"Top-notch installation! The new HVAC system is super efficient and the crew explained everything clearly. They handled the entire job with care. I feel the temperature difference immediately?very satisfied!"
"AC Dave is a skilled and trustworthy HVAC company that does quality work at a competitive price. I had an aging four ton system that was on its last leg. My funds were tight at the time, so they suggested installing more efficient ducting to extend the system’s life. That was three years ago, which allowed me to save for the inevitable expense of replacement. And when that time came, I was given a comprehensive estimate and the installation went smoothly. They also did a follow up to tweak the system for maximum reliability. AC Dave is a small company, so you may not get next-day service, but they will work with you and stand by their work. In today’s less and less neighborly world, that is a real asset."
"My interaction with Air-Tech went very smoothy. Alex Fish, the customer representative was very professional and easy to work with. He provided a clear and detailed proposal , with options, before leaving the site on his first visit. Alex stayed in communication throughout the project. As a result of this experience I plan to have Air-Tech take over the maintenance on my main HVAC system."
"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."
"Can't recommend Dean and Efficiency Air enough. After getting quotes from 4 different companies we were lucky enough to try one more and I couldn't believe how much Dean knew about HVAC systems and all of the different brands, as well as being even on top of future HVAC government regulations and rebates! They do business the old fashion way and will work on the job until you are satisfied. Dean and Efficiency Air are what HVAC Legend is made of."

"Great job, Workers are great and they know HVAC. They are a great team and very nice people. Owner is very sincere & reliable. He will work with you on the best equipment...... you get what you pay for.!!!!!!!!"
"My HVAC unit stopped producing heat so I called the folks at around the clock. They offered to come out the same day and after taking a look up on our roof determined it was a faulty control board. We talked a little about the lifespan of the unit and that while it was probably going to need to be replaced in the next 5 years or so, it made more sense to simply replace the board today. So he scheduled an appointment for the following day to come back with the replacement board. 1 day later and 15 minutes of work and I have heat again."
"HD Mechanical got all our commercials units back in order. They provided excellent customer service and we will be using them from now on for all our commercial and residential HVAC needs!"

He was very professional & friendly man,and Highly recommend them if AC/Furnace issues"
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
Fixing a leak in an AC unit costs $200 to $1,600, depending on the type of leak and any related damage. But depending on the age and condition of your AC, it might make more sense to replace the AC unit instead of repairing it. If your AC is only a few years old and relatively problem-free, then repairing it is the right call. But if it’s nearing a decade old and has other issues, consider replacing it.
Yes, you can potentially save $60 to $200 by handling your own air conditioner capacitor installation. However, capacitor replacement comes with the risk of electric shock. Only attempt this if you have the knowledge and protective gear to carry it out safely. Otherwise, we recommend hiring an HVAC pro with the experience to properly diagnose the issue and avoid damaging other parts of your AC unit.
Dirty filters are almost always the cause of poor airflow, so they should be regularly cleaned and then replaced as needed. The fan blades can also get dirty, so they should be cleaned when the unit is turned off. Make sure that the outdoor area around the back of the unit is unobstructed. Trees, shrubs, trash, and other objects could be too close to your unit.
When faced with HVAC issues, it's best to begin by ensuring the thermostat settings are correct for either heating or cooling. If the system isn't responding, check the thermostat for proper function and power supply. It's also important to examine air filters, as clogged ones can decrease performance. Confirm the power supply to the system by checking the circuit breakers and fuses. If these basic steps fail to resolve the issue, contact an HVAC professional for a more detailed diagnosis and repair.
DIY is possible for basic cleaning. Professional services handle advanced maintenance like recharging the refrigerant.
