"Angel and Tyler worked their butts off to help us with our air conditioning. They unfortunately had to do way more work than expected, however they were at our house late and always stayed in communication on what was going on. They did a great job and were very detailed and thorough with all testing making sure that the job was done right and there were no issues. We had a great experience!"

"Emily was the product manager - she assessed the insulation we had, which was very inadequate, and gave us a range of upgrade options. A team of three guys did the work, solving some of our problems in a very resrouceful way. Then Emily came back and checked everything over. We were very happy with both the work performed and the customer service. The house feels unusually toasty now. We'll update this review in the spring after we see if we get our usual ice dams - hoping they're gone forever."

"Miracle mechanical installed my AC and furnace into a house that didn't currently have an AC. Freddy was professional and had a great work ethic. I would recommend him to anyone that was looking into having HVAC work done. He's done work for my family and friends and they have had the same experience."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Most AC repair technicians will take between two and six hours to carry out repairs, depending on the work needed and the accessibility of the unit. For example, recharging refrigerant lines should take one to two hours to service, while replacing a compressor, blower fan, or other major components can take five to eight hours. You can ask your AC repair technician how long they expect the job to take, but just in case, you should plan on being home and available for most of the day.

If you’re planning an AC replacement, choosing an AC with a higher SEER rating may save you money in the long run. Tax credits could cover as much as 30% of the job, and you’ll notice smaller utility bills (particularly if you live in a hot climate where you need to constantly run the AC). Generally, you can expect to pay between $350 and $1,500 for each SEER rating increase. Weigh the cost against your typical utility bill to figure out what’s worth it to you.

Some of the signs of HVAC issues include rising energy bills, rooms not cooling or heating properly, loud noises when in operation, and signs of condensation. To illustrate, if you’re wondering how to stop condensation on air vents, you’ll need to have your HVAC inspected. 

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.

No, you don’t need a ductless unit in every room. Ductless AC units don't work the way that window units do, where the air doesn't travel outside that room. The indoor air handlers all attach to the outdoor condenser. While the air doesn't travel the way that traditional ductwork would, the ductless AC units create zones so that one part of the home can be cooler than another. They can spread effectively enough that indoor units only need to be placed in main living areas.
