"I first contacted Valley to get a quote on how much it would cost to get air conditioning installed. I live in an older town home that is approximately 1100 sq. ft. They sent someone out to take a look and see what was involved. He was very professional and explained what was involved including getting permits from the city. He quoted the amount and provided me with an invoice. I contacted them 3 months later to say I was ready for the install. The installation turned out to be quite challenging due to the way my home is constructed, but Valley made it work. The service person had to stay a few hours longer but I wasn't charged anything extra for it. They stuck with the amount of the estimate that was quoted. It's only been a couple of months since the install, but I have to say my only complaint at this point is how cold it gets when I turn on the air. But that's a nice problem to have. :)"

"We recently installed solar panels on the roof and continued the 'infrastructure upgrades' with a new furnace and central air conditioner, having cooled the house in summers with breezes and fans and insulation, but no A/C.
Comfort Energy was more expensive than other bidders, but my spouse (who drove the process) felt the most detailed options and trade-offs were presented by Carlos Gonzalez.  So we went with Comfort.  The installation team was VERY professional and courteous, working hard to minimize disruption (we work from home offices, and have dogs...) while doing the work, and leaving an immaculate workspace at the end of each day.
The job, by coincidence, finished on the hottest day of the summer thus far and one part of the furnace install involved opening all windows and blasting the furnace on high for a number of minutes to clear out some factory material/fumes.  This was fascinating on a 90-100F degree day.  That part concluded, we shut the windows, turned on the AC and the house became cool again.
Next will come the post-install QC/QA check, and the next 2-3 years of on site tune-ups and services. So we'll see how that goes.  But so far so good.  We'll never know of course if different equipment would have been better/worse, but we do know that the UI of the experience seemed to go quite well and very, very professionally.

"Global Comfort installed a full HVAC system in my home; 7 new runs for air, new AC unit, new furnace and a new Nest thermostat, all electrical needs. Rudy and his team are respectful, efficient, punctual, competitive in pricing. Rudy walked me through running the system for its first time and explained all the stuff for a brand new system in a house that never had AC. I'm very thankful for the work they did. Highly recommend because their customer service is top notch."

"John did an amazing job with our HVAC system! From the moment he arrived, he was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. His workmanship was top-notch, and he made sure everything was working perfectly before he left. It?s hard to find someone who genuinely cares about doing quality work, but John definitely does. If you?re looking for an honest, reliable HVAC contractor who takes pride in what he does, I highly recommend John. I couldn?t be happier with the service!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between $75 and $150, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around $150. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.

Ideally, an AC system should never need more Freon (a popular refrigerant) because it circulates in a closed loop. However, refrigerant leaks are not uncommon and may occur gradually over 5 to 15 years. If your system has a leak, it will need to be topped up in a process known as an AC recharge. Signs of a refrigerant leak include weakened AC performance, increased humidity in your home, higher utility bills, and a hissing sound from the unit. The cost of an AC recharge will depend on the size and type of your AC unit, as well as the type of refrigerant it uses.

Your AC might not cool after a power outage because of a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or damage to the compressor or capacitor. If you notice your AC not working after a power outage, in most cases, the breaker has tripped or the system has built-in brownout and blackout protection. Reboot the AC by turning it off at the thermostat, resetting the circuit breaker, and waiting 30 minutes to turn the AC on again. 

Most units are designed only to cool the house down to 20 degrees less than the temperature outside. This means that if it’s 99 degrees Fahrenheit out and you’re trying to cool your home down to 65 degrees, you’ll notice your AC is struggling. 

Lower the blinds on all your windows, turn on your ceiling fans, and keep the thermostat at a consistent temperature to help your AC do its job. Investing in an HVAC maintenance plan also helps because pros will come out to inspect and tune up your unit regularly, keeping it in optimal working condition.

Deciding whether to replace just the AC coil or the entire system depends on the age of your unit and the overall cost. Replacing a coil is less expensive than a full system replacement, but it can still be a pricey repair. If your HVAC system is relatively new and still under warranty, or if the replacement cost is significantly lower than a new system, replacing the coil can be a worthwhile investment that restores efficiency and extends the unit's life. However, for older systems (nearing the end of their 10-15 year lifespan) or those with extensive damage, it is often more cost-effective to replace the entire AC unit. Mismatched coils in an older system can lead to inefficiency and future breakdowns, so a full replacement ensures optimal performance and avoids further costly repairs.
