A friend gave me the name of Dry Air Systems, and specifically recommended that I speak with Richard Wilson--one of the company's experts and chief estimators. I contacted Richard and over a period of about 6 months we noodled around with what would be the best, most cost effective solution for our situation. Richard could not have been more patient. No matter how many times we called him with a new idea, he was always willing to explore the option. Since cost was a consideration, and we wanted to save as much as we could using what we had, Richard evaluated our existing set-up first. Because the original ducting was so bad, we could not use it. It simply didn't make sense to add a new furnace with an air conditioning component to a convoluted patchwork of ducts. Plus, we didn't really want to stick with oil. It's an obsolete alternative with very low efficiency. Propane was a much more efficient option, but we would have had to replace the deducting and add a larger propane tank to make a gas system viable. UGH! Then Richard suggested a ductless system with a heat pump. He gave us two options--Lennox that offered 100% interest free financing or Mitsubishi which had no financing but a rebate and better motor and warranty. We went with the Mitsubishi and could not be happier. Everything was just as Richard had predicted. The crew of four from Dry Systems was one of the most professional I have ever had in my home. Led by Jamie Caldwell, they were careful, immaculate, knowledgeable, and extremely thoughtful about selecting locations and best options for wiring, ducting, vents and the compressor itself. Overall an outstanding experience. BTW, we had 2 other bids, and Dry Systems was about 20% less than their nearest competitor. A win win for us!

We were fooled into believing he was capable of doing this work. After two months of asking when the job (which should have taken no more than a week to complete) would be finished, we realized the guy was over his head and we needed to find out why this job was not getting done. We had 4 A/C contractors inspect his work. All of them agreed the work was poorly done and incomplete and felt sorry for us. In addition to not making the attic access wide enough to comply with city building codes, he did not put in a cat walk or a working furnance platform (both are also building code requirements), the furnace was not earthqauke strapped down, the bypass damper was not installed properly, (it was connected to the end of the duct board coil which allowed too much air to flow through the bypass damper, a manuel damper was needed to decrease the amount of air flowing through the bypass damper), a second bypass arm and weight were never installed, there was a missing wire in the zone board and the wires were not hooked up, the vent pipe was installed unprofessionally and had to be re-routed, and the A/C unit was the wrong unit and he could not get it to operate properly and blamed it on the unit. Signs you have hired the wrong contractor: *comes late in the morning, then leaves, returns and leave before all the other contractors *repeatedly tells you every time he shows up he only news a few more hours to complete the job which is never finished *does not clean up after he makes a mess and leaves it and his tools laying around in the way of other contractors *tries to convince you that you do not need to comply with city building codes *tells you your getting a two zone system and then says later than it was just for the furnace not the A/C (why would want it just for the heating and not for both heating and A/C?) We ended up using another contractor to finish the work and they were clean and professional. What a difference.

The cleaners at Combat Cleaning are amazing! They took my house from poor shape to looking great! Very friendly as well!
Our home was built in the 1930's and the heating system was original to the house. It was not only very inefficient and expensive to run, but the heat it provided was barely worth the effort. This year we made the conscious decision to insulate and upgrade to a split system that provided both...

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts
When your HVAC system is loud, a few different causes are possible. If you have loose connections or bolts in the hardware, they can rattle as the system runs and vibrates. If you have an extremely dirty furnace filter, it could cause the system to generate noise. More commonly, an excessively loud HVAC system indicates a malfunction in the system. You may have a blower motor that is close to failing or a compressor that is breaking down. These issues require an immediate inspection.
Yes, rust in ductwork is bad if it’s left untreated. Mild rust can be removed before it causes any significant damage. However, if you ignore rust, it can affect the structural integrity of the ductwork, and you’ll eventually need to replace it entirely. In addition, rust-causing moisture in ducts can also cause mold growth.
To unclog an air duct, you’ll need to hire an air duct specialist to clean the ductwork. Air ducts are too tricky for a homeowner to access without special equipment, so a pro must thoroughly clear out a clog caused by dust and dirt buildup. However, if furnishings block your air ducts, you can move the furniture away from the vents to get the system to work correctly again.
If you have a forced-air heating system, it’s important to have it professionally inspected at least once per year. During one of these visits, your contractor will look at all of the components of your HVAC system, including your furnace or heat pump, air conditioner, and ducts. On average, an HVAC inspection costs $300. It’s also important to perform basic maintenance between inspections, such as changing your filters and cleaning dust from around your vents.
Ductwork should be thoroughly cleaned at least every three to five years. An air duct cleaning specialist will need to clean and inspect the ductwork for any leaks or other damage. You can also help keep the air ducts clean by changing out air filters every 30 to 90 days.
