"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."

"Starting with JP the senior technician, the inspection and documentation of existing conditions was thorough, knowledgeable, and complete. Moore recommended the replacement system that would be more durable and require lower maintenance over time, and wrote a detailed proposal with a floor plan documentation. We were given financing options at the time of signing the agreement, as well. The team- five technicians!- were properly suited with protective gear and followed COVID protocols at all times on our property, inside and out. They wore shoe protectors while inside, kept us fully appraised at every task (all interior registers replaced in 11 rooms), and were extremely respectful of our space, privacy, pets, and kept noise and speaking to low levels. (our extremely friendly indoor cat got lots of attention from the team!) The work required three days to fully replace all ductwork in a two-story home with attic and crawl space, and Paul the team leader would check in with us each morning with a briefing of each days' activities. The entire team was constantly in learning mode, with the senior technicians mentoring and teaching the younger team members, which greatly impressed me. They finished on time and without any delay or disruption; they cleaned each work area and removed all debris, packaging, and the old system. We've owned this house for 20 years, had many repairs and replacements, and Moore has raised the bar so far for quality and value. While they were the middle bid in terms of overall cost, we believe we received higher value that even the highest bid. I can strongly recommend them to anyone planning repair work on their existing system, new installations, or maintenance. After getting few responses from HVAC contractors working in new homes in Sonoma County, we were pleased to know that Moore specializes in existing homes and responded to our online request within minutes. I'd be happy to share my experience in person, if required. Martin Waldron Sebastopol, CA"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can potentially save $60 to $200 by handling your own air conditioner capacitor installation. However, capacitor replacement comes with the risk of electric shock. Only attempt this if you have the knowledge and protective gear to carry it out safely. Otherwise, we recommend hiring an HVAC pro with the experience to properly diagnose the issue and avoid damaging other parts of your AC unit.

Deciding whether to replace just the AC coil or the entire system depends on the age of your unit and the overall cost. Replacing a coil is less expensive than a full system replacement, but it can still be a pricey repair. If your HVAC system is relatively new and still under warranty, or if the replacement cost is significantly lower than a new system, replacing the coil can be a worthwhile investment that restores efficiency and extends the unit's life. However, for older systems (nearing the end of their 10-15 year lifespan) or those with extensive damage, it is often more cost-effective to replace the entire AC unit. Mismatched coils in an older system can lead to inefficiency and future breakdowns, so a full replacement ensures optimal performance and avoids further costly repairs.

If your AC unit isn’t cooling and you haven’t figured out why, there are a few good reasons to turn it off ASAP. The source of the issue, whether that be leaking refrigerant or a broken compressor, will worsen and cause more damage to the overall unit the longer the machine is allowed to run. When in doubt, shut it down until you or an AC pro can ensure everything is working properly.

Yes, a dehumidifier and air conditioner can be used simultaneously in a home. A dehumidifier can bolster an air conditioner’s efficiency. Typically, a dehumidifier is used when the air conditioner alone cannot keep a home’s humidity levels at a comfortable indoor humidity level, which should, ideally, be between 30% and 50%.

One of the first signs of mold in an air conditioner is a musty smell. You're likely to notice the smell when the unit runs, from the air coming out of the vents or the unit itself. You may also be able to see mold growing on the unit, such as near the condenser coils or by the fan. In some cases, there may be visible mold by the vents.
