"Starting with JP the senior technician, the inspection and documentation of existing conditions was thorough, knowledgeable, and complete. Moore recommended the replacement system that would be more durable and require lower maintenance over time, and wrote a detailed proposal with a floor plan documentation. We were given financing options at the time of signing the agreement, as well. The team- five technicians!- were properly suited with protective gear and followed COVID protocols at all times on our property, inside and out. They wore shoe protectors while inside, kept us fully appraised at every task (all interior registers replaced in 11 rooms), and were extremely respectful of our space, privacy, pets, and kept noise and speaking to low levels. (our extremely friendly indoor cat got lots of attention from the team!) The work required three days to fully replace all ductwork in a two-story home with attic and crawl space, and Paul the team leader would check in with us each morning with a briefing of each days' activities. The entire team was constantly in learning mode, with the senior technicians mentoring and teaching the younger team members, which greatly impressed me. They finished on time and without any delay or disruption; they cleaned each work area and removed all debris, packaging, and the old system. We've owned this house for 20 years, had many repairs and replacements, and Moore has raised the bar so far for quality and value. While they were the middle bid in terms of overall cost, we believe we received higher value that even the highest bid. I can strongly recommend them to anyone planning repair work on their existing system, new installations, or maintenance. After getting few responses from HVAC contractors working in new homes in Sonoma County, we were pleased to know that Moore specializes in existing homes and responded to our online request within minutes. I'd be happy to share my experience in person, if required. Martin Waldron Sebastopol, CA"

"The first week of December we came home to a cold house. The thermostat was working, we could hear the furnace come on but no heat. We contacted Gas and Electric thinking the pilot had gone out. The technician came out and checked the furnace and the pilot was fine but the HSI had burnt out. He explained this part has about a 5 year lifespan. He let us know the part was roughly $25 to $50 and it would take about 15 minutes to change out - a very easy DIY job. We decided to have an HVAC technician come out as the furnace had not been serviced in  a couple of years. We called around to a couple of places  from the list and the quickest appointment was with Albert Nahman Heating and Plumbing. The tech was prompt and professional. He asked where the furnace was located and we explained  it was under the house and due to the recent rains it was a little damp under there. We explained that while we had a sump pump it was a little muddy in the entryway. He said no problem and grabbed a shovel and cleared the mud away and then went to work on the furnace.. He tested the furnace to make sure it really was just the HSI. He replaced the part and had us test the furnace turning on and off the thermostat a couple of times while he was there to make sure everything was working properly. He did let us know that it would be a good idea to schedule a complete cleaning of the furnace and ducts. He showed us the dust etc that was collecting and explained how that will shorten the lifespan of the parts.  The tech was fantastic. The only downside was the pricing. The $50 part was $325. If you are someone who is not good at DIY/ doesn't relish going into crawl spaces or under the house and needs a technician who will explain how everything works and what they need to do as well as what they recommend for future maintenance, then Albert Nahman Heating and Plumbing is reliable.

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Ceiling fans can be a great way to cool your home without the expensive utility bill of running an air conditioner. Plus, ceiling fans can sometimes run in both directions, pushing hot air down in winter and pulling cold air up in summer. With that said, air conditioning might be the only thing that helps if you live in a very warm climate.

You should get anywhere from three to five quotes for HVAC replacement to get an idea of the average cost of a new unit. Although this quote-collecting process can be time consuming, it allows you to compare what work is required, what type of unit you should install, and how much you should expect to pay for the service.

A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.

The cost to replace an AC unit averages around $5,900, with a typical range between $3,900 and $8,020. The final price depends on several factors, including the type and size of the air conditioner, its efficiency rating, your geographic region, and labor costs for installation. Smaller units like portable and window ACs are much less expensive, costing between $90 and $550, compared to central or ductless systems. If your current unit is less than 10 years old, repairing it may be more cost-effective than a full replacement.

Many HVAC manufacturers provide warranties that encompass the cost of a new compressor, with durations ranging from 5 to 10 years, depending on the brand. These warranties cover critical components such as the compressor, condenser, connecting tubing, evaporator, and refrigerant charge. Moreover, they often include the necessary labor for replacement or repairs. Keep in mind that premium-brand compressors may offer lifetime warranty options. It's essential to note that these warranties rarely cover labor costs.
