"Air conditioner was blowing ambient air only. Tried to contact my usual HVAC company and they were scheduled out 3 weeks because of the recent heat wave. I called 14 companies to check on availability and Comfort Energy was the only one who had an opening within the week. I confirmed with them and was very pleasantly surprised. They confirmed not only the day and time, but also the exact make, model, ans serial number of the unit to ensure they had all the information they needed. In the meantime, my husband was able to get the unit going by installing a new capacitor himself, which he had done in the past, but wanted to go ahead with the service call so we could have the whole system checked out in case there were other issues. The day before the appointment, I received a text confirming the appointment time. I asked that the service technician call 30 minutes before arrival, which he did. The technician, Nasser Pineda, is a fine representative for his company. He was polite, respectful of both my husband and me, and took time at the start of the service call to go over what he would be doing and how he hoped to provide us with the best service we had ever had. He said that the goal of Comfort Energy was to provide us with service above and beyond expectations. He did not fail us. He even wore booties so that he did not track dirt into the house. My husband followed him around asking questions and he was patient and knowledgeable. Nasser also told us about their yearly service plan which would ensure service checkups before the heat of the summer and for the heater before winter cold months. That, plus the guarantee that we would get priority appointment times even during heavy demand, has clinched our participation. Nasser and Comfort Energy know how to do it right; ensure that the client doesn't want to go anywhere else for their HVAC service."

"Smart Heating and Air Conditioning was very responsive and came out when we really needed them. We were without heat as our old furnace no longer worked and our AC was on its last leg. Mike came out to give us a quote which was the best out of three that we had. He went over all options with us and now we are very satisfied to have a new and efficient heating and AC system. They lived up to their name as well, by upgrading my thermostat to a WiFi one that added that SMART touch to my system."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.

It’s not customary to tip HVAC technicians, and most professionals won’t expect it. However, it’s a nice way of showing your appreciation for the work they do, especially if they come out in inclement weather or on a weekend or holiday to fix an emergency issue if your heat or AC goes out in extreme temperatures. A good tip would be between 10% to 20% of the total bill, depending on how above and beyond the tech goes for your repair and on the total cost of your HVAC repair or service. For something like a routine tune-up or scheduled maintenance, tips aren’t expected.

The general rule of thumb for figuring out how much AC tonnage you need in your home is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of space you need to cool, you’ll need one ton of AC cooling power. So, a 1,000-square-foot home will need 2 tons of AC power. 

To find a reputable HVAC company, start by researching providers in your area. Look for companies with mostly positive online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau’s website for customer complaints. Next, verify their credentials. Rule out any companies that aren’t licensed, as this is a requirement in some states and municipalities, and confirm they are insured. Once you have a shortlist, contact each professional to ask key questions: How many years of experience do you have? Do you hold any third-party certifications? Do you have experience working on my specific type of HVAC system or brand? Can you provide references? What is your per-hour pricing? Do you offer maintenance contracts for ongoing savings? Do you provide a warranty for your work?

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.
