"Worked with Tim - was looking for new HVAC system. He was honest and provided the best price for what you got (literally thousands of dollars cheaper from other options I was finding). Was very communicative and easy to work with. He made sure to educate you on the ins-and-outs of HVAC systems, and did not try to upsell you like other companies might do. He and Efficiency Air definitely got me as a new continued client."

"We chose to go with Premier for our new home HVAC system because of Jonathanâ s professionalism and great price. We felt like Jonathan treated us like family. He was honest and upfront about the challenges he would face putting our new system in so we were never surprised or felt like we were getting ripped off. We really appreciate how the Premier team was respectful of our home , nice to our dogs and finished in the time frame agreed upon. Our system works wonderfully , we highly recommend Premier for any of your HVAC projects!!!"

"I not only had an old furnace replaced but also had whole house air conditioning added. Very professional family business. Their estimate beat out two other HVAC businesses here in Lompoc⠦⠦ one of them by thousands of dollars. It paid to get three estimates. Daniel was easy to work with and honest. One of the other HVAC businesses in Lompoc is interested in selling you all kinds of stuff that increased his estimate by thousands of dollars. I highly recommend Ace Heating & AC."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The standard rule for return duct sizing is that the return vent should be the same size or larger than the supply vent. This will ensure balanced airflow in your home and reduce strain on your HVAC system.

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.

If you’re looking for a portable, budget-friendly cooling solution that doesn’t require any venting or installation, a ventless AC system is a good option. Similarly, this is a great choice if you’re renting an apartment or home and aren’t allowed to make large, structural changes like installing comprehensive HVAC, or you’re in a shared space and only need to cool your own room.

The size window AC you need depends on the BTU and the size of the room you’re cooling. For a room with 8-foot ceilings, look for about 20 BTU per square foot of the room. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room should have an air conditioner with 2,880 BTU. You can buy something slightly more powerful, but don’t overshoot the BTU for a small room, or you’ll waste energy and have higher bills.
