"Our HVAC unit wasn't working and was recently repaired by another shop.  After a couple of weeks, it stopped working again.  The other repair shop couldn't figure out what was wrong...after replacing the board and fuses.  They claimed the unit was old and we needed an electrician to fix the electrical problem.
The appointment with Duke started off poorly...he forgot about the appointment.  After calling to ask where he was, he made it over in 45 mins.  We wanted Duke to give us an estimate to replace the Heater and A/C unit.  He took measurements and drafted up an estimate to replace the HVAC, roughly $4500.  Then he asked what was wrong with the unit.  Out of curiosity, he looked at the wiring and replaced the fuse.  After, the fuse blew out a number of time, he was able to figure out a wire had melted and was causing it to blow the fuse.
So after spending $300 with another company to replace the board and having the unit still not work, Duke was able to fix it for $150 (service call).  Then told us the unit should be good for another 5-10yrs.  He may have lost out on a $4500 job replacing the unit and getting only $150 for a service call, but he's going to be our first call the next time we ever have a repair job and eventually replace the unit.  It's great to find honest, competent repair guys like Duke!!  Thanks!

"I first contacted Valley to get a quote on how much it would cost to get air conditioning installed. I live in an older town home that is approximately 1100 sq. ft. They sent someone out to take a look and see what was involved. He was very professional and explained what was involved including getting permits from the city. He quoted the amount and provided me with an invoice. I contacted them 3 months later to say I was ready for the install. The installation turned out to be quite challenging due to the way my home is constructed, but Valley made it work. The service person had to stay a few hours longer but I wasn't charged anything extra for it. They stuck with the amount of the estimate that was quoted. It's only been a couple of months since the install, but I have to say my only complaint at this point is how cold it gets when I turn on the air. But that's a nice problem to have. :)"

"Air conditioner was blowing ambient air only. Tried to contact my usual HVAC company and they were scheduled out 3 weeks because of the recent heat wave. I called 14 companies to check on availability and Comfort Energy was the only one who had an opening within the week. I confirmed with them and was very pleasantly surprised. They confirmed not only the day and time, but also the exact make, model, ans serial number of the unit to ensure they had all the information they needed. In the meantime, my husband was able to get the unit going by installing a new capacitor himself, which he had done in the past, but wanted to go ahead with the service call so we could have the whole system checked out in case there were other issues. The day before the appointment, I received a text confirming the appointment time. I asked that the service technician call 30 minutes before arrival, which he did. The technician, Nasser Pineda, is a fine representative for his company. He was polite, respectful of both my husband and me, and took time at the start of the service call to go over what he would be doing and how he hoped to provide us with the best service we had ever had. He said that the goal of Comfort Energy was to provide us with service above and beyond expectations. He did not fail us. He even wore booties so that he did not track dirt into the house. My husband followed him around asking questions and he was patient and knowledgeable. Nasser also told us about their yearly service plan which would ensure service checkups before the heat of the summer and for the heater before winter cold months. That, plus the guarantee that we would get priority appointment times even during heavy demand, has clinched our participation. Nasser and Comfort Energy know how to do it right; ensure that the client doesn't want to go anywhere else for their HVAC service."

"Global Comfort installed a full HVAC system in my home; 7 new runs for air, new AC unit, new furnace and a new Nest thermostat, all electrical needs. Rudy and his team are respectful, efficient, punctual, competitive in pricing. Rudy walked me through running the system for its first time and explained all the stuff for a brand new system in a house that never had AC. I'm very thankful for the work they did. Highly recommend because their customer service is top notch."

"John the owner was very knowledgeable of the current trend and recommended the perfect unit after visiting and assessing my property. He recommended and Daikin brand which happened to be on my mind. We needed a total of 6 mini split units and he provided a quote that was reasonable. But his team completed the installation within less than average time and were very professional in their handling of the overall installation experience. I felt pretty good dealing with Alanis Air HVAC."

"Michael, the estimator, came out and got all the information. He was very professional and even talked about various different options including putting the heater in the attic. He was very knowledgeable. I chose to go with another company, but I believe that Albert Nahman Plumbing and Heating would have done a great job on the work proposed."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The size window AC you need depends on the BTU and the size of the room you’re cooling. For a room with 8-foot ceilings, look for about 20 BTU per square foot of the room. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room should have an air conditioner with 2,880 BTU. You can buy something slightly more powerful, but don’t overshoot the BTU for a small room, or you’ll waste energy and have higher bills.

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. 

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.

Your heating and cooling systems cost you the most on your electric bill and make up 50% of your bill on average. Your washing machine, dryer, oven, and stove contribute significantly to your electric bill as well. Lights, fans, and smaller electronics add up, but aren’t the biggest energy consumers. You can reduce your power usage by setting optimal temperatures on your thermostat and investing in energy-efficient appliances.

The time it takes for an air conditioner to dry fully after cleaning depends on the unit's size and humidity levels. Most units will dry within two to four hours after cleaning, but check the manufacturer's recommendations for drying times. Make sure to leave the unit off until it's completely dry.

Absolutely! You can seriously improve the overall value of your home by maintaining high-quality, compatible systems for heating and cooling. Potential buyers will love not having to worry about getting a new HVAC unit for 15 to 20 years and will pay more for it. For maximum efficiency and cost savings, replacing the furnace and air conditioner at the same time, when possible, gives you (and potential future buyers) reliable comfort and modern convenience.
