"Have gotten to know Tyler AC over the past few years when our previous HVAC guy retired. Techs Chris & Jeff have been knowledgeable and responsible keeping our aging system running. Jen & Cinda in the office have always been super helpful. Jeff spent time here last summer milking along our AC system in very HOT weather. We spent time a few months back with a technician deciding what our needs were when repairs to our heating system were mounting. The office helped us figure out the best way to move forward, hooked us up with a home energy audit in order to qualify for rebates, etc. We chose our new system, they ordered it and the installation date was set. They said it would take 2-3 days to compete the install. As of today, it is done. 2 1/2 days. Hot, humid, heat wave days and the 2 guys worked hard. We are presently enjoying our nice cool home while watching Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Rings."

"The appointment was made within 2 days of contacting them. The technician (Brian) was punctual for a 7:30 am appointment. Once there, Brian did a fantastic job of communicating the services that he was performing and kept me very informed about the status of the AC system. He found some issues that had been previously overlooked by former HVAC technicians and provided me with a very detailed understanding of what the outlook for my unit should be in the future. I noticed an immediate improvement in the cooling of the house as well as the air quality. I can't thank this company and this technician enough for being so professional in the way they conduct their business. I would recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC service."

"It was a superb experience. From the visit by Bruce the sales representative to the installation day to the follow-up from Petro, every single person we interacted with was helpful and professional. When Bruce arrived to do the assessment, we spent time going over the heating needs in the house. After a thorough inspection and measurement of the house, we sat down. He showed me a few options, all of which were going to provide good service. I ordered a unit at the end of that meeting. The installation day was just terrific- the entire work crew that showed up were everything I would hope to find: Upbeat, informative, hard-working, focused. The job was finished before end of day as promised. The heater room is now immaculate, with new piping and a new heater. It was like watching a pit crew at a NASCAR race. Everyone had their tasks, they moved carefully but quickly. The materials were all laid out in order, etc. Just a totally professional approach to their work. The crew boss answered any questions I had. The follow-up for a normal inspection of the furnace chimney was scheduled the day after the installation. I’ve gotten calls to insure we are satisfied with the work. Satisfied barely covers it- I am pleased to write this kind of review. Without hesitation I will recommend Petro to friends and family throughout the Philly area. Peter A. Elkins Park"

"Celco was the best from initial phone call to install finish, never used them before, my hvac of 16 years was going to charge me $800.00 more and could not get me heat for 10 days. Celco offered me heat fans, and the job was done in 3 days from phone call to done. Jim Smith is the best, and install guys Bryan and sorry forgot your name were so polite and professional, others should strive to be 1/4 as good"

"This is a centralized service as part of a national chain. It was so much easier than waiting on numerous handymen to come inspect and repair my ductwork. Someone came out to look right away, and ended up bringing a team out to fix what I needed. I appreciate the explanation of the problem before immediately doing it. I actually ended up signing up for their membership plan because I appreciated the quick and broad service offering which is especially important in case of an emergency, I feel like I can rely on this company. I will attempt to work with them for other HVAC needs."

FAQs for heating and air conditioning service projects in Derby, CT

Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.

While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.  

The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.

Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
