"Air Essentials cleaned all the duct work in a new building.  We did this to remove construction sawdust.  The room smelled very nice after they were done. 
While cleaning the ductwork, a wire came loose from our heating unit.  An HVAC technician was called to fix this, who arrived within an hour.  Everything was corrected, and I was pleased with the work done.
Our dryer vent was also cleaned, and he crawled up under the house to inspect the duct for any problems.

"This was by FAR the best experience I?ve had with an HVAC company. Customer service line was quick, easy and helpful. The service tech Ronnie Austin was very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of my questions with patience and I was able to understand everything he explained. I now have more confidence in my system and services. I will definitely remain a customer for years to come and give many recommendations. Thank you Annette Hales !"

"Look no further! This guy outbid all the previous 4 HVAC companies that gave us ridiculous prices from ($20000 to 4000 for the same project!) and did an excellent job! He provided us 3 price options for the job, was quick and professional. We are very pleased with the quality, customer service and a whole turn around was just great. I highly recommend Hunter and Kingdom Mechanical for all your HVAC projects!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

There are a few ways to determine if a vent is open or closed. You can inspect the vent and examine the position of the fins. If there are spaces between them, the vent is open. If the fins are flat and touching, the vent is closed. You can also stand under the vent when the system is running to see if you feel air flowing through it.

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. 

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

You should use a breathable, weather-resistant cover with ventilation. It can be a top cover or a full cover that has mesh to allow airflow. A full, non-breathable cover can cause moisture to build up, leading to rust, frozen parts, and corrosion. A full cover also attracts unwanted critters, such as mice, that can damage the wiring and your unit. If you need to protect your AC unit from falling icicles, choose a sturdy top cover or piece of wood that prevents icicles from damaging your unit.

In some cases, yes, portable air conditioners are worth buying. They’re a relatively affordable option for cooling small spaces. (On average, they cost between $100 and $500 per unit.) Plus, they’re easy to set up, and you can move them around to cool various parts of your home as needed. However, they aren’t the most efficient AC option, and they tend to be noisy.
