"I can't begin to speak more highly of George and the experience of hiring his company Honest and Fair Heating and Air to replace a full heating and air conditioning unit at my mother in laws house. I called and within a few short days a new system was up and running. The job was completed quickly, at the most reasonable price, and of the highest quality. I never felt oversold or under serviced in anyway. Hiring companies like Honest and Fair Heating and Air inspire me to find additional HVAC projects to have the chance to work with them again. I am sure I will be working with George again to install a zoning system at my place and whatever HVAC related I may need. If George could make copies of himself, the rest of the HVAC industry would be out of business!"
"Great company to work with. Prompt service, they answered all my questions, I would definitely recommend this company for all hvac purchases, repairs or installation needs."
"Best HVAC company I've had to deal with for a long time. very professional, courteous, goes beyond the job to get a repair or install done right and timely. they're also the best bargain and use superior equipment compared to other companies. from the moment I contacted them to the last details of the job they shine high above other irresponsible companies out there. I highly recommend them."
"Ken, the owner, came out and did the estimate personally. We decided we needed to get 3 estimates and asked the others to quote the same equipment Ken did. We had an old Carrier system which had given us no end of trouble installed by one of the big HVAC companies in town which I will never use again. We opted for a top of the line Trane system this time. Ken worked with us to adjust his bids to quote the same equipment that the others were quoting. We had Ken come out to do some duct sealing and cold air return enlargement a few years back, so we went to him first. Ken was easy to work with, on time and provided the lowest bid, so we went ahead. The crew showed up on time and installed the system in one day despite allowing for two. They did a thorough job, cleaned up after themselves and were very courteous and considerate. When we had the independent duct seal test done, the tester indicated that he was always happy to inspect their work, since it was consistently well done. When the county inspector came to sign off the permit, he seemed to feel the same way. This is a family company who consistently do good honest work and are easy to work with. We signed up for Golden Aire's maintenance program and they extended the labor warranty to 10 years. One of the other bids we got was from a larger company that sends us postcards pretty regularly even though we have not used them in the past. Their bids were 25-35% higher for the same equipment and they were a real pain to deal with, just getting the bids."
"Go Pro handled my air conditioning installation flawlessly. Their HVAC technicians were professional, efficient, and explained every step. My home is now perfectly cool, and I highly recommend them for any heating and cooling needs.""
"Advanced Airs team did an excellent job for us! Everything was completed just as explained to us in our quote. You are now our go to HVAC team. Thanks!"
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
When a compressor gets overheated in central air systems or heat pumps, it can still cool your home for a while until it eventually gives out. If the compressor is chronically overheated and no one addresses the root cause, it will create an incredibly expensive problem when your entire HVAC system breaks down and stops working altogether.
No, for two very important reasons. First, it’s illegal to release refrigerant into the air or ground since it can be toxic and cause environmental damage. Technicians typically pump old or extra refrigerant into separate tanks for special disposal. Second, without professional equipment to read refrigerant pressure and levels, plus the AC’s suggested requirements, it’s impossible to know if you’ve removed the right amount of refrigerant. Stay away from a DIY solution here and seek an expert with the right tools.
Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.
As mentioned above, not all HVAC Schrader valves are necessarily the same. While the valve core and pin or spring size on Schrader valves used for HVAC are generally similar, the valves are not all universal and interchangeable. The size of Schrader valves varies depending on whether it's used in an air conditioner, bicycle tire, or motor vehicle tire.
An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
