"Eddie and Lennon are pros. They were the first company to call back after leaving a message I need help. I hired them to check the air conditioning and discovered it had a big leak. After looking and talking, the system including the furnace needed to be replaced. I decided to change the system after negotiating a price and they started to take out the old air conditioner and heater that afternoon and come back the next morning to install the new system. I asked Eddie if he could install a Nest Learning Thermostat I had purchased and he said no problem. They did cleaned up like they were never there. The new system works perfectly and with less noise too. Champion Aire Heating and Air Conditioning was the right choice to hire. Very satisfied customer and would hire them again for maintenance when needed."

"Showed up as scheduled and was able to get one cooler working and the other one started to work but the pump went out! Since these are the Hessaire coolers from Home Depot, the pumps are not standard! Tech showed me the pump model and how to replace it! He did not charge me for the visit! A+++"

"I had used Ed before with my other house. I recently hired him to clean the dryer duct at my other house. When he moved the dryer, he saw that there was a lot of lint in the body of the dryer (a fire hazard). Because he could access it, he cleaned it all out as well as the duct. The air flow is perfect. I recommend Ed and Air Duct Professionals highly. I have used his company two times, and I am extremely satisfied."

"Daniel from AC Doctor Heating and Air Conditioning provided outstanding service from start to finish. He quickly diagnosed the issue with my unit and was able to get everything back up and running the very same day, which I truly appreciated. Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain what the problem was and how he planned to fix it. His responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to customer service really stood out. You can tell he takes pride in his work and wants to make sure the job is done right the first time. I highly recommend AC Doctor Heating and Air Conditioning to anyone looking for fast, honest, and high-quality HVAC service. Excellent experience overall!"

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Keeping your air filter clean is crucial for your heat pump's efficiency. As a general rule, you should check your air filter every 1 to 3 months. However, the actual frequency might vary depending on factors like the type of filter, indoor air quality, and the amount of dust and debris in your area. If you notice the filter is visibly dirty or clogged, it's a clear sign it needs attention sooner. Regular filter maintenance ensures proper airflow and helps your heat pump perform optimally, keeping your indoor air fresh and comfortable.

It depends on the size of the space you’re cooling down. If you’re looking for the most affordable way to cool an entire house over a long period of time, then central air will be more cost-effective. But when it comes to cooling down a couple of rooms or one floor, a window unit may be the cheaper option, with both a lower cost to install and less energy used to run.

Replacing an HVAC system does not always include new ductwork. The decision depends on the condition of your existing ducts. If they are in good shape, correctly sized for the new unit, and meet current standards, they can often be reused. However, if the ducts are damaged, poorly designed, or improperly sized, they will likely need to be replaced or upgraded to ensure the new system operates efficiently. An HVAC contractor will assess your ductwork and recommend the best course of action. Typically, ductwork is purchased separately, and a full replacement will add to the overall project cost.

HVAC companies may charge an hourly rate or a flat fee. Hourly rates typically range from $100 to $250 per hour, with an average around $175. Some contractors charge a flat fee for specific services, such as an inspection, which can cost between $150 and $500. The total cost of an HVAC service is influenced by several factors, including: the urgency of the service (emergency repairs after hours or on holidays cost more), the time of year, the type, size, and brand of your HVAC system, the specific repair needed, and whether you have a service contract.

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.
