"Crew showed up on time. Job was completed in an hour. Afterwards my entire home was covered in a layer of sheetrock dust. One crew member wiped the dining table and kitchen countertop. I was shocked at the amount of dust. I spent the next 2 days vacuuming everything including the walls! The bedspreads and comforters will require a trip to the dry cleaner. Additional cost! And NO the price did not include a new air filter!"

"Angel was the first one to come out and ran the diagnostics on our old AC unit. With the use of a camera, he showed us the rust, decay and water damage inside. His knowledge was vast, and, if the pictures weren't enough, he was upfront and honest that we should replace the entire system before more damage was done. Also, compared to other HVAC specialists' quotes that we received none were better than MSP's. It felt great knowing that we got a great deal. Within a few days, a mighty team of two, Nate and Jose began replacing our ancient AC with a more powerful one that would cool our 2-story house from top to bottom. The guys were courteous, professional, and extremely hard working. Besides the excellent job of cleaning up, they also installed a new thermostat and took the time to show my wife and I how to use it. In the end, no one like's when their AC breaks down, especially during a hot California summer, but Angel, Nate and Jose saved the day. So to those 3 guys, thank you for keepin' us COOL!"

"My 26 year old central air system went out on a Thursday night.  I called Liberty Friday morning and the sales manager for Liberty came to the home the same afternoon. After discussing details, options and answering all of my questions, I accepted their contract to replace my 5 ton ac and furnace. The price was fair and all of the work was completed the very next Tuesday.  Part of the installation involved enlarging the air return space under the furnace closet.  This improvement, along with the higher efficiency AC unit should keep me smiling this summer.  They also provided a programmable thermostat and set it up so the house will always be at my preferred temperature.  I won't even have to switch between cooling and heating when the seasons change.  I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and will definitely call Liberty for any plumbing problems I might have in the future.

"George is a true professional. He very patiently explained several options for replacing my hvac system. In the end I hired another pro for my project, only because they have been maintaining my system for many years. I would definitely consider George and SO CAL BOYS HEATING and AIR in the future."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes. Return air vents are responsible for gathering and pulling in the warmer air. Once they draw it in, your system conditions the air by removing the warmer molecules from it, allowing your air conditioner to dispense the cooler air back into your home. Not only does this create a more comfortable environment for you, but it also keeps your air conditioner from overworking, resulting in lower energy bills. 

This depends on the extent of the freezing. Some ACs only need an hour or two to thaw out, but others may need a full day to completely unfreeze. Once you turn off the system to let it unfreeze, check it periodically to make sure the drain pan doesn’t overflow. When you turn the system back on, keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t start freezing again.

While all portable AC units will collect moisture as part of their cooling and dehumidifying process, whether and how often you need to drain them depends on what kind of unit you have and the natural humidity levels where you live. For example, if you live in a very dry area and have a self-evaporating unit, you may not need to drain your portable AC very often at all. Some units may automatically drain collected moisture out the window through their exhaust vent.

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.

The DOE is phasing out AC units with SEER ratings that fall below 14 or 15. The exact minimum rating depends on your region. In the northern United States, new ACs must have a minimum SEER rating of 14, though you can still buy and install older systems as long as they were compliant when they were manufactured. In the southern and southwestern United States, you cannot buy or install older air conditioners with lower SEER ratings. The minimum rating is between 14.5 and 15, depending on the power of the unit.
