"Our HVAC unit wasn't working and was recently repaired by another shop.  After a couple of weeks, it stopped working again.  The other repair shop couldn't figure out what was wrong...after replacing the board and fuses.  They claimed the unit was old and we needed an electrician to fix the electrical problem.
The appointment with Duke started off poorly...he forgot about the appointment.  After calling to ask where he was, he made it over in 45 mins.  We wanted Duke to give us an estimate to replace the Heater and A/C unit.  He took measurements and drafted up an estimate to replace the HVAC, roughly $4500.  Then he asked what was wrong with the unit.  Out of curiosity, he looked at the wiring and replaced the fuse.  After, the fuse blew out a number of time, he was able to figure out a wire had melted and was causing it to blow the fuse.
So after spending $300 with another company to replace the board and having the unit still not work, Duke was able to fix it for $150 (service call).  Then told us the unit should be good for another 5-10yrs.  He may have lost out on a $4500 job replacing the unit and getting only $150 for a service call, but he's going to be our first call the next time we ever have a repair job and eventually replace the unit.  It's great to find honest, competent repair guys like Duke!!  Thanks!

"I first contacted Valley to get a quote on how much it would cost to get air conditioning installed. I live in an older town home that is approximately 1100 sq. ft. They sent someone out to take a look and see what was involved. He was very professional and explained what was involved including getting permits from the city. He quoted the amount and provided me with an invoice. I contacted them 3 months later to say I was ready for the install. The installation turned out to be quite challenging due to the way my home is constructed, but Valley made it work. The service person had to stay a few hours longer but I wasn't charged anything extra for it. They stuck with the amount of the estimate that was quoted. It's only been a couple of months since the install, but I have to say my only complaint at this point is how cold it gets when I turn on the air. But that's a nice problem to have. :)"

"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."

"John did an amazing job with our HVAC system! From the moment he arrived, he was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. His workmanship was top-notch, and he made sure everything was working perfectly before he left. It?s hard to find someone who genuinely cares about doing quality work, but John definitely does. If you?re looking for an honest, reliable HVAC contractor who takes pride in what he does, I highly recommend John. I couldn?t be happier with the service!"

"I highly recommend Aire Serv of Campbell & Saratoga to anyone in need of HVAC services. Alton helped me find the right system that works for our home within my budget. Alton was knowledgeable and truly explained the different options & HVAC available that would fit for our home. Alton answered all my questions with patience and expertise. The installation crew (Rene & Julio) were on time and explained the complete removal our old system and installation of the new HVAC. They treated my home with respect, cleaned up thoroughly after the job. I like their attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right the first time. Thank you for making our home energy efficient. I'm happy with the results."

"Michael, the estimator, came out and got all the information. He was very professional and even talked about various different options including putting the heater in the attic. He was very knowledgeable. I chose to go with another company, but I believe that Albert Nahman Plumbing and Heating would have done a great job on the work proposed."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

While most air conditioners can last between 10 and 20 years, they will only last this long (or longer) if properly taken care of. Routine maintenance and inspections help keep your AC unit running in tip-top shape but understanding what factors will decrease its lifespan will also help keep your unit running cool.

Some things that shorten your AC’s lifespan include:

  • Extreme outdoor conditions, like high humidity or extensive salt spray 

  • Improper installation

  • Extended run times, either by the unit being too small or the thermostat setting too low

  • Not performing required maintenance

The standard HVAC warranty is around five years. Still, many brands offer an extension to 10 years if you register the product within a specific timeframe, typically 60 to 90 days post-purchase or HVAC installation. Over the past decade, warranty periods have substantially increased, shifting from 3-5 years in the 90s to the now-prevalent 10+ year warranties. Both warranty types cover parts failing due to manufacturer defects, incurring no additional costs. Some manufacturers provide extended warranties surpassing the usual 15- to 20-year window, though these often involve extra fees. 

Your heating and cooling systems cost you the most on your electric bill and make up 50% of your bill on average. Your washing machine, dryer, oven, and stove contribute significantly to your electric bill as well. Lights, fans, and smaller electronics add up, but aren’t the biggest energy consumers. You can reduce your power usage by setting optimal temperatures on your thermostat and investing in energy-efficient appliances.

The average cost to replace or install a new HVAC system is around $7,500. However, the price can range from $5,000 to $12,500, depending on factors like the size of your home, the type and brand of the unit, and your specific heating and cooling needs. If you only need to replace certain components, the cost will be lower; for example, a new AC unit can cost between $2,200 and $5,500, while a new furnace costs $3,200 to $6,000. If additional work like new ductwork is required, the total cost could be as high as $22,000. It's best to contact a local HVAC company for an accurate quote.

A frosty expansion valve that isn't blowing out cool air is a sure sign that it’s time to replace it. It might also be time to replace the TXV valve if your AC unit switches off soon after turning on or if you have poor airflow in your home.
