"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."

"Alanis Air did a great job with my HVAC project. John Alanis answered all my questions and worked with me in deciding which system I should choose when replacing my very old system. His crew completed the work in one day, cleaned up the area and disposed of my old system. They were very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend Alanis Air for any of your HVAC needs! Thank you John, Santiago, Angel and Ismael :-)"

"Thermostat was out for some reason. Technician spent half an hour testing. Went to the furnace and A/C unit open each and tested. Not sure what he did and went back upstairs to the thermostat. He didn't say a word until I asked him what was the problem. He said apparently a connection (electrical) was loose. He went on to continue his business then left."

"Peter and his crew especially Jason did a fantastic work at my place in Blackhawk, CA. I was impressed with Pete's knowledge and honesty, had interviewed three other vendors prior. They install two HVAC units at my home and also provided awesome after sales service. I would recommend them highly to other. Thanks"

"These guys are just excellent! I made a few mistakes before I got lucky to find New Millennium HVAC. They were professional from the beginning to the end. Jose did a thorough job, cleaning the dryer vent. It was not a straightforward issue and I was afraid that we’d have to open the wall to cure the blockage. However, Jose was able to fix it. He’s an experienced professional excellent at his job, trustworthy and overall great to deal with. I’m a happy customer for years now and will rely on these guys for any HVAC related issues."

"Tony was knowledgeable and explained the step by step service to be performed and why it was important to a heating system for efficiency and general maintenance. I thought the price was not inexpensive. However, I chose Ramirex Duct Cleaning due to Tony's presentation. Tony and his 2 assistants were neat, efficient and careful. My 24 year old furnace blade system and 10 vents were cleaned as well as the dryer and vent system within 3 years. Tony took before and after pictures of each phase of the operation which was impressive."

"We received a call almost immediately after contacting Home Advisor and scheduled the technician for today 07/02. He arrived promptly, went to work on our problem and, because we've never had this type of work done before I can't comment on the cost...but I felt it was very reasonable. In fact, the technician, Tyler, is coming to our house tomorrow to check the HVAC."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Signs of a damaged evaporator coil include warm air from vents, frequent starts and stops without proper cooling, failure to turn on, refrigerant leaks, and unusual noises. If you suspect issues with your AC system or its components, it’s best to call an AC repair technician for proper diagnosis and repairs.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

A blocked return air vent can cause your HVAC system to work much harder and, therefore, less efficiently. The result is higher utility bills and poorer air quality. A blocked return air vent can also cause unpleasant dust, dander, and odors to linger in your home’s air.

Yes, ventless portable air conditioners exist, and not all standard portable air conditioners must be vented through a window.

Ventless portable units, often called evaporative coolers, do not have exhaust hoses. They use a water reservoir and a cooling pad to add moisture to the air, making it feel cooler. These units work best in dry climates because humid areas cannot absorb much additional moisture.

For standard portable air conditioners that do require venting, a window is not the only option; they can also be vented through a door, wall, or ceiling. However, it is essential to vent these units properly. Running a standard portable AC without venting it is counterproductive because it needs to expel heat to cool the room. Failing to do so will only increase the room's temperature.

If the air coming from your AC unit is cool but never quite cold, there are a few reasons this might be happening. For starters, it could signal that your refrigerant levels are low. If there are no other indications of this particular issue, like hissing noises or frozen refrigerant lines, anything from dirty filters to damaged condenser or evaporator coils could be responsible for the problem.
