"Bob Jenson sent 2 installers to put in 3 more mini splits this past Monday. Tony Guardarrama and Pouria arrived on time both Monday and Tuesday. They did an excellent job and I am very satisfied. It was not an easy installation, but they somehow managed to get it all done and no messes were left behind. I wholeheartedly recommend Bob Jenson AC & Heating."

"I had used Ed before with my other house. I recently hired him to clean the dryer duct at my other house. When he moved the dryer, he saw that there was a lot of lint in the body of the dryer (a fire hazard). Because he could access it, he cleaned it all out as well as the duct. The air flow is perfect. I recommend Ed and Air Duct Professionals highly. I have used his company two times, and I am extremely satisfied."

"Checked on home adviser for AC repair. They referred my request to Josh at all day heating & repair. Josh call me within 1/2 hour. Explained my problem and he said he could come in 2 days ( this was in the middle of of a month long heat wave were everyone else was saying 2 to 3 weeks response time).We set a time for the appointment, he called 15 minutes before arriving, After arriving he quickly checked everything out and repaired the problem and even installed a safety switch to keep the same problem from happening again. Josh was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone needing ac help."

"Josh was able to help us out less than 24 hours after I called. We had no AC and it was very hot in our home. He called ahead of his scheduled visit and was able to arrive earlier. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. We discussed future work replacing equipment and will definitely contact Josh to do the job."

"Pat and Tom installed a 5 ton heating and AC unit in my garage/workshop, last summer, and now I can make saw dust 7/24 all week long. Their work was exceptional. Service after installation was done without question. Pat replaced a part in my electrical panel that was defective. Professionalism, installation was exactly what I needed, based upon the size of the garage/workshop area I work in. Service after installation was right on. I would highly recommend R&C heating and air, without question."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to repair or replace your air conditioner, several factors should be considered. It is generally worth repairing the unit if it's less than 10 years old, the warranty is still active, and you're dealing with a one-off issue. Most central AC units last about 15 years, while window units last 8 to 10 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed the 10-year mark and requires frequent or costly repairs (e.g., over $5,000), replacement is often the more sensible long-term investment. For older, inefficient, or out-of-warranty units experiencing multiple problems, replacing it is typically the better choice.

You can run an HRV with air conditioning—assuming that you decide to keep the system on during the summer. The HRV will continue to bring in fresh outdoor air, which will then flow into your AC unit and cool down your home. It will also keep moving the stuffy indoor air out of your house.

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.

To extend your HVAC system’s lifespan, it’s crucial to keep up with maintenance. This includes changing filters and thermostat batteries, keeping the outside unit clean and clear of clutter, and lubricating moving parts. Watch out for leaks, mold buildup, and blockages to ensure your unit stays in good working order. Spotting these issues early can be the difference between a simple, wallet-friendly repair and an expensive replacement.

When your AC contactor goes bad, you might hear chattering or buzzing noises coming from your air conditioner. You may also notice that your AC is running but isn’t cooling your home. In some cases, your air conditioner might not even turn on at all. There could also be physical damage, discoloration, or corrosion around the contactor.
