"Our annual HVAC inspection went flawlessly. The technician was thorough, friendly, and gave helpful maintenance tips. System is running better than it has in years."
"We noticed a foul smell coming from one of the vents in our HVAC system. We turned the system off and called AC Dave. Dave sent Justin and James to troubleshoot the problem. They quickly found a tear in one of our ducts--and the remains of a dead rodent. They cut open the duct, cleaned it and resealed it. We had heat again, about an hour after they arrived. Very fast and competent service."
"Haroon provided excellent HVAC service from start to finish at Help-Me HVAC LLC. He was professional, punctual, and courteous, and he took the time to explain everything clearly. The service was efficient, the workmanship was excellent, and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend Help-Me HVAC LLC and Haroon for reliable HVAC service."
"My HVAC unit stopped producing heat so I called the folks at around the clock. They offered to come out the same day and after taking a look up on our roof determined it was a faulty control board. We talked a little about the lifespan of the unit and that while it was probably going to need to be replaced in the next 5 years or so, it made more sense to simply replace the board today. So he scheduled an appointment for the following day to come back with the replacement board. 1 day later and 15 minutes of work and I have heat again."

"Victor and Ricky were very helpful from the beginning and during the installation. These guys are professional, very knowledgeable, skillful, and did a superb job. After getting a few bids from different contractors, I awarded the installation of a complete HVAC system because they were easy to communicate with and always willing to answer questions and provided the best price for my system. They really worked with me more than the other prospective contractors. I would highly recommend Victor and Ricky for any HVAC Job repair or complete installation. I would hire them again. Ben"
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
Because of the improved efficiency, ACs with higher SEER ratings tend to cool down your home better than models with a lower SEER. Higher-SEER AC units have a higher cooling capacity and a lower energy demand, meaning they may help cool your space faster without running up the electricity bill.
It’s normal to hear a low humming sound as air moves through your vents. Most of the time, you probably won’t even notice it. However, if that sound becomes disruptive or if you hear more concerning noises (such as rattling, clicking, banging, hissing, or grinding), there might be a problem with your HVAC system.
Yes, ventless portable air conditioners exist, and not all standard portable air conditioners must be vented through a window.
Ventless portable units, often called evaporative coolers, do not have exhaust hoses. They use a water reservoir and a cooling pad to add moisture to the air, making it feel cooler. These units work best in dry climates because humid areas cannot absorb much additional moisture.
For standard portable air conditioners that do require venting, a window is not the only option; they can also be vented through a door, wall, or ceiling. However, it is essential to vent these units properly. Running a standard portable AC without venting it is counterproductive because it needs to expel heat to cool the room. Failing to do so will only increase the room's temperature.
If you’re looking for a portable, budget-friendly cooling solution that doesn’t require any venting or installation, a ventless AC system is a good option. Similarly, this is a great choice if you’re renting an apartment or home and aren’t allowed to make large, structural changes like installing comprehensive HVAC, or you’re in a shared space and only need to cool your own room.
Yes, a dirty evaporator coil can freeze up. Dirty evaporator coils can’t absorb or transfer heat properly. The dirt and grime restrict airflow, which is needed to move heat throughout the system properly. Your air conditioning unit could freeze over, or it can cause your heat pump to freeze.
