"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
There are many signs of a bad AC fan motor, including if the fan blades don’t spin when the AC kicks on or if they keep spinning when the AC is off. The AC fan cools down the condenser coil, so a faulty motor can also cause the system to overheat. Unusual noises in the exterior AC unit, including grinding or rattling sounds, may also be a sign that the AC fan motor is worn out.
As mentioned above, not all HVAC Schrader valves are necessarily the same. While the valve core and pin or spring size on Schrader valves used for HVAC are generally similar, the valves are not all universal and interchangeable. The size of Schrader valves varies depending on whether it's used in an air conditioner, bicycle tire, or motor vehicle tire.
Dirty filters are almost always the cause of poor airflow, so they should be regularly cleaned and then replaced as needed. The fan blades can also get dirty, so they should be cleaned when the unit is turned off. Make sure that the outdoor area around the back of the unit is unobstructed. Trees, shrubs, trash, and other objects could be too close to your unit.
Yes. Your air supply should be balanced. The return and supply ducts need to maintain that balance, and this only occurs because an equal amount of air should be entering and leaving your HVAC system. Changes in pressure, extreme weather, and blocking vents with furniture or your stuff can make the air supply unbalanced and cause your home to get too cold or hot.
Most units are designed only to cool the house down to 20 degrees less than the temperature outside. This means that if it’s 99 degrees Fahrenheit out and you’re trying to cool your home down to 65 degrees, you’ll notice your AC is struggling.
Lower the blinds on all your windows, turn on your ceiling fans, and keep the thermostat at a consistent temperature to help your AC do its job. Investing in an HVAC maintenance plan also helps because pros will come out to inspect and tune up your unit regularly, keeping it in optimal working condition.
