"We hired Airmercia Air Conditioning & Heating to evaluate our heating system and propose repair solution. Ryan was very professional and punctual. He did not make any force sales. He just offered various repair and replacement solutions and explained pros and cons for each one. We decided to replace our furnace and duct system. Ryan did an excellent Job!! I highly recommend him for your HVAC project."

"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!"

"They were actually a second opinion for my non-working air conditioner but I went with them because they were very thorough and cheaper then the first company that looked at it. They replaced the same part as the first company quoted but were about $400 cheaper. They also managed to get the part in 2 business days where the other company said over a week. I didn't sacrifice cost for service though, they did a great job and now my AC works better than ever. I would definitely use them again. Another added bonus was that the repairman was a Air Force reservist and I am happy to support our troops and happy to support a company that also supports our troops.

"I was really impressed with the service provided by Nadav and he is team. I have a thirty year old home that still had the original HVAC systems. One located in the attic and the other underneath the house. Neither of these installations was simple. The Sky Clean Air team quoted me two days to remove and install new systems. The install crew was really professional, courteous and hard working. The underneath the house install was especially difficult with a tight crawl space in a less than hospital environment. These guys were not a show up at 10 leave at 3 pm crew.......they worked long hours both days to ensure they met the promised schedule.They kept me informed any issues throughout the installation process so there were no surprises. At the end of two days we had two beautifully installed systems that now cool our 4000 sq ft house in a matter of an hour instead of the 4 or 5 the old system required. I feel that the pricing they gave me was very fair and at the end of the job I felt like I got more value than what I paid. I would certainly use them again in the future."

"My ac, heater, and thermostat all went out at the same time. I called an hvac company and they said I needed a new furnace and ac and it'd be $12k. I called Heating and Air 365 to try to get a cheaper quote on a new system. Tommy came out and said the system was fine. It just had a short in the thermostat wires by the ac, my dog must have chewed through them. He replaced the wires and fixed something in the furnace and everything is working great. He saved me thousands. It's refreshing to see some honesty out there. He's got my business for life."

"At the beginning of the heatwave last week, I received a call from the family renting my condo in East County and they informed me that the AC stopped working. I tried a half dozen HVAC companies and none of them were available to provide service until the end of the week. I received a call from JMS West HVAC and they were available to provide service on that same day! Within two hours, the AC unit was repaired and my rental family was safe for the long hot week. The JMS repair crew was extremely professional and took care of business. Thank you!"

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, AC coil cleaning is definitely worth it. Cleaning your AC coils ensures your AC unit will function efficiently for the long term. Dirty and grimy AC coils make your unit work harder to cool your home, resulting in higher electric bills. Additionally, having your coils professionally cleaned regularly will reduce the possibility of extensive maintenance and repair costs.

You will only need to refill your AC with refrigerant if it has a leak. Otherwise, a modern, well-maintained AC will most likely never need a recharge. You may notice a leak in an older system if your bills are higher, you hear a hissing sound, or if the air is blowing out hot.

There are a few ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. Keep the unit clean for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a window AC specialist near you to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.

While you’ll pay more upfront for a brand-new HVAC unit, you can save money in the long run. Here’s how to save on your new HVAC system:

  • When purchasing a high-efficiency system, your energy bills will be lower in the future.

  • You may be eligible for special offers from your local energy company.

  • Depending on the system, you may be eligible for HVAC rebates and tax credits.

  • Choose to replace your air conditioning unit and furnace simultaneously to save on labor and installation costs.
