"I had AC Dave preform three jobs for me over the past few years. (1) New ducts a few years ago. (2) Installed a mini-split heat pump in master bedroom this year. (3) Then a few months later I had him remove my old Central AC and replace it with an 18 SEER heat pump and new coil, all the while leaving my old furnace in place as a back up. Dave and his guys did a great job on all three projects, completing each one in a day. Highly recommended."

"Wife: With all the heat wave stuff, this summer really hasnâ t been that bad for us so far. Me: Hm, maybe thatâ s because of our new air conditioning installed by Efficiency Air! After talking to many HVAC estimators, I started to feel like the amount bid went up the more they talked (something something hot air). Dean with Efficiency Air is a professional installer who was not like that. Dean listened to my needs, giving me two options. And while I was not initially in the market for a heat pump, the cost convinced me. After a few months, we could not be happier with the choice. Money well spent."

"Sean was great about repairing my disconnected dryer air duct having to go into the crawl space and figure out what was going on. I'm glad he was able to get it done very quickly as well. He also had a very good attitude about doing the work."

"I highly recommend Belle Air Services! From the first moment I called to get a quote, to the moment they finished the job, I could not have asked for better customer service, top notch work, and competitive pricing. They communicated with me all throughout the process, made sure I understood everything that would be done, were on time, protected my home and were clean. They even worked very well with my HOA (who is very tough!). And to top it off, they didn't try to up-sell me as other HVAC contractors have in the past. So pleased that I have found this HVAC company!!"

"I highly recommend Top Energy Solutions. During the heat wave my air conditioning system blew out hot air. I expected to wait days for a technician to come out. Leor sent one the next morning. The technician quickly located the problem and fixed it within minutes. Their employees are professional, courteous and very knowledgeable."

"Simply put, Robs amazing. Years and years of HVAC experience ooze from this honest and caring guy. Did my install and then some for a more than fair price instead of what the other Angi pros wanted. He’s now my go to guy for any and all AC & Heating issues. Oh and he showed up exactly at the time he told me he would. Amazing"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Ernie from Upright Construction! He came out to check our AC because it just wasn’t keeping up during this awful heat wave. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, honest, and took the time to explain exactly what was going on in a way we could understand. What really stood out was that he never tried to upsell us or pressure us into unnecessary repairs. It genuinely felt like he wanted to help us fix the problem instead of making an extra dollar, which is so hard to find these days. Thanks to Ernie, our AC is now working amazingly, and our house is finally cool again. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and would absolutely recommend Ernie and Upright Construction to anyone looking for honest, reliable HVAC service!"

"The company is top notch professional from the minute we met them. From the contract negotiations, delivery of materials and instillation, they were amazing. The installers gave us good advice about where we thought the unit might go to be placed in a more efficient noise cancelling area. I recommend this company to anyone who has air conditioning needs."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a ductless mini-split AC system ranges from $2,000 to $14,000, depending on the type of unit, the number of zones or rooms, and the complexity of the installation. On the low end, a system for one or two zones in a single room costs around $2,000. Covering two zones for more rooms can cost between $6,000 and $8,000. For a larger multi-zone system to cover an entire home, costs can be $14,000. If you don’t already have an AC system in place, you may need to add the cost of permits, an electrician, and a concrete pad.

This is a bit of a trick question. Even though the seasons arrive at the same time every year, the weather doesn’t always behave according to the calendar. So, while it’s fair to say that you can expect to turn on your AC starting in late May or early June, it all depends on the outside temperature and how cool you like to keep your home.

This depends on the extent of the freezing. Some ACs only need an hour or two to thaw out, but others may need a full day to completely unfreeze. Once you turn off the system to let it unfreeze, check it periodically to make sure the drain pan doesn’t overflow. When you turn the system back on, keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t start freezing again.

Your central A/C unit should be professionally serviced and inspected at least once a year to ensure it operates properly and efficiently. This is best done before the peak cooling season. A full-service inspection by a qualified pro will typically include checking safety components for issues like carbon monoxide leaks, verifying cooling components and coolant levels, and inspecting electrical parts like fuses and wiring. Regular servicing enhances efficiency, mitigates potential problems, and maintains optimal performance. Because AC systems contain hazardous refrigerant, professional handling is essential.

While you’ll pay more upfront for a brand-new HVAC unit, you can save money in the long run. Here’s how to save on your new HVAC system:

  • When purchasing a high-efficiency system, your energy bills will be lower in the future.

  • You may be eligible for special offers from your local energy company.

  • Depending on the system, you may be eligible for HVAC rebates and tax credits.

  • Choose to replace your air conditioning unit and furnace simultaneously to save on labor and installation costs.
