"Y and M Air Duct cleaning provided an important service in a way that was transparent and professional. Our house is noticeably cleaner as a result of the service. They were punctual, polite and clean. They did not cut corners and showed me what they were doing and cleaning every step of the way. The world would be better if more contractors had Y and M's work ethic."

"I was so pleased that the air conditioner repairman, Scott, who fixed my air conditioner on short notice did an exceptional job. We cannot express enough gratitude for his work. He arrived promptly and efficiently diagnosed the issue with my air conditioner. Despite the urgency, he remained calm and composed, assuring us that he would resolve the problem. True to his word, his expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the repair process, restoring cool air to our home. Not only did he fix the problem quickly, but he also took the time to explain what went wrong and provided helpful tips to prevent future issues. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of air conditioner repairs. We were so impressed with their services that we recommended them to our son and daughter-in-law already. The woman in the office that scheduled this appointment, Jolene, was so easy to work with during a very stressful time of the year, the weekend with an upcoming holiday just a couple days away. Grateful for her help as well!"

"This was my first time using Omni Mechanical and I am very pleased in their service of my oil fired boiler. I had recently purchased my home and had very little knowledge of any prior maintenance of the boiler. Other than knowing it’s an older unit I didn’t know what to expect of the internal components when it was opened up and inspected. The techs were nice enough to let me observe as they were opening up the unit and exposed the internals. So I could see for myself what they were talking about and physically see the condition. They walked me through what they were doing every step of the way. Taking the time to explain parts they needed to change and actually showing me the condition of the older parts as they were changing them. After all work was complete. Everything was left very neat and clean. This by far has been one of my most pleasant encounters with a contractor. I will definitely strongly consider them in the future for any work I need."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Whether an HVAC damper should be open or closed depends on the season, the zone it controls, and the temperature in that zone. In the summer, open upstairs dampers and close lower-level dampers to get the most efficient cooling possible. In the winter, do the opposite. Cool air will naturally flow down to lower levels, while warm air will rise. This keeps your system from working harder and helps prevent common AC problems.

An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:

  • Furnaces: 15 to 30 years

  • Boilers: 20 to 35 years

  • Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years

  • Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years

  • Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years

Yes, a dehumidifier and air conditioner can be used simultaneously in a home. A dehumidifier can bolster an air conditioner’s efficiency. Typically, a dehumidifier is used when the air conditioner alone cannot keep a home’s humidity levels at a comfortable indoor humidity level, which should, ideally, be between 30% and 50%.

While an air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, it is not recommended as it will not work efficiently. A dirty filter forces the system to work harder to circulate cool air, leading to reduced airflow, increased wear and tear, and higher energy bills. This added strain can cause the air conditioner to overheat or fail prematurely. Furthermore, a clogged filter may allow dust and dirt to accumulate in your ductwork, negatively impacting air quality. It is more cost-effective to clean or replace filters regularly than to pay higher utility bills and risk needing to replace the entire AC unit.

The best way to compare HVAC quotes is getting a few detailed quotes from local companies with good reputations. Then, go over the quotes line by line. Protect yourself by insisting on in-person estimates that include equipment manufacturer names, model numbers, SEER ratings, amounts and numbers of materials, details of warranties on equipment and labor, and other specifics. 

Knowing the exact equipment and materials is the only way that you can fairly compare quotes. Quotes that are much lower than others can be a sign that the company isn’t providing the best quality service or materials.
