"Steve from A.M.I. Air conditioning was very prompt, knowledgeable snd personable. He gave me a run down on how my unit was doing and when asked about installing a UV light he gave me straight forward answers on how it would benefit us and the pro’s of having one. After checking prices for installation it was a fair price. Thanks Steve and A.M.I. AC."
"I am very happy with the results. The installation process was smooth and professional, and the technicians were courteous and knowledgeable. They explained everything to me clearly and answered all my questions. They also cleaned up after themselves and left no mess behind. The new HVAC system is a Carrier model, which is one of the best HVAC companies of 2023 according to U.S. News & World Report."
"Probably, THE BEST HVAC service we’ve ever gotten. Thank you, Jose for your expertise and know-how. And the customer service with the front office was top-notch and pleasant!"
"These folks are great! The first couple of years that I had this central AC installed, the main HVAC unit would freeze up and flood the closet and adjacent areas. After paying another company for the same repair for three years, I finally ditched them and called Weathershield. They came out, noticed that I had a bad thermostat, replace that, serviced the unit and I haven't had a problem since then. The folks are super polite, arrive on time and have had my AC purring now for over four years now. Can't say enough. "
"Our a/c unit was down. Air Anytime, Florin, arrived at the scheduled time, identified the issue with the a/c, was available to get the part when we decided it was time to replace the fan motor, came back with the part - the same day, and completed the repairs -- all at a reasonable cost. Honest, reliable and quick service."
"The technician who came to take care of my air conditioning problem was very punctual, professional, courteous, and honest. His name is Max and strongly recommend One Hour Air to anyone who needs AC service. All the positive reviews that I had read regarding this company or confirmed today when Max came to my house and quickly resolved my air conditioning problem."
"I contacted 3 companies to receive quotes for my AC repair and obtained 3 very expensive quotes. I then called Review A+ ESC Air Conditioning and received a very fair estimate of charges. I contracted them for the repair and I'm very happy with the service I received. They are very professional and knowledgeable."

"I spoke to Rafael the owner on the day after Christmas as my HVAC system would cool but when we switch to heat it would kick the circuit breaker. Rafael wanted to come that day but I wanted the next day, the technicians were on time wire their mask. Found the problem was the thermostat then a problem in the circuit breaker box. The price was great that I hired them right away without getting another company to come over. They fixed the problem so far I am happy the only issue was communicating with the technicians but living in South Florida you get used to that, but their kindness and professionalism made up. I will definitely keep their number for any other job."
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
When deciding whether to repair or replace your air conditioner, several factors should be considered. It is generally worth repairing the unit if it's less than 10 years old, the warranty is still active, and you're dealing with a one-off issue. Most central AC units last about 15 years, while window units last 8 to 10 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed the 10-year mark and requires frequent or costly repairs (e.g., over $5,000), replacement is often the more sensible long-term investment. For older, inefficient, or out-of-warranty units experiencing multiple problems, replacing it is typically the better choice.
An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.
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 higher the BTU rating an air conditioner has, the more effective it can be at cooling your space. It will cool off your room faster in the short term. However, over the long term, if the unit has too many BTUs for the space, it can wear down the unit faster and shorten its life span.
The cost to replace an AC unit averages around $5,900, with a typical range between $3,900 and $8,020. The final price depends on several factors, including the type and size of the air conditioner, its efficiency rating, your geographic region, and labor costs for installation. Smaller units like portable and window ACs are much less expensive, costing between $90 and $550, compared to central or ductless systems. If your current unit is less than 10 years old, repairing it may be more cost-effective than a full replacement.
