"The gentleman who provided the estimate was very knowledgeable and passionate about his trade. He took time to educate us on our best options and he fully answered all our questions. We gathered 4 different estimates for this project, and Basset offered the best value by far. The maintenance plan offered more service for less cost compared to the other professionals. Basset was able to get us on the installation schedule within a week of our estimate! The installers (AC unit and electrical) were kind and professional. They called 20 minutes out to let us know they were on their way. The installer also took time to go over basic information, common problems, and what to do under certain circumstances. We were very pleased with our entire experience with Basset and we highly recommend them for any related home improvement project."

"Garrett from Colorado Duct Doctors came today and did a wonderful job cleaning my dryer vent and air ducts. He explained everything so nicely and worked so hard. I can already tell the air feels better! He was polite, careful, and left everything clean. Such a nice young man. I’m very grateful for his help—thank you, Garrett!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ K & C Heating Plumbing and Cooling is simply the best! They first installed my furnace and AC, and I was so impressed with their work, that I had them back for a second project to replace my hot water heater. Just like before, they took care of everything, worked efficiently, and cleaned up perfectly. I’ll continue to use and recommend them."

"This gentleman is terrific!! Excellent advice on pros and cons of different options. Got us installed with a more efficient unit but also the correct size for our house. Works great and lowered our bill. Even gave me a courtesy call back to confirm my wiring when installing a new thermostat months later. Highly recommend!"

"Thanks so much for another year of cleaning carpets, air ducts, and my crazy unique vertical dryer vent with the squished green end cap that gets plugged up. I appreciate the plastic guards for my furniture and walls, the price match from previous years, and that you talk to me about what you're doing! Have a great year and see you next year! 2019 Update ~ As always, thank you to Sean (and Casey) for yet another year of stupendous service! This year was highlighted by a visiting cat pooping inappropriately in my house ~ thank you for treating our carpets for that. Also, this year, Sean cleaned our "Oh, please don't bother" contractor's carpet that has been grey for most of the last 19 years ... it's white!"

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Not if you have a standard unit. Because portable AC units actually work to dehumidify the room, you’ll likely need to drain the unit from time to time—but you won’t have to put water into it. There is, however, another type of air conditioner called a swamp cooler that requires water to operate. If you have a swamp cooler, you may need to fill a reservoir with water and potentially ice. But a swamp cooler is different from a standard portable AC unit.

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.

The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season—spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.

Window ACs use 500 to 1,400 watts per hour of electricity, while mini-splits use 500 to 700 watts per hour. However, if you need to cool multiple zones in your house, your mini-split can use as much as 2,000 watts per hour. How often you run your system will impact how much electricity you use (and how much you pay per month).

At a minimum, an HVAC system should be serviced once per year. However, a twice-a-year service schedule—once in the spring for the cooling system and once in the fall for the heating system—is often recommended, especially for older systems, heat pumps, or in climates with extreme temperatures. Regular service, which includes inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, ensures the system runs efficiently, helps prevent costly breakdowns during peak seasons, and can extend the unit's lifespan. You can also schedule a service if you notice issues like poor performance or strange noises.
