"We noticed a foul smell coming from one of the vents in our HVAC system. We turned the system off and called AC Dave. Dave sent Justin and James to troubleshoot the problem. They quickly found a tear in one of our ducts--and the remains of a dead rodent. They cut open the duct, cleaned it and resealed it. We had heat again, about an hour after they arrived. Very fast and competent service."

"Great. My daughter contracted Air Duct Professionals to do her home. James, the technician, was professional, knowledgeable and did a quality job. I contacted Air Duct to do my home and requested James. James arrived on time and did an excellent job. He also helped me with a leak with my HVAC Condenser and diagnosed and fixed the issue."

"After reading reviews on Angie's List and finding out that they do installations for Costco, we chose Around the Clock (even though they were the most expensive of the 3 quotes we received) because we wanted to make sure we did not skimp on such a major project - installation of a new HVAC system. While the system is working great and our house is much cooler than with our swamp cooler and/or window AC units, we were disappointed with a few aspects of the job. As far as when the crew was on the job... they were on time, clean, and the job got completed in the time that they said it would - 2 days. My concerns came up in the days/weeks after the job was completed when a contractor came to the house to look at some additional work being done. Part of the quote from our job was that they would "remove" two existing floor gas heaters in our home. When the contractor and I were looking at repairing the hardwood floors where the heaters have been removed, we found that one of the heaters had actually just been left under the house in the crawlspace. A few minutes later, I asked my contractor to check out the attic because I knew that the workers had smashed an asbestos vent pipe from one of the old heaters so they could run electric wires through it from the crawlspace under the house up to the attic and eventually the package HVAC unit on the roof. I know that health issues arise with asbestos when it disturbed (like smashing it apart and leaving it exposed in the attic.) The contractor confirmed that this was the case and he was rather alarmed and surprised that a "retail" top-dollar job had been done with these methods. After talking with the owner, Alan, about my concerns, his response was basically this is the way that things are done. He said that leaving the heater under the house is called "dropping" the unit and that the unit was too big to remove out of the crawl space. I think that with some effort and a Sawzall it could have been removed, but either way, I wish that they would have been clearer that they were leaving smashed up appliances under our house. I told him about the asbestos pipe and he told me, again, often times that is "how it's done" because it's the easiest way to get the wires through the house. When I told him I had safety concerns about the asbestos being exposed, he said that the workers should have put some kind of coating on the exposed areas as a protection against any of the asbestos fibers getting airborne. I sent him photos confirming that there was no coating applied. During this call, he mentioned something about "sealing" the unit to the roof (to protect against rain penetrating where the HVAC and the roof meet) and that it had not been done yet because they thought maybe we were getting a new roof very soon. This was the first I had heard that the job was not complete and I don't know where the idea of the new roof came from other than our roof is old and going to need to be done in the next few years. Alan said he would send out someone to coat the pipe and do the roof "sealing". They came out that day or the next to do the work. After talking to the worker about the pipe (same guy who was heading the crew on the installation days), he acted like this was a waste of time and told me, "We never put this coating on these asbestos pipes when we break them." That was disconcerning and it made me feel like the owner doesn't really know what his crews are/are not doing or, more likely, that they just are doing whatever they need to do to get the job done quick, cheap and easy. Overall - the big disappointment for me and my wife... if we wanted the job to be "quick, cheap, easy, and maybe cut a few corners, we would have gone with a different HVAC company that was much cheaper, and we would expect that because "you get what you pay for", but we didn't, we went for the retail installer and feel that the job was less than retail."

"The technician came and evaluated our problem which we thought was heating and air conditioning but we were told that the heating was very good but some part went out on the air conditioning unit. He was honest and took the time to explain what we did not need and made sure we paid for only what was wrong with the unit. We are signing up for the preventive maintenance program. Sorry I can't remember the nice man's name but he was wonderful."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

There are several AC unit problems to troubleshoot, but luckily you can identify them by keeping a close eye on your system. Look out for the following signs that your AC needs repair:

  • Unusual noises during operation

  • AC unit blows warm air

  • AC unit doesn’t come on or turn off with temperature changes

  • Strange odors come through the vents

  • AC unit cycles on and off rapidly

  • Indoor air is more humid or less comfortable than usual

  • AC unit keeps tripping your breaker

  • Fan in the outdoor compressor doesn’t operate when the AC is on

Yes, mini split systems cool equally as well as central air. While a central system circulates air throughout the entire home at the same temperature, a mini split system allows each room to be cooled or heated at different temperatures based on your own preferences. Hire a HVAC professional to determine which type of system is best for your home.

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.

Yes, you can clean AC coils yourself. Just make sure that the power to your AC system is off before you begin. You’ll need some basic tools and supplies, including a soft brush, cloth, screwdriver, and a commercial or homemade cleaning solution. Cleaning your coils will only cost about $10.

Yes, HVAC zoning systems offer energy savings by allowing precise temperature control in different zones in your home. Rather than conditioning the whole house uniformly, these systems direct airflow where needed, preventing energy waste. Tailoring comfort to specific areas reduces energy consumption and lowers utility costs, making HVAC zoning an energy-efficient choice.
