"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 buy a house with a 15-year-old HVAC system if you inspect the system for performance and budget for a replacement within the next three years. You can also negotiate the price with the sellers. Ask to look at the unit’s maintenance records and energy bills for the last two years to determine the shape of the HVAC system and its operating costs. Spend time in each room of the house to gauge if the HVAC keeps the home at a consistent temperature throughout.

A home AC unit provides anywhere from one-half to five tons of cooling and requires approximately two to four pounds of refrigerant per ton of cooling. At approximately five to 10 minutes to fill one pound of refrigerant, a home that requires three tons of cooling will take about six to 12 pounds of refrigerant and approximately 30 minutes to two hours to completely recharge the unit.

A frosty expansion valve that isn't blowing out cool air is a sure sign that it’s time to replace it. It might also be time to replace the TXV valve if your AC unit switches off soon after turning on or if you have poor airflow in your home.

A blockage in the ductwork may prevent air from flowing through the vent. If some rooms in your home are very hot or cold and another isn't, that can be a sign that a vent is blocked. Another sign of a blockage is a buildup of dirt or dust around the vent. In either case, a duct installer or cleaning service can investigate the issue for you and recommend a course of action.

There are ways to detect a refrigerant leak with several different testing methods. However, most homeowners can figure out something’s wrong with their AC unit by noticing these common signs:

  • Ice forming on the evaporator coil

  • Water leaks near the AC unit

  • Frequent hissing sounds

  • Increased electric bills

  • Unit takes longer than usual to cool

  • Unit is blowing hot air
