"Very prompt to respond to my call. Service person very pleasant and knowledgeable. Reviewed in detail what he thought problem was. Offered to have me sign up for regular service visits twice a year which made cost of this visit nothing so I agreed. Said they would order part he thought I needed and have it available if required which I appreciated. He wrote some descriptions of the HVAC system in his notes which described ducts as in " poor condition " but didn't mention that to me. I thought he should have. Will use again."

"We had a totally broken HVAC system in our 30 year old house. They came in and fixed it in two days. The guys were very friendly and answered our questions. Our original salesperson was knowledgeable and respectful considering the state of our equipment at that time. Now we have heat for the rest of the Winter and AC for next year. Thank you!"

"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."

"Green Core HVAC was awesome to work with! The team did a great job helping us pick the perfect AC unit for our home. They showed up on time, got the new AC installed quickly, and left the place spotless. Our house is cooler and more comfortable than it’s ever been. You can tell these guys really care about doing a great job. I’d 100% recommend Green Core to anyone needing AC work. Super professional, super friendly, and they really know what they’re doing!"

"Rick and his team were awesome. They were very thorough, put everything they moved in my garage back and Rick made sure to have me check both the heater and AC once installation was complete. He also installed my smart thermostat for me. I would highly recommend Rick and his team."

"I hired Volkman Heating and Air to install a heat pump system for three rooms. That was all I wanted. But, when they were finished, I decided to have them do the rest of the house as well. Anyone can promise you great, professional service. Itâ s rare that they actually deliver everything they promise without compromise. Thanks! Iâ m now ready for the heat of summer to begin."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

You can protect your air conditioner in the winter by turning off the power at the thermostat and performing routine HVAC maintenance in the spring. Regular maintenance, cleaning, and repair of your AC unit helps protect it and extend its life span. If you have a window AC unit, remove it from the window and store it in a dry place during the winter. Window units cannot withstand freezing temperatures. Keeping them in your window also allows cold air to seep into your home.

Condensation forms when warmer, outside air combines with cooler air in your ductwork. This can happen when there are leaks in your air ducts, your HVAC system has a dirty air filter, or there’s a lack of insulation around the ducts. To prevent it from happening, replace your HVAC filters as directed. Also, once every five years, hire a local air duct cleaner to clean and inspect them.

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.

Setting your AC unit to 78 degrees can, indeed, help you save energy. In fact, according to experts, every degree you turn the unit up could save you between 1% and 3% on your energy bills. That said, turning your unit off entirely while you’re out might actually be less efficient than keeping it on at a higher temperature. Why? The unit will need to work extra hard to cool the house back off again after all those hot hours. 

While it is possible to add Freon to your AC unit yourself, it is not recommended. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits the handling of Freon without a license. Freon is a dangerous gas that can cause irreversible damage to your AC or yourself if not installed correctly. It is worthwhile to hire a professional to add Freon to your AC.
