"Great team! Mark, Sergii and Pavel replaced my furnace and installed an AC. It was a real pleasure to work with them. Mark listened carefully and provided several options for me to choose from. He was also flexible on scheduling the work to match my family needs. Sergii and Pavel performed the installation exactly as planned, kept the house clean, and payed a lot of attention to the aesthetics of the visible parts of the system. They explained to me where they'd run the lines, what were the options and why they preferred one over the other. I'm very happy with the choice of brand and model and with the installation. The team really cares about their customers. Thank you!"

"I found Jim's Air Systems through HomeAdvisor, and Josh was the first contractor to reach out to me personally, not through an automated service. From the start, communication with him was excellent. I provided him with a detailed description of the job, along with model numbers and photos of my existing system. He reviewed everything carefully rather than giving me a quick, generic quote. I received another bid for comparison, but the other contractor was significantly more expensive and wanted to upsell me. It was refreshing that Josh understood I had done my research, knew what I wanted, and didn't pressure me into unnecessary upgrades. Josh's team arrived on time, completed the work as scheduled, obtained the required permit, and left my home as clean as they found it. Overall, a great experience and a solid value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."

"We have a small office building in Salinas. The air in our office has always been very dusty. We had several air purifiers going at once and nothing helped. We had our air ducts inspected and discovered they were extremely dusty. Najafzade Services cleaned our ducts and we have finally been able to breathe clean air!"

"Ricardo was timely and professional, quickly diagnosed the problem and hone in on the best solution. He is down to earth and know what he's talking about. He didn't push for irrelevant repairs or upsell me on more expensive solutions and just focused on fixing the root problem. Would love to work with him again."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

There are a few ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. Keep the unit clean for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a window AC specialist near you to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.

The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season—spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.

Keeping your air filter clean is crucial for your heat pump's efficiency. As a general rule, you should check your air filter every 1 to 3 months. However, the actual frequency might vary depending on factors like the type of filter, indoor air quality, and the amount of dust and debris in your area. If you notice the filter is visibly dirty or clogged, it's a clear sign it needs attention sooner. Regular filter maintenance ensures proper airflow and helps your heat pump perform optimally, keeping your indoor air fresh and comfortable.

The average cost to replace or install a new HVAC system is around $7,500. However, the price can range from $5,000 to $12,500, depending on factors like the size of your home, the type and brand of the unit, and your specific heating and cooling needs. If you only need to replace certain components, the cost will be lower; for example, a new AC unit can cost between $2,200 and $5,500, while a new furnace costs $3,200 to $6,000. If additional work like new ductwork is required, the total cost could be as high as $22,000. It's best to contact a local HVAC company for an accurate quote.

When faced with HVAC issues, it's best to begin by ensuring the thermostat settings are correct for either heating or cooling. If the system isn't responding, check the thermostat for proper function and power supply. It's also important to examine air filters, as clogged ones can decrease performance. Confirm the power supply to the system by checking the circuit breakers and fuses. If these basic steps fail to resolve the issue, contact an HVAC professional for a more detailed diagnosis and repair.
