"Steve at Anchorage Plumbing and Heating went above and beyond to make sure that it was a fantastic job. I apologize to him for not posting this review sooner because he helped me out of a bad spot with this heating replacement. I bid with 3 plumbing companies and he had the lowest price but everyone was booked out for at least 2 months and my boiler starting leaking and was barely working. He promised that if it failed he would move me up in priority. I told him it was leaking faster and had to be reset many times. So he was able to schedule 2 plumbers to replace my heating system. The old boiler failed the night before perfect timing when his plumbers arrived. The plumbers were professional, did a clean installation job, were polite and knowledgeable. The Muni inspector said they did a great job and I couldn't have beat the price, and quality of the work. Will definitely use again for maintenance and recommend them to my family and friends."
"100% pleased with Moore! My 14 year old gas furnace (present when I bought the house) was blowing CO so it was shut down. I called Moore for a bid based on the positive Angie's List reviews. Tom came out and spent quite a bit of time here, calculating the size requirements based on my home, and explaining the different types of furnaces I could buy, and the pros and cons of each. As it turns out, the 100,000 BTU furnace I had was too big for my 1,200 sq ft home. Tom recommended a 70,000 BTU unit, with variable speed blower, A basic, one speed unit would have been about $1,000 less but I decided to go with the variable speed Lennox. Tom also informed me that the existing return air venting was insufficient for the old unit, and would not be sufficient for the new one. Tom was very patient, answering all of my questions. As a 50 year old woman who doesn't know much about furnaces, this was a big deal to me. I hope Moore realizes what a valuable employee they have in Tom. They were able to schedule the install for two days later, even though they were booked 2+ weeks out (they reserve earlier spots for people with no heat). Tony did the install, and once again, I was very impressed. He was also very patient and answered all of my questions... and I had a lot throughout the day. I had been concerned about who they'd send to do the install, because you can buy the best furnace out there, but if it's not installed right, you've got problems. Do you want problems with your furnace for the next 15 years? I don't. Tony has 40 years of HVAC experience - and knows what he is doing. Another example of a great Moore employee. Last but not least - the ladies that handle their phones were also very personable, and helpful. A few people have commented that Moore's prices could be lower, but I fully believe you get what you pay for. I was pleased with the price I was charged, based on the excellent service I received. It's worth noting - the HVAC company I have used for years for maintenance, submitted a bid for a basic unit WITHOUT even coming out to my house, or discussing it with me over the phone. I replied to the email asking for a price for a variable speed unit - and never heard from them again. And it wasn't a small 2nd rate company either - it's one of the bigger ones (also on Angie's List). Had I gone with them, I am sure my return air issue would have not been addressed, which would have shortened the lifespan of the new furnace. I have not one complaint about this company. Needless to say, i will be using them from now on for annual maintenance, too!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
No, you don’t need a ductless unit in every room. Ductless AC units don't work the way that window units do, where the air doesn't travel outside that room. The indoor air handlers all attach to the outdoor condenser. While the air doesn't travel the way that traditional ductwork would, the ductless AC units create zones so that one part of the home can be cooler than another. They can spread effectively enough that indoor units only need to be placed in main living areas.
No, a furnace is not the same thing as an AC, or air conditioner, but these are both parts of an HVAC system. They both use air ducts to transport cool or hot air around your home to achieve a comfortable temperature set by your thermostat. An AC runs on electricity, while a furnace can use different fuel sources.
Yes, mini-split or ductless AC systems add value to a home and do not devalue it. They are an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in older homes without existing ductwork, as they provide a practical air conditioning solution without the significant expense and hassle of installing traditional ducts. Ductless systems also eliminate issues associated with conventional ductwork, such as noise and the potential for pests. Furthermore, homeowners value energy-efficient solutions, and mini-splits offer high efficiency for both heating and cooling, plus zoned temperature control. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced electric bills, which is a major selling point.
There are several common types of HVAC systems that you may have, including split systems, hybrid HVAC, duct-free systems, packaged heating and air, geothermal heating, or even portable units for heating or cooling. If you aren’t sure which type is in your home or are looking to install something different, you should consult an HVAC pro to determine which option is right for your heating and cooling needs.
The standard HVAC warranty is around five years. Still, many brands offer an extension to 10 years if you register the product within a specific timeframe, typically 60 to 90 days post-purchase or HVAC installation. Over the past decade, warranty periods have substantially increased, shifting from 3-5 years in the 90s to the now-prevalent 10+ year warranties. Both warranty types cover parts failing due to manufacturer defects, incurring no additional costs. Some manufacturers provide extended warranties surpassing the usual 15- to 20-year window, though these often involve extra fees.
