RC&G is an acronym - it stands for "Richard, Charlene, and the Girls", because it's a great reminder of what I'm working for. I'm Richard and my wife and daughters are the most important thing in the world to me. Also hugely important to me is doing great work in my business as a handyman. I've always been mechanically inclined and good at fixing whatever's broken. With decades of experience, now I'm truly a master handyman. Whatever you need, I'm here to get it done. I respond quickly to contacts and give an accurate estimate. Then I arrive as scheduled, do the job right, and leave your house as clean as I found it. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

"Richard was friendly and kind. He installed our blinds, helped clear our sink, fixed our screen door, and assessed our TV mount— all in an hour. We’d love to work with RC&G. As someone with mini houses fixes and projects it can be intimidating to ask for help, but RC&G showed us most things are fixable."

Daniel and his crew did a fantastic job removing and replacing the new furnace and the duct system in a very tight crawl space. They left the furnace looking absolutely beautiful and clean.

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

With the proper maintenance and repairs, your HVAC can last 15 to 25 years. However, it depends on the type of equipment you have and the average lifespan of each, including:

An HVAC unit, like a furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump, produces warm or hot air. The air ducts serve as the passages to help heat or cool air from the HVAC unit flow through the home. Air ducts are just one part of the overall HVAC system.

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.

You can protect your air conditioner in the winter by turning off the power at the thermostat and performing routine HVAC maintenance in the spring. Regular maintenance, cleaning, and repair of your AC unit helps protect it and extend its life span. If you have a window AC unit, remove it from the window and store it in a dry place during the winter. Window units cannot withstand freezing temperatures. Keeping them in your window also allows cold air to seep into your home.

When the capacitor fails, the AC unit can’t operate at all. The most common sign is the thermostat forcing the blower to turn on, but it only circulates room-temperature air. The AC unit also won’t make any noise or indication that it’s on. Sometimes, the compressor might hum as it attempts to work, but without any results.

Before a full shutdown, a faulty capacitor can cause your AC to struggle while turning on. The unit might also shut down in the middle of a cooling cycle.
