"Had my spring maintenance done and couldn’t be happier with the service. The technician was on time, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly they also swapped out my nest thermostat for an ecobee and got it set up. Everything is running great and I highly recommend Pass One Hour."

"Shane and his team do really great work. Anytime I have a heating and cooling job I will definitely be calling them again. Thank you so much for replacing my ductwork."
"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
"Excellent service. Oscar and his crew go far and above what is necessary to fix or replace plumbing. They are very conscientious, courteous and respectful. They are also very considerate of your property, taking measures to insure that floors are kept clean and all debris is removed when they leave. I will hire Rardin Plumbing and Heating again, and I highly recommend them. "
"Almost immediately upon my request for service (via the website) I received a response, and I got excellent service from that point forward through completion of the project. Each individual I spoke with and met face-to-face was a professional and expressed their desire to expedite my order even during a time when it was very hot here, and I knew their workload was heavy. I'm extremely satisfied with the new A/C and expect to be happy with the new furnace when it gets cold here. Thanks for your diligence and an overall excellent job! David Cantrall"
If you have central air conditioning, it’s fine to run your AC all day if that’s what you want—as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don’t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we’ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren’t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time.
AC leaks are common, and an HVAC pro can usually fix them. You may be able to resolve some leaks on your own, but a professional HVAC technician should handle most AC leak repair. If left ignored, an AC leak could cause serious damage to your system or leave you with expensive water damage, usually leading to more costly repairs or replacements.
Yes, mini-split systems are generally less expensive to run than central air conditioners and are significantly more energy-efficient. Because mini-splits do not rely on ductwork, they avoid the energy loss associated with ducted systems, allowing cooled or heated air to reach its destination more efficiently. Additionally, they offer zoned control, meaning you can run units in individual rooms and turn them off in unoccupied areas. This capability can lead to energy savings of about 30% compared to a central air system, resulting in a lower monthly energy bill.
To reset your air conditioner, start by turning it off at the thermostat. Then, shut off power to the AC system at the circuit breaker. Some units have a dedicated "reset" button; if yours does, press and hold it for three to five seconds. If your air conditioner doesn't have a reset button, or if you are resetting it after a power outage, leave the circuit breaker off for at least 30 minutes to allow the system to reset itself. Afterward, turn the power back on at the breaker, turn on the AC from the thermostat, and set it to "cool" to test the system.
The general rule of thumb for figuring out how much AC tonnage you need in your home is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of space you need to cool, you’ll need one ton of AC cooling power. So, a 1,000-square-foot home will need 2 tons of AC power.
