"I highly recommend Charlie Nelson's company next level heating and air conditioning. He had to make an extra trip to Home Depot for $2.00 part and he did not add that to his original quote of $309. The $309 included his labor and time. That's what he originally quoted and he stuck to it."

"Chance patiently explained the issue with our broken air conditioner and clearly laid out all of our options. We elected to change out our aging HVAC system and he moved his schedule around to accommodate us. They were punctual and kept us informed every step of the way. The work was thorough, neat as a pin, and came in exactly as quoted even though he hit a few unexpected snags. I know it seems like a small thing, but he and his partner seem to really enjoy their work, and their attitude is upbeat. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!"

"It's been a couple months since Zach with McDonald's Home Solutions analyzed our air-conditioning needs and had Potts and Vince install the Mitsubishi heat pump and duct work. They were amazing and very hard working. The system is working great and makes a huge difference in the comfort level of our house. It's extremely quiet. It operates like a whisper and we hardly know it's on other than the house is cooler. I checked the energy use of the system against our solar panel productions and it hardly makes a difference. It's amazingly efficient. I strongly recommend anyone considering installation of an HVAC system to use McDonald's Home Solutions. They're the best."

"Jim's Air Systems had the best value for my dollar. They supplied me with better equipment than they quoted for the same price. They completed the entire installation in about five hours. They protected my floors with tarps and were very careful to protect my walls as they moved equipment in and out. Josh, the son of the original Jim, was on the job working with the other two installers. They performed above my expectations. They left my home and yard as clean as if they had never been there. The new furnace is wonderful and is already saving me money on my P.G. & E. bill. I would recommend Jim's Air Systems unconditionally to anyone in need of a new furnace and AC system. This is a family business that has been supplying and installing systems since 1976. They take personal pride in doing an excellent job. They did not sell me anything that I did not need and provided me with a much cleaner and easier-to-service installation than my existing system. They are the best!"

"Green Core HVAC was awesome to work with! The team did a great job helping us pick the perfect AC unit for our home. They showed up on time, got the new AC installed quickly, and left the place spotless. Our house is cooler and more comfortable than it’s ever been. You can tell these guys really care about doing a great job. I’d 100% recommend Green Core to anyone needing AC work. Super professional, super friendly, and they really know what they’re doing!"

"Rick and his team were awesome. They were very thorough, put everything they moved in my garage back and Rick made sure to have me check both the heater and AC once installation was complete. He also installed my smart thermostat for me. I would highly recommend Rick and his team."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

No, it's not safe to keep using your unit when it's frozen. Not only can running a frozen unit lead to damage, but it can also potentially overheat, making it a fire hazard. Therefore, it's always best to turn off the AC unit as soon as you notice any ice.

A calculation method that your HVAC contractor will use to ensure your system does what it's supposed to is measuring duct output, or its CFM. The calculation requires knowing the cross-sectional area of the ductwork and determining the air speed past any given point within it.

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.

No, you don’t need a ductless unit in every room. Ductless AC units don't work the way that window units do, where the air doesn't travel outside that room. The indoor air handlers all attach to the outdoor condenser. While the air doesn't travel the way that traditional ductwork would, the ductless AC units create zones so that one part of the home can be cooler than another. They can spread effectively enough that indoor units only need to be placed in main living areas.

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.
