Customers say: Quick response

"This is a 5 Star Professional Business - I was very happy with the service they provided in cleaning my heater ducts and my Dryer Vent. They provided the best customer service I have seen in a very long time. Daniel recognized problems with my Dryer Vent as was quick to repair and clean it. I was amazed at the way he cleaned the vent out as for years I was paying Sears on contract to maintain my appliances and they were cleaning it out at the front of the dryer instead of the back of the vent. The vent that day was a fire hazard. Thank you Daniel and Jonah - They really live up to their Reputation as being the best in the service."

"Jeremy completed a challenging home re-wire project that involved snaking cable through ancient walls. I figured we’d all be covered in dust by the end of it, but he worked clean. He did what he could to minimize drywall repair, and he was flexible when the scope of the project increased. Super easy to work with. Highly recommended"

FAQs for heating and air conditioning service projects in Salinas, CA

Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.

While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.  

The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.

Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
