"Our air went out at the start of summer during an extremely hot period (90's+!). Due to the way our place is set up, it was a REALLY tough install that required using a crane to get the AC on the roof, and pulling the water heater - which it turns out needed replacement also (ugh!). Rich came to our rescue, even loaning us a portable AC that we could use until the install could be done. He worked hard, and coordinated well with the plumber we had in to pull/replace the water heater. He was friendly, very flexible and did good work. We're very happy with the service he gave us. On top of all of this, his price was very reasonable. Much less than the other guys and some of them took one look at our system and flat out refused the job! I highly recommend you call Rich and skip some of the "big names" in town that want to charge more, and work less hard for you. Its rare to find service companies these days with a solid work ethic, who deliver great service for a fair price."

"We had been having problems with an exterior silcock dripping while in the off position; as a result of landscapers over tightening it.  I was concerned the entire silcock might need to be replaced, rather than only the internal parts such as the washers; because a plumbing expert at a local home supply store said it would be unlikely to find internal parts to match/work.  The concern was due to the fact that our only access to the water supply connection point to the silcock (i.e., silcock extends 12 inches to the interior for anti-siphon/antifreeze function) would be through cutting/patching of the ceiling in our finished basement.  However, Kelly Chapman did have internal parts in his truck to match/work and made quick work removing the internal parts, replacing an internal washer and reassembling; which solved the dripping in the off position (and any potential pipe freeze this winter).  Now that enough time has passed since the repair in September, to monitor the silcock through some freezing weather, the silcock antifreeze function also appears to be working fine.
Kelly Chapman has also performed other previous plumbing services at our house (such as gas piping, toilet/water closet replacements, water valve replacements, etc.) and each time has been prompt, efficient, professional and reasonably priced.  We intend to continue hiring Kelly Chapman for future work, including a pending future master bathroom remodel.

"I received prompt service when setting up my appointment. Gentleman came promptly at time specified and gave a thorough estimate on what it would cost for system to be fixed. I also received options on how I could repair system with different money levels and the differences of warrantees. I was extremely impressed at how quickly my home was serviced."

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Most units are designed only to cool the house down to 20 degrees less than the temperature outside. This means that if it’s 99 degrees Fahrenheit out and you’re trying to cool your home down to 65 degrees, you’ll notice your AC is struggling. 

Lower the blinds on all your windows, turn on your ceiling fans, and keep the thermostat at a consistent temperature to help your AC do its job. Investing in an HVAC maintenance plan also helps because pros will come out to inspect and tune up your unit regularly, keeping it in optimal working condition.

While both have advantages, a split system is generally cheaper than a ducted one. Because they are less invasive to install, the labor costs are lower, and they can be more energy efficient. But, a ducted system might be worth the investment if you run it more frequently. 

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.

Capacitors are the most frequent part of an HVAC system to experience failure. These components are crucial for starting the motors that power the fans and compressor, but over time, they may become worn or fail due to electrical surges or regular wear and tear. When capacitors malfunction, HVAC systems may experience decreased heating or cooling efficiency, or even total system failure. Replacement or maintenance of capacitors is a common requirement for the optimal functioning of HVAC systems.

Florida rooms can have heat or air conditioning, although not all do. These rooms can be added to the existing HVAC system or use a mini-split system, or they may just use a ceiling fan or the breeze from the windows for cooling. Florida rooms with air conditioning often have glass windows to keep the cool inside instead of just mesh screens.
