paradise Heating and Air for putting your customers first!

Patrick Tucker

Paradise did a fantastic job! I requested an appointment online, and I had an appointment scheduled for the next day in just a few minutes. I did call to talk with the person that booked the appointment with some questions about pricing and how they charge for the work they would be doing, and she answered all of my questions. They arrived on time, and very quickly identified the issues with the system. They had it repaired and back up and running in no time. They then spent a lot of time answering all of my questions and looking at additional issues I have. I never felt rushed, and they answered all of my questions in detail. They charged me the price they said they would, and the system is back up and running. I will definitely use them again.

Karl Kemp

Fantastic service! Communicated when they would arrive and were right on time. Very courteous and explained everything that they were going to do, and then explained clearly the additional items thar needed to be addressed.

Rachel Knight

Perfectly on time and very quick! They were able to diagnose the problem and fix it within 30 minutes. No BS and very well priced! I was very impressed!

John Messer

They continue to provide me with great, skilled service for a reasonable price. They're very good about communicating with you and don't mind answering your questions. Still highly recommend. This service was just an extension of last service call due to slow leak in Evap Core of warrantied Goodman A/C which was installed by another vendor 4-5 years ago.

James Coco

Jonathan to the rescue! After hours quick response saved us from a miserable night. Jonathan had us fixed in a matter of minutes! Highly recommend!

Ronald L Speck

Great service, price, and quality workmanship! Highly recommend! I will use them again.

Melanie Kettle

They scheduled me in a timely manner. The technician (Jonathan)was very professional, explained the system, and answered all my questions.

joseph levio

Donna Butler

On time. Responsive. Seemed confident with expertise. Explained issues well. Serviced and repaired older ac system and did not try to sell me a new one. Kept everyone cool for Mothers Day.

Kathleen Smith

How nice is it when someone not only wants your business but goes above and beyond to earn it? That’s Paradise! My issue wasn’t an emergency but the company had a sense of urgency just the same to schedule me quickly, bump my appointment up if I wanted, stay in communication until arrival and tackle the job immediately. They even helped me with another task completely unrelated to the service call just because they saw a need to help. They get all my business now. Please give them yours. You’ll not regret it.

daniel e earnest

Jonathon arrived within 30 minutes of me contacting Paradise. I had a late evening service request due to my unit not properly operating. Jennifer at Paradise was professional and so understanding of how uncomfortable and concerned my family was due the heat. Jonathan had the problem figured out in under 30 minutes of arriving and explained everything very clearly before proceeding. Will be using this company again. Very satisfied!

Anil Chintala

Fast and excellent job by JOHN

Jonathan Pitts

Great prompt service fair price. Thanks..

andrew franklin

I called paradise the temperature was rising in our home on 105 degree day, called on a Saturday morning and was out that afternoon checking after working pretty late which is great and shows dedication. Fortunately there was nothing wrong with the air conditioning the culprit is being an old house with improper insulation and ventilation in the attic space. Jonathan was very helpful and professional. Always fast to respond and give advice on what to do to help when there is an issue that isn’t related to the HVAC having issues.

Pheobe Hall

Misty Hughes

FIRST RATE. TOOK CARE OF ME ASAP. WILL USE IN FUTURE FOR NEW UNIT

Sunil Prabhu

Excellent work and reasonably charges.

Ruthie McNeil

I was fortunately able to get an appointment for the next day. Jonathan & Austin were prompt and kept me advised of their arrival. They quickly found the problem with my "heat" and were able to fix it without problems. They were very friendly and professional, and I felt that their pricing was fair and reasonable. Thanks again, Guys!
