"I feel fortunate to have been able to meet Chris and have him fix my HVAC issues. He was prompt, excellent at communicating, and also is a great listener. The cost of my service wasn't low due to what was needed but it was more affordable than other quotes I'd recieved; some of the others who had spoken to me on the phone were indicating rates that were 50% higher than what Chris charged for the same exact product! I'll gladly hire him for future work. I've already given his number to others with HVAC needs."

"I wanted to clean a second floor dryer vent hose that was loaded solid with lint. It was worse than I thought! Packed solid! It became evident that this was a messy and dangerous situation as it was a fire hazard. Through Angi I found Everclean and the co. was a perfect fit. HVAC companies don’t do dryer vents. Justin from Everclean was awesome and got the problem straightened out. He even discovered the dryer vent had become disconnected from outside dryer vent door! I can’t fit through the narrow attic hatchway as my shoulders are a bit too wide, so I depended on Justin. Finally, everything is buttoned up, and our clothes now dry in half the time. Cost was moderate and was money well invested. Dryer vent fire danger is now negligible compared to before. Along with neighbor hatred danger. I would hire Everclean again if needed again."

"Bill called me first thing in the morning (7:30) after I sent out a request very late the night before. I had one others HVAC contracter make two trips to my home but could not figure out the problem? Bill had two of his tecknisions come out that morning but the problem still eluded them. The next day Bill came to my house and within 10 minutes he had it figured out. He explained exactly what the problem was and got my furnace up and running at 100%. He called back that night to check with me and make sure. Everything was OK."

"Matt and Harvey were professional and very clean. Two of our neighbors hired them to clean their HVAC ducts and dryer vents. We will have them back and refer to our family and friends."

"Alex was great! Courteous, responsive, prompt, friendly, but more importantly, honest. The job couldn’t be done because of the structure of my HVAC system, yet Alex (and Vinny) took the time to explain the problem and tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to seek an alternative solution. I have such respect for his honesty. I highly recommend using this company, for that reason alone."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

You should clean your air conditioner at least once per year, but you may need to clean your whole HVAC system (including the air ducts) more often. According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, you may need to clean them more frequently depending on factors like whether you smoke, have pets, or have allergies.

While personal preferences widely vary, sleep experts say the best temperature for sleeping is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit rather than 78. If you do choose to sleep with your AC unit tuned to 78 degrees, you might want to use only a sheet or light blanket rather than a comforter. You might also consider installing a window unit in your bedroom so that you can be cooler in bed without wasting energy cooling the whole house.

This depends on the extent of the freezing. Some ACs only need an hour or two to thaw out, but others may need a full day to completely unfreeze. Once you turn off the system to let it unfreeze, check it periodically to make sure the drain pan doesn’t overflow. When you turn the system back on, keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t start freezing again.

Most HVAC companies recommend against setting your AC below 70 as it could freeze up the system and cause more problems. Regardless of how hot it is outside, there is generally a 20 degree difference between the outside and inside temperatures, so even if it’s 100 degrees outside, your AC will likely not be able to cool your home to 70 degrees.

The length of an AC cycle depends on the settings in your thermostat and the unit you have. Central AC doesn't constantly run at full blast the way that a window unit does. A cooling cycle in most homes is 15 to 20 minutes. Then, the unit stays off for seven to 10 minutes to circulate the cold air in the house before the cycle repeats. It should repeat two or three times per hour. A short cycle lasts less than 10 minutes and then turns off.
