"Could not be happier, texted just last night for someone to check my AC unit not running. Said they'd be here 12-2pm today, quick turnaround with these 100+ degree days. Anyway the tech lands here right at 12, troubleshoots the issue in 15 minutes, and was done and gone by 12:20. It was a simple condenser connection issue so only paid the initial consultation fee...would definitely use and recommend these guys again for any of my HVAC needs."

"Ken, the owner, came out and did the estimate personally. We decided we needed to get 3 estimates and asked the others to quote the same equipment Ken did. We had an old Carrier system which had given us no end of trouble installed by one of the big HVAC companies in town which I will never use again. We opted for a top of the line Trane system this time. Ken worked with us to adjust his bids to quote the same equipment that the others were quoting. We had Ken come out to do some duct sealing and cold air return enlargement a few years back, so we went to him first. Ken was easy to work with, on time and provided the lowest bid, so we went ahead. The crew showed up on time and installed the system in one day despite allowing for two. They did a thorough job, cleaned up after themselves and were very courteous and considerate. When we had the independent duct seal test done, the tester indicated that he was always happy to inspect their work, since it was consistently well done. When the county inspector came to sign off the permit, he seemed to feel the same way. This is a family company who consistently do good honest work and are easy to work with. We signed up for Golden Aire's maintenance program and they extended the labor warranty to 10 years. One of the other bids we got was from a larger company that sends us postcards pretty regularly even though we have not used them in the past. Their bids were 25-35% higher for the same equipment and they were a real pain to deal with, just getting the bids."

"Last summer, Ecology Air Innovations Inc did an excellent job of replacing my old HVAC system with the new system. Price point is very reasonable as compared to 4 other companies in town. Mark and Jake were punctual, knowledgeable and very competent. I waited 4 months to write a review to make sure of the results Overall, very satisfied with the service outcome. Highly recommended to anyone who have doubts with smaller local companies."
Old AC location in front of gate and next to pool equipment. Client opted to extend the lineset and electrical saving a lot of money instead of running new power and lines.

"I replaced one HVAC unit through Lee s Air last spring. From the initial quote to project completion everyone I interacted with was professional and knowledgeable. They answered my questions and provided updates along the way, arrived each day on time, and cleaned up the mess as they worked. I not only replaced a unit, but had to have two vents replaced, all ducting replaced, and my return vent doubled in size. I was pleased with how quickly them completed the task and that everyone I spoke with, in person and over the phone, knew the details of the job throughout the process. I m now finishing a winter inspection with the company and cannot say enough about how great this company is to work with. I highly recommend Lee s Air to anyone looking for quality and professionalism in a business choice."

"Andriy helped explain the steps needed to do the assessment on my HVAC issue. He was upfront with services and engaged me the whole time while performing his tasks. He resolved the issue that another company did not. I would hire him in a heart beat for the next project."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The average life span of an HVAC system is 15 to 20 years. Even if your old air conditioner is still functional, it isn't as energy-efficient as a newer system (especially one with an Energy Star designation). Older HVAC systems aren't as efficient, and the 10-year mark is when you should start making full system replacement plans. Twenty years in, that plan should be well underway rather than waiting for the unit to die.

For washable or electrostatic air conditioner filters, you can soak and rinse them with water. If you rinse the filter with water, make sure to use a faucet, shower head, or garden hose with a gentle water pressure setting, as strong water pressure could damage the filter.

But for disposable filters, water could ruin the filter, even allowing mold to grow in the filter. Instead, these filters should be replaced.

On average, an AC unit lasts between 10 and 20 years. However, the specific lifespan depends on the type of unit, how often it's used, the local climate, and the quality of maintenance. Central AC units typically last 12 to 17 years, while window units have a shorter lifespan of 8 to 10 years. Portable AC units last about 5 to 10 years, and ductless mini-split systems can last up to 20 years. To extend the life of your AC unit, it's important to perform regular maintenance, such as replacing filters, cleaning coils, and scheduling annual professional tune-ups.

A new air conditioner capacitor will cost less than replacing the entire air conditioner system. While a capacitor itself will cost between $8 and $25, paying a professional to replace an AC capacitor will cost $180 on average. It’s not safe to replace an air conditioner capacitor on your own. 

ACs don't run on water. They're not connected to drain pipes or any part of your plumbing system. However, they need refrigerant to run. Refrigerant is a gas or liquid that has a low boiling point and absorbs the heat in your home. ACs need this in order to be functional and cool your home. If you suspect your AC is low on refrigerant, you need to contact a licensed HVAC professional. Refrigerant is a dangerous chemical that requires specialized training and permits to work with.
