"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. :)"

"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

Don’t run your AC with a wet filter. It can cause your AC to work too hard, which will run up your utility bill and cause extra wear and tear on the system. You could also spread moisture and mold throughout your house. Turn off the AC, remove the wet filter, and check for cracks or clogs. Fix the problem (with a pro’s help, if you need it), and put a dry filter in place before you turn the system back on.

A dirty AC filter can lower the efficiency of your system, so depending on how dirty it was, you may notice a temperature difference when you clean your filter. You can try other solutions if your AC isn’t blowing as cold as it used to. You can call in a local HVAC tech to make sure everything is running correctly, fix your air seal if it’s a window unit, and clean your coils.

To find a reputable HVAC company, start by researching providers in your area. Look for companies with mostly positive online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau’s website for customer complaints. Next, verify their credentials. Rule out any companies that aren’t licensed, as this is a requirement in some states and municipalities, and confirm they are insured. Once you have a shortlist, contact each professional to ask key questions: How many years of experience do you have? Do you hold any third-party certifications? Do you have experience working on my specific type of HVAC system or brand? Can you provide references? What is your per-hour pricing? Do you offer maintenance contracts for ongoing savings? Do you provide a warranty for your work?

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

AC drip pans last five to 20 years, depending on the material. Plastic AC drip pans last five to 10 years, while metal pans can last over 10 years. Plastic AC drip pans are vulnerable to cracking in response to temperature changes. Metal drip pans are prone to rusting over time, which can also lead to leaks.
