"Excellent service all around. Called, answered promptly, got a fixed-price quote for cleaning our 3000 sq ft two-zone heated home built in 1959 and likely not cleaned since it was built. Competitors were much more vague about services and pricing and generally were "we can come out and charge you depending on the setup...". They explained clearly what they were going to do, how long it would take, and what results we could expect. Called ahead to check that we were home and suggested clearance of area around vents to ensure no breakage. Arrived promptly and on schedule. Put on booties before entering home. Were clear about work to be done, rough timing, and access needed. Set up large vacuum unit in backyard and large hoses through basement window, along with several agitator lines to clean each vent. Removed all vents (supply and return, about 30), cleaned them all, replaced them all correctly. Cut two access holes in ducts where necessary due to our ducting setup and patched. Vacuumed around all work areas. Cleaned out vents, which they informed us had gravel and tile (!) in them from a previous renovation. Promised four hours, took 3.5. Was noisy but not unreasonable given work performed. Outstanding and professional service. $500 total for a complex job, billed as promised. Would recommend highly."

"We purchased a new central air conditioner and a 2-stage furnace. In addition, they needed to update the air circulation to and from the system, which was nicely done. Needed a little tweaking, and one of the owners came out to perform the simple task himself."

"Went okay. Based on some of my past tuneups, I felt like the tech could have done a little more. For example, tech had no vacuum to clean the bottom of inside the furnace. I am not sure he did any cleaning of the INSIDE of my central air unit either, but he did a great job using the hose to clean the side vents, etc., with the garden hose. Also not sure if he ever used that device with the hoses and gauge usually used to check pressure or is it Freon? For $89.95 for each (central air and furnace), I expect a super thorough job. I can’t get around these tuneups or I will void my warranty. I want to feel uber confident I am getting my moneys worth. Tech was super nice and very professional!"

"Francisco and his team (Ralph) did absolutely great work. If you are reading this review, book them. Your search for an HVAC contractor can stop here. I am a new home owner and had a lot of questions about my home. I am an engineer and wanted to understand the exact details of the repair.. They took the time to answer all of my questions, I had a few HVAC contractors estimate the work and they were the only ones that did not try to upsell. They explained the work to be done before and during the job. Afterwards they gave recommendations about future work that I plan to do. I would absolutely do business with them again and you should too. Note: I have no relation to them at all. I did not know the two of them before this job. I would absolutely do business with them again should their services be needed. It was a pleasure learning from them and they did quality work repairing the original issue they were contracted for. Additionally, they went above and beyond the contract to fix several other issues that occurred / were found during the job. This is the team you want to hire for your HVAC needs. They were fast, did quality work, were on time, had solid communication, and were reasonably priced. Francisco / Ralph, if you you ever need a referral, let me know. Again, great work guys. 10/10"

"This was routine preventive maintenance of my central A/C ARS is very professional and did a thorough testing and inspection of both my systems."
Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55 per hour.
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 cost for air duct cleaning is about $380, on average. However, costs can range between $270 and $500, depending on location, number of vents, duct accessibility, and how much cleaning is required.
