"The tenant called him a couple of months ago for something he had one previously, but because he's a good guy, and we had done something six months ago that was very expensive, whatever went wrong this time he just must've fixed. The tenant said she was going to call us back to let us know he fixed it, and there was no contact again, so I'm assuming everything was fine. Our tenant just knows to call him if it's anything to do with heating and air conditioning. He usually does a perfect job and works with you if something goes awry to make sure it's right. I would use him again. He is right there."

"Global Comfort installed a full HVAC system in my home; 7 new runs for air, new AC unit, new furnace and a new Nest thermostat, all electrical needs. Rudy and his team are respectful, efficient, punctual, competitive in pricing. Rudy walked me through running the system for its first time and explained all the stuff for a brand new system in a house that never had AC. I'm very thankful for the work they did. Highly recommend because their customer service is top notch."

"Albert Nahman PHC installed new AC and Furnace for my house. I like them for several reasons -- 1. At first Tom explained in detail what equipment I need and how they work, and gave me a reasonable and detailed quote at end of the visit. 2. They offer interest free finance. 3. I got free upgrade for furnace when the original quoted is not available. 4. Their installer did good job, and cleaned up afterward. I highly recommend this company."

"These guys are just excellent! I made a few mistakes before I got lucky to find New Millennium HVAC. They were professional from the beginning to the end. Jose did a thorough job, cleaning the dryer vent. It was not a straightforward issue and I was afraid that we’d have to open the wall to cure the blockage. However, Jose was able to fix it. He’s an experienced professional excellent at his job, trustworthy and overall great to deal with. I’m a happy customer for years now and will rely on these guys for any HVAC related issues."

"Almost a week ago, our 14yr. old fridge finally gave out and stopped cooling and freezing. We had to toss most our food, and we could not get a refrigerator repair technician until Dec. 20th. Who came to our rescue? Chill HVAC & Refrigeration. I called the office on Dec. 12th and the same day Kevin showed up and diagnosed the problem. After getting the necessary parts, he was back to the house on Dec.14 putting in a whole day of work removing all the worn our parts and replacing them in our large side by side fridge. Now with this new total parts replacement, you can say that we have a brand new refrigerator. Thank you, Kevin for the amazing proficient work. Thank you, Chill HVAC&Refrigeration for having such dedicated professionals. Next time something breaks, we know whom we will be calling."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to compare HVAC quotes is getting a few detailed quotes from local companies with good reputations. Then, go over the quotes line by line. Protect yourself by insisting on in-person estimates that include equipment manufacturer names, model numbers, SEER ratings, amounts and numbers of materials, details of warranties on equipment and labor, and other specifics. 

Knowing the exact equipment and materials is the only way that you can fairly compare quotes. Quotes that are much lower than others can be a sign that the company isn’t providing the best quality service or materials.

On a summer day, expect your AC to run between 12 and 16 hours. However, this time frame depends on just how hot it is outside and the comfortable temperature you’re hoping to maintain indoors. Assuming the size of your AC is appropriate for the space you’re trying to cool, it shouldn’t be a problem for it to work this many hours.

No, it isn’t necessarily bad to turn your AC on and off frequently—contrary to popular belief. Even if you stop and start your AC throughout the day, it won’t use as much energy as it would if you ran it nonstop. 

If you’re concerned about your power consumption and energy costs, there are a few simple ways to use your AC more efficiently. Regularly cleaning the filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using a programmable thermostat are all great choices.

While your AC unit may still run even if its capacitor is going bad, doing so takes a lot more energy, so it can drive up your electric bill and cause further damage to your AC unit’s parts. If you suspect a bad capacitor, it’s important to have a professional diagnose and fix the problem before you continue to run your AC.

Both evaporator coils and condenser coils are recyclable and contain valuable, sellable metals such as copper and aluminum. Not only is it more earth-friendly to take them to a local metal recycling facility, but you can also trade them in for cash. Also, once the coils are removed from the system, they won’t have any traces of refrigerant, so you won’t have to arrange for recycling Freon or R-410A unless you’re disposing of the entire AC system.
