"They did a good job. They gave me a $40 discount since my ducts were not very dirty. My only comment is they left some particles of dry wall chips on my floor and did not vacuum them up."

"Mack and Aaron were both EXTREMELY helpful, knowledgable, professional, polite and concerned about cleaniness (and we appreciated all those postive characteristics!). Really excellent professionals who serviced our furnance and installed a new thermostat that is really nice. We cannot recommend Schaal highly enough and Mack and Aarson were really, really good to work with. If you are seeing this and considering an HVAC company, there is no other choice than Schaal! (We have used Schaal since the early 1990s and always been totally pleased with their service, technicians and people who answer the phones!)."

"I had an absolutely 5-star experience with Precision Comfort. Our air went out on Friday night. I researched, and reviews across multiple platforms were stellar for Precision. I called about 8 p.m., they answered right away, apologized for not having a repairman available right away, but set an appointment for between 10-noon on Saturday. The repairman, Brent, was there by 10:30, appropriately wearing a mask. He was swift to check every part of the AC set-up and quickly found our problem - a bad compressor - and repaired it. The whole thing took 20-minutes. Afterward, I found out that Precision is a local small business, and I was happy to have found our new, permanent, heating and air conditioning company."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Air Free Duct Cleaning exceeded all my expectations! Their attention to detail is unmatched, and the entire process was seamless. Scheduling was a breeze, with clear communication and timely notifications about my appointment. I had a last-minute change of plans, but their flexibility allowed me to grant them access to my home while I was away, keeping my maintenance schedule on track. They did an outstanding job, even providing before-and-after photos and videos of my ductwork, which looked spotless! They may not be the cheapest, but their quality and professionalism make them the best in the business. Highly recommend!"

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

A blockage in the ductwork may prevent air from flowing through the vent. If some rooms in your home are very hot or cold and another isn't, that can be a sign that a vent is blocked. Another sign of a blockage is a buildup of dirt or dust around the vent. In either case, a duct installer or cleaning service can investigate the issue for you and recommend a course of action.

It depends on how fast an HVAC technician can resolve the issue. First, if there's a refrigerant leak, you’ll want to keep small children and pets out of the house. Next, you’ll want to turn off the AC unit to ensure no more freon enters your home. Finally, you’ll need an AC technician pro to come to your home and fix the leak immediately. Ultimately, it’s best to leave your home if you discover a freon leak—the risk of exposure is very high, and it’s not worth risking your health to stay.

Dirty filters are almost always the cause of poor airflow, so they should be regularly cleaned and then replaced as needed. The fan blades can also get dirty, so they should be cleaned when the unit is turned off. Make sure that the outdoor area around the back of the unit is unobstructed. Trees, shrubs, trash, and other objects could be too close to your unit.

On average, replacing an AC compressor costs between $800 and $2,300, but it could cost as much as $2,800. There are a few factors that impact the price of a compressor replacement, including the type and size of the compressor, as well as the type of HVAC system and local labor rates.

High humidity, bad insulation, warmth from sunlight, and poor circulation are all reasons your home’s hotter inside than out. While this is what you want in the colder months, summer can become unbearable if this is a constant. Try to find the cause, but you need to remember that issues like this require a permanent fix (unless you want to bear down during the summer months).
