"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 should flush your AC drain line once every three months to keep it clear of debris and buildup. Keeping your AC drain line clean prevents clogs, backups, mold growth, and extra wear on your AC unit. If you live in a humid area or have several furry pets, up your cleaning schedule to once a month.

Yes, ventless portable air conditioners exist, and not all standard portable air conditioners must be vented through a window.

Ventless portable units, often called evaporative coolers, do not have exhaust hoses. They use a water reservoir and a cooling pad to add moisture to the air, making it feel cooler. These units work best in dry climates because humid areas cannot absorb much additional moisture.

For standard portable air conditioners that do require venting, a window is not the only option; they can also be vented through a door, wall, or ceiling. However, it is essential to vent these units properly. Running a standard portable AC without venting it is counterproductive because it needs to expel heat to cool the room. Failing to do so will only increase the room's temperature.

It’s never a good idea to run your AC without a filter, even just for a night. The filter defends your HVAC system from the dust, dirt, debris, and other grime in your home. Without a filter, those contaminants are more likely to get inside your system and potentially damage it. 

While both have advantages, a split system is generally cheaper than a ducted one. Because they are less invasive to install, the labor costs are lower, and they can be more energy efficient. But, a ducted system might be worth the investment if you run it more frequently. 

Yes, you can run an attic fan with the AC on. In fact, you don’t have a choice with a passive attic fan. Plus, when an attic fan draws out hot air from the attic, it helps regulate the temperature of your whole home, so your AC doesn't have to work as hard.
