"I called them based on reviews on Angie's list. They were very responsive and quickly came over to look at our older air conditioning unit that was not working. They said that while they could repair, it was better to replace it with a new one because the unit was too old and repairs could not carry warranty. We agreed. The price quoted was reasonable. Richard and a co-worker did the work. They replaced both the AC and furnace units (Trane) with TempStar. Overall, we found Cool Air team to be professional and knowledgable. We have not yet used the AC given the weather has been nice but we will in summer for sure! There is 1 year warranty on labor and 10 years on the unit."

"Nathan and Gordon at Total Home Environmental are lifesavers! I was facing estimates of $10,000 to $20,000 to replace my entire AC and heating system but instead they indicated that my 25 year-old AC compressor could be resuscitated by thoroughly cleaning the terminals and adding a hard-start kit. No other HVAC technician that came out gave me this option but they pulled it off for a fraction of the price of a new install!!! They are honest and knowledgeable professionals! Thank you so much!"

"Chris came by for a normal AC tuneup and as he was finishing up, we told him about some issues with our dishwasher and master bathroom sink and asked if he knew a plumber. He took care of both our problems right then and there! I’m not sure there’s anything he can’t fix. Chris is our go to guy for EVERYTHING ac/furnace/plumbing and he should be yours too!"
After: brand new furnace with industrial grade filtration system. Re-wrapped ductwork with fiberglass free wrapping and acoustic soundproof closet/return cavity.
After: 2 Stage Variable Speed Furnace installed perfectly!
After: Properly sized, energy efficient, and installed to code.
Before: Homeowner had tried multiple times to get the pilot light ignited.

"Called in the morning, Bernie arrived in the afternoon and within 2 days we had a new AC unit located on the roof which requires a crane to install. I would highly recommend Air ASAP as you will not find anyone better nor any better price."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

As mentioned above, not all HVAC Schrader valves are necessarily the same. While the valve core and pin or spring size on Schrader valves used for HVAC are generally similar, the valves are not all universal and interchangeable. The size of Schrader valves varies depending on whether it's used in an air conditioner, bicycle tire, or motor vehicle tire.

For the most part, you should leave your AC fan in “auto” mode so that it only runs during a heating or cooling cycle. Keeping it in this position uses less energy, which equals lower utility bills. However, there are some situations where it’s better to leave your AC fan on, including if you have allergies or there are lots of people in your home.

When your HVAC technician mentions recharging your home AC unit, they’re referring to the process of topping off the unit with refrigerant, so the levels are properly maintained and pressurized. Normally, a properly functioning AC unit doesn’t need additional refrigerant, but AC units can develop leaks or other problems that decrease the amount of refrigerant needed.

You may never need an AC recharge if there are no leaks. However, if your AC unit has a leak that cannot be patched appropriately, you’ll need an AC recharge every time the freon level drops low enough that it disrupts your system—this could be once every two to three years. It all depends on the size and frequency of the leak.

An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:

  • Furnaces: 15 to 30 years

  • Boilers: 20 to 35 years

  • Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years

  • Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years

  • Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years
