"Great. My daughter contracted Air Duct Professionals to do her home. James, the technician, was professional, knowledgeable and did a quality job. I contacted Air Duct to do my home and requested James. James arrived on time and did an excellent job. He also helped me with a leak with my HVAC Condenser and diagnosed and fixed the issue."

"I was referred to JCC through a friend after dealing with with countless flakey and sub par HVAC technicians. Daniel came through beyond my expectations by coming correct every step of the installation of my ductless mini split AC system. I appreciate Daniel's attention to detail and I value the high caliber of cleanliness, punctuation, communication and the precision of how he executed this install for me. Every aspect of the installation was super clean from the mounting of unit, wiring and placement of condenser. I work in the trades and I see how sloppy people are by leaving messes. He left the work area every day better than he found it. Top notch! In my experience you get what you pay for and if you want shotty work and a deal go to Juan, if you want quality and appreciate craftsmanship I would fully recommend JCC to anyone who is among the same mindset. Daniel made an otherwise stressful experience into a very smooth transaction and I was left feeling absolutely confident in the quality of install and he educated me on every aspect of useage. I feel absolutly secure in my dealings with Daniel. ð ¯"

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Most AC repair technicians will take between two and six hours to carry out repairs, depending on the work needed and the accessibility of the unit. For example, recharging refrigerant lines should take one to two hours to service, while replacing a compressor, blower fan, or other major components can take five to eight hours. You can ask your AC repair technician how long they expect the job to take, but just in case, you should plan on being home and available for most of the day.

Replacing both an AC and a furnace takes a full day on average, ranging from eight to 12 hours. The process involves removing the old units, installing the new ones, and ensuring all connections are properly made. If both systems are being replaced simultaneously, it can take longer than installing a furnace alone, so plan accordingly.

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.

As a general rule, you should have your HVAC system professionally serviced at least once a year, though it's best to follow the manufacturer's specific recommendations. Many experts suggest twice-yearly maintenance: once in the spring for the cooling system and once in the fall for the heating system. This is especially recommended for older units, systems with recurring issues, or heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling. Regular service, which can cost between $100 and $550, keeps the system running efficiently, helps prevent costly future repairs, and saves money on utility bills.

HVAC companies may charge an hourly rate or a flat fee. Hourly rates typically range from $100 to $250 per hour, with an average around $175. Some contractors charge a flat fee for specific services, such as an inspection, which can cost between $150 and $500. The total cost of an HVAC service is influenced by several factors, including: the urgency of the service (emergency repairs after hours or on holidays cost more), the time of year, the type, size, and brand of your HVAC system, the specific repair needed, and whether you have a service contract.
