"Alex was right on time, did a great job cleaning out the lint, even removed his shoes before entering the house, which I did not request him to do. We were very pleased with the service and will certainly do this again next year."

"I highly recommend Aire Serv of Campbell & Saratoga to anyone in need of HVAC services. Alton helped me find the right system that works for our home within my budget. Alton was knowledgeable and truly explained the different options & HVAC available that would fit for our home. Alton answered all my questions with patience and expertise. The installation crew (Rene & Julio) were on time and explained the complete removal our old system and installation of the new HVAC. They treated my home with respect, cleaned up thoroughly after the job. I like their attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right the first time. Thank you for making our home energy efficient. I'm happy with the results."

"Albert Nahman PHC installed new AC and Furnace for my house. I like them for several reasons -- 1. At first Tom explained in detail what equipment I need and how they work, and gave me a reasonable and detailed quote at end of the visit. 2. They offer interest free finance. 3. I got free upgrade for furnace when the original quoted is not available. 4. Their installer did good job, and cleaned up afterward. I highly recommend this company."

"These guys are just excellent! I made a few mistakes before I got lucky to find New Millennium HVAC. They were professional from the beginning to the end. Jose did a thorough job, cleaning the dryer vent. It was not a straightforward issue and I was afraid that we’d have to open the wall to cure the blockage. However, Jose was able to fix it. He’s an experienced professional excellent at his job, trustworthy and overall great to deal with. I’m a happy customer for years now and will rely on these guys for any HVAC related issues."

"I had been using another company and bought an A/C system from them and there were problems. Josh explained the previous company did not install it correctly. He identified and corrected the problems with the previous A/C installation and installed a new A/C system and gas furnace as well. He was very professional, easy to trust, and he did everything he said he was going to do and was on time. The price was reasonable and he is honest and has integrity!"

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

To reset your air conditioner, start by turning it off at the thermostat. Then, shut off power to the AC system at the circuit breaker. Some units have a dedicated "reset" button; if yours does, press and hold it for three to five seconds. If your air conditioner doesn't have a reset button, or if you are resetting it after a power outage, leave the circuit breaker off for at least 30 minutes to allow the system to reset itself. Afterward, turn the power back on at the breaker, turn on the AC from the thermostat, and set it to "cool" to test the system.

It is possible to add air conditioning to an older home, but it can be very expensive to do so. Expect to pay anywhere from $6,000 to $17,000 or more for the ductwork and AC unit. You’ll also have to hack into the home’s walls and ceilings to add ductwork, which can impact the aesthetics of an old home.

An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:

  • Furnaces: 15 to 30 years

  • Boilers: 20 to 35 years

  • Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years

  • Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years

  • Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years

You can buy a house with a 15-year-old HVAC system if you inspect the system for performance and budget for a replacement within the next three years. You can also negotiate the price with the sellers. Ask to look at the unit’s maintenance records and energy bills for the last two years to determine the shape of the HVAC system and its operating costs. Spend time in each room of the house to gauge if the HVAC keeps the home at a consistent temperature throughout.

When first installed, flex ducts shouldn’t cause airflow problems in your home. However, because flex ducts aren’t the sturdiest and require extra support, they lose their durability over time and begin to sag, which can inhibit airflow down the road. Also, if your flex ducts aren’t tight enough, your HVAC could work twice as hard for the same air pressure. If you’re worried about the airflow in your home, a rigid duct may be your best bet.
