"Worked with Tim - was looking for new HVAC system. He was honest and provided the best price for what you got (literally thousands of dollars cheaper from other options I was finding). Was very communicative and easy to work with. He made sure to educate you on the ins-and-outs of HVAC systems, and did not try to upsell you like other companies might do. He and Efficiency Air definitely got me as a new continued client."

"AC was repaired timely and professionally by Tommy and his helper and then Juan and Edgar followed up two days later by installing blown in cellulose insulation in my attic to help ensure the efficient operation of my HVAC system. It's been hellaciously hot this past couple of weeks, yet these guys all did a bang up job, despite the heat. Fair price, professional, personable and efficient service. I would definitely recommend The Right Choice Heating and Air team to friends and neighbors!"

"Mike reached out to me on a Sunday morning after having gone to Home adviser after my previous AC guy refused service. He showed up when he said he would. Diagnosed and explain the situation and parts that needed replacement and considering part was all the way in Maryland he came thru for me and I'm very grateful for his services. Needed A/C working with this heat. Thank you Mike."

"We chose Bob and Air Flow Pros after an extensive search and comparison of different companies that offered duct cleaning. From the moment he picked up the phone, Bob was confident, caring, helpful and knowledgeable. He made me feel sure he would take pride in getting the job done, and done the right way. The ducts in our home smelled badly of dog from the previous owners, so bad we couldn't stand to use the air system at all. Bob was very understanding and fit us into his schedule within a week, when other, more expensive companies were scheduled 4-6 weeks out. When Bob and Sam came they were both friendly, professional and competent, and our home air smells great now! We are so grateful we discovered Air Flow Pros. Thanks, Bob!"

"This was done to remove dust and odor coming from heating system which seems to be drawn from the air in the attic. Dust was improved but odor is still a problem. I will meet with them again this winter to work on further reducing the odor.

"I not only had an old furnace replaced but also had whole house air conditioning added. Very professional family business. Their estimate beat out two other HVAC businesses here in Lompoc⠦⠦ one of them by thousands of dollars. It paid to get three estimates. Daniel was easy to work with and honest. One of the other HVAC businesses in Lompoc is interested in selling you all kinds of stuff that increased his estimate by thousands of dollars. I highly recommend Ace Heating & AC."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Traditional central air conditioning systems require ductwork to circulate air throughout the home. Alternatively, you can add air conditioning with a mini-split ductless air conditioning system, which can be just as energy efficient as a central air conditioner. This type of system consists of two units–an outside unit that holds the compressor and condenser and an indoor unit that holds an air-handler. With multi-zone ductless systems, there are multiple indoor air handlers tied to a single outdoor compressor/condenser, allowing the system to cool multiple rooms.

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.

While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
