"Crew showed up on time. Job was completed in an hour. Afterwards my entire home was covered in a layer of sheetrock dust. One crew member wiped the dining table and kitchen countertop. I was shocked at the amount of dust. I spent the next 2 days vacuuming everything including the walls! The bedspreads and comforters will require a trip to the dry cleaner. Additional cost! And NO the price did not include a new air filter!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I was out of town when my air conditioner stopped working. My mother called 2 companies to check it out. The repair men were interested in selling us a new unit not fixing it. I found NT Electric & HVAC online through Home Advisor while I was out of town. The company had good reviews. I called Nathan and scheduled an appointment. He assessed the problem and fixed it! I would highly recommend Nathan and his company. He does what s best for the customer. His prices are fair and reasonable. I would use him again."

"Unfortunately, I needed an HVAC company to fix my AC during a heat wave. Most companies were 5+ days out before they could even diagnose our problem. Called 3 highly visible companies, from their marketing, who said they wouldn't even work on our unit. I went with a referral from a neighbor, mistake. This company took a week to get to us then the tech went MIA for 5 days with no contact when he said he would be back tomorrow with parts. Won't mention their name as there could have been multiple uncontrollable reasons why. I then did a lot of research on different companies across multiple review websites (including Angies) and Excel Air stood out. Once I spoke to the office staff, great experience, they had a tech out to our home in 2 days with our problem diagnosed. Our tech's name was Lucas who was efficient with his time, talked me through what was going on and gave us our estimate which we were happy to move forward with. Lucas fixed our problem in under 20 minutes. Me being me, I watched each step and saw the quality work. He even put in a fuse to ensure the same problem didn't happen again to our transformer. Once he fixed everything and got our new thermostat power, our AC has been working perfectly ever since. I'm now a really big supporter of Excel Air. Their office staff worked with our insurance company after hours and actually updated us (what company does this these days) the entire way. I can't tell you how impressed I was from their office, Lucas and most of all their successful resolution of our problems with our AC. Thank you Excel Air!"

"In all of my life, I’ve never met a company who completely overdeliveredwhat I contracted them for. Professional, seamless transaction. We needed a new HVAC system and we called George Ramirez and his team and George visited. They came out to assess the situation, gave us several options and prices, came when we asked, replaced the unit.George came out as a follow up and was able to repair our AC and saved us so much money. I could not be happier and relieved. The warranty to cover the unit was incredible and we feel so pleased that he will be here if we need him. I mean it sincerely, this is thecompany to call!! Thank you So Cal Boys!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

At a minimum, an HVAC system should be serviced once per year. However, a twice-a-year service schedule—once in the spring for the cooling system and once in the fall for the heating system—is often recommended, especially for older systems, heat pumps, or in climates with extreme temperatures. Regular service, which includes inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, ensures the system runs efficiently, helps prevent costly breakdowns during peak seasons, and can extend the unit's lifespan. You can also schedule a service if you notice issues like poor performance or strange noises.

Yes, government incentives and programs are available to encourage energy-efficient upgrades in many regions. These incentives may include tax credits, rebates, grants, and low-interest loans for homeowners who invest in energy-efficient improvements such as HVAC system upgrades, insulation, and efficient windows. The availability and specific details of these incentives can vary by location, so check with your local government or utility company to explore your options.

While both have advantages, a split system is generally cheaper than a ducted one. Because they are less invasive to install, the labor costs are lower, and they can be more energy efficient. But, a ducted system might be worth the investment if you run it more frequently. 

ACs don't run on water. They're not connected to drain pipes or any part of your plumbing system. However, they need refrigerant to run. Refrigerant is a gas or liquid that has a low boiling point and absorbs the heat in your home. ACs need this in order to be functional and cool your home. If you suspect your AC is low on refrigerant, you need to contact a licensed HVAC professional. Refrigerant is a dangerous chemical that requires specialized training and permits to work with. 

Yes. It's normal for the AC compressor to cycle on and off intermittently in dry mode as it maintains the desired humidity level. The compressor cycles to prevent over-dehumidification and to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. This cycling behavior ensures efficient operation and optimal humidity control, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the dry mode function in your AC system.
