"Of all the people I've had work on my home renovation in the last year, these guys were my favorite. Prompt, professional, honest, and reliable. When Duke came to give us the estimate, my 2 year old daughter wanted to give him a hug before he left which is unprecedented. That pretty much sealed the deal for us. They were also far and away the most reasonable quote we got. Even a friend quoted us $1500 more for less work. The installers were on time and knew their stuff. The install work is top notch as well. Everything in place and looks well put together. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work."

"Jorge, Angel, Ishmael, and George were fantastic. Jorge was honest and straight in the initial conversations. He gave me multiple options for systems and their functionality. When I made my selection I was given a very fair price for the work that was to be done. He was very helpful in acquiring good financing that bested my Credit Union and Bank. The work was done quickly with great attention to the fine details. I now have an efficient and functional HVAC unit. If you need repairs or a replacement HVAC system you could not do better than selecting Elite Heating and Air for your job. I'm telling all my friends that if they need any work done - "I've got a guy"..."

"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."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification is not legally required for HVAC technicians in most areas, but hiring a professional with this certification is highly recommended. NATE-certified technicians demonstrated their expertise and proficiency in different types of HVAC systems, offering assurance of quality service. It's a voluntary certification, yet it indicates a commitment to professionalism and ongoing training. Choosing a NATE-certified technician often means you're working with someone who is up-to-date on industry standards and best practices, which can lead to better service, energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings.

There are a few ways to determine if a vent is open or closed. You can inspect the vent and examine the position of the fins. If there are spaces between them, the vent is open. If the fins are flat and touching, the vent is closed. You can also stand under the vent when the system is running to see if you feel air flowing through it.

While you’ll pay more upfront for a brand-new HVAC unit, you can save money in the long run. Here’s how to save on your new HVAC system:

  • When purchasing a high-efficiency system, your energy bills will be lower in the future.

  • You may be eligible for special offers from your local energy company.

  • Depending on the system, you may be eligible for HVAC rebates and tax credits.

  • Choose to replace your air conditioning unit and furnace simultaneously to save on labor and installation costs. 

You should use a breathable, weather-resistant cover with ventilation. It can be a top cover or a full cover that has mesh to allow airflow. A full, non-breathable cover can cause moisture to build up, leading to rust, frozen parts, and corrosion. A full cover also attracts unwanted critters, such as mice, that can damage the wiring and your unit. If you need to protect your AC unit from falling icicles, choose a sturdy top cover or piece of wood that prevents icicles from damaging your unit.

While all portable AC units will collect moisture as part of their cooling and dehumidifying process, whether and how often you need to drain them depends on what kind of unit you have and the natural humidity levels where you live. For example, if you live in a very dry area and have a self-evaporating unit, you may not need to drain your portable AC very often at all. Some units may automatically drain collected moisture out the window through their exhaust vent.
