"Smart Heating and Air Conditioning was very responsive and came out when we really needed them. We were without heat as our old furnace no longer worked and our AC was on its last leg. Mike came out to give us a quote which was the best out of three that we had. He went over all options with us and now we are very satisfied to have a new and efficient heating and AC system. They lived up to their name as well, by upgrading my thermostat to a WiFi one that added that SMART touch to my system."

"Prompt, courteous, hard working! Called for service and they came the same day and gave me an estimate for repair and an estimate for a new furnace! I decided on a new furnace as mine was 18 years old! They came the next morning and were done within 2 hours! The thing I liked most was they didnâ t pressure me at all but waited patiently for my decision!"

"Perfect Star sent a technician out to assess my HVAC issue. and it turned out to be my ducts had been torn apart by critters getting into my crawl space and trying to nest. I got a crawl space cleanup crew to address that problem but Martin (my HVAC technician) told me about an air purifier that could be installed to my HVAC units. He installed those for me right away and they are working great."

"Alanis Air did a great job with my HVAC project. John Alanis answered all my questions and worked with me in deciding which system I should choose when replacing my very old system. His crew completed the work in one day, cleaned up the area and disposed of my old system. They were very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend Alanis Air for any of your HVAC needs! Thank you John, Santiago, Angel and Ismael :-)"

"Jorge, Angel, Ishmael, and George were fantastic. Jorge was honest and straight in the initial conversations. He gave me multiple options for systems and their functionality. When I made my selection I was given a very fair price for the work that was to be done. He was very helpful in acquiring good financing that bested my Credit Union and Bank. The work was done quickly with great attention to the fine details. I now have an efficient and functional HVAC unit. If you need repairs or a replacement HVAC system you could not do better than selecting Elite Heating and Air for your job. I'm telling all my friends that if they need any work done - "I've got a guy"..."

"I had my A/C capacitor go out on me during the peak of a heatwave. I got on all the apps to find a hvac company that could come out asap to fix it. 411 heating and AC called me back immediately after reaching out and setup an appointment for the next morning. He showed up on time, was very professional and had great tips for me on how to do some preventative maintenance on my unit to extend its lifespan. I would recommend them and use them again!"

"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."

"Peter and his crew especially Jason did a fantastic work at my place in Blackhawk, CA. I was impressed with Pete's knowledge and honesty, had interviewed three other vendors prior. They install two HVAC units at my home and also provided awesome after sales service. I would recommend them highly to other. Thanks"

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Air filters with a high MERV rating, 11 or above, shouldn't cause airflow problems in most residential systems. However, the airflow can be restricted in some HVAC systems if they aren't designed for high MERV ratings. If in doubt, a local duct installer should inspect your ductwork so that you know what your system can handle.

Modern AC leak sealants work as a temporary measure to stop refrigerant leaks. You can purchase them at most home improvement stores or on online. When using an AC leak sealant, keep in mind that it’s only a temporary solution, so you’ll still need to hire a pro to install a replacement part as soon as possible.

The right type of HVAC system will depend on several factors, including your climate, budget, preferences, and existing HVAC setup. For example, if you live in an area that experiences extreme weather, then a split system would likely be the best option. Or, if budget is a concern, consider installing a ductless system in just one room.

If your AC condenser is nearing the end of its life, it might leak fluid or make loud or unusual sounds (like grinding or hissing). You might also notice that it isn’t heating your home as evenly or effectively as it once did. Also, an aging condenser will have to work harder to cool your home, which may force it to use more power and drive up your utility bills.
