There were a few hiccups that came with replacing the old tank heater and working with the old plumbing of the home, but Jax Mechanical were able to solve any problems that popped up. Michael was also proactive in the initial discussion and found that our PRV needed replacing which was something we were glad he found before it led to any long term issues."

"My AC's secondary drain was leaking due to a clogged primary line. Daryle from Cool Air quickly identified the issue and cleared the clog under the master bathroom sink — about a gallon of water came out instantly. The final charge was a bit more than quoted, but Daryle was honest, efficient, and didn’t try to upsell anything. After bad experiences with Service Champions — who I believe sabotaged my system — working with Cool Air was a relief. Vadim, the owner, was also great to talk to. I’ll be using them again."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

No, heat pump maintenance needs are very similar to air conditioners, including keeping outdoor units clean, changing filters regularly, and occasionally scheduling a refrigerant check to see if any has leaked out. Heat pumps typically switch automatically between heating and cooling, so you don’t need to worry about manually changing them every season. However, since they are always on call, they can develop wear and tear faster than an air conditioner.

HVAC quotes may be negotiable. It’s important to be upfront about what you need, your budget, and your expectations. However, your contractor must suggest repairs or the system they think is best for you, and those things may not be negotiable. So, when can you negotiate an HVAC quote? When installing a new system, you may not need to replace ductwork or install specialty items such as whole-home air purifiers. If your contractor is bidding on those items or others you don’t need or want, ask them for a quote on only the equipment and services you need.

Most HVAC service calls include diagnostic fees, which could include checking on a specific issue you’re experiencing or running through a routine inspection checklist. If you called for a particular problem, the service call will also include an estimate to fix the issue, including materials and labor. Depending on your HVAC technician and the service you requested, you might also get a general inspection of your system components to ensure everything is working as intended.

Window ACs use 500 to 1,400 watts per hour of electricity, while mini-splits use 500 to 700 watts per hour. However, if you need to cool multiple zones in your house, your mini-split can use as much as 2,000 watts per hour. How often you run your system will impact how much electricity you use (and how much you pay per month).

The standard HVAC warranty is around five years. Still, many brands offer an extension to 10 years if you register the product within a specific timeframe, typically 60 to 90 days post-purchase or HVAC installation. Over the past decade, warranty periods have substantially increased, shifting from 3-5 years in the 90s to the now-prevalent 10+ year warranties. Both warranty types cover parts failing due to manufacturer defects, incurring no additional costs. Some manufacturers provide extended warranties surpassing the usual 15- to 20-year window, though these often involve extra fees.
