"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.

"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

Though it may seem redundant, you can absolutely have a central AC unit and a window AC in your home. In fact, if you place a window AC unit near your central air, it can help move the cooler air throughout your home. But doubling up on your AC methods can get pricey, so factor in cost accordingly.

Many HVAC manufacturers provide warranties that encompass the cost of a new compressor, with durations ranging from 5 to 10 years, depending on the brand. These warranties cover critical components such as the compressor, condenser, connecting tubing, evaporator, and refrigerant charge. Moreover, they often include the necessary labor for replacement or repairs. Keep in mind that premium-brand compressors may offer lifetime warranty options. It's essential to note that these warranties rarely cover labor costs.

On average, an AC unit lasts between 10 and 20 years. However, the specific lifespan depends on the type of unit, how often it's used, the local climate, and the quality of maintenance. Central AC units typically last 12 to 17 years, while window units have a shorter lifespan of 8 to 10 years. Portable AC units last about 5 to 10 years, and ductless mini-split systems can last up to 20 years. To extend the life of your AC unit, it's important to perform regular maintenance, such as replacing filters, cleaning coils, and scheduling annual professional tune-ups.

The cost to replace an AC evaporator coil is typically between $600 and $2,500, with an average cost around $1,300 to $1,350. The price of the coil itself can range from $550 to $1,100, depending on the brand, size, and style, with professional labor adding around $700. Replacing a condenser coil is generally less expensive, costing about $800. Because this repair involves handling refrigerants, it requires a licensed AC professional. Regular inspections, which cost between $200 and $600, can help prevent costly coil replacements.

The time it takes for an air conditioner to dry fully after cleaning depends on the unit's size and humidity levels. Most units will dry within two to four hours after cleaning, but check the manufacturer's recommendations for drying times. Make sure to leave the unit off until it's completely dry.
