"We have been happy with All Temp Heating/Air Conditioning Inc.  Then they told us we needed a part, I think the part was like 600 dollars.  So we didn't know what to do.  Originally All Temp had installed the air conditioner.  The reason we didn't use All Temp is because the charge for servicing the air conditioner was more."

"Excellent, timely, and knowledgeale service. I had them come to clean the air ducts, but they were able to comprehensively answer some other questions I had about my HVAC situation. I am going to use them from now on for my HVAC needs. Recommend!"

"They came early in the morning for a new HVAC install. Everything went well. They were neat and clean. The price was well below a comparable system from another company. They provided several options to replace out ageing HVAC system"

"In May of 2021, CR Mechanical replaced our HVAC equipment (furnace and AC), and installed a new air scrubber and an ecobee thermostat. We were very satisfied with their work (exceeded expectations), and Craig is an excellent installer (that was most important to us). The ecobee was defective out of the box, and he reinstalled our old thermostat and was back the next day (as promised) to install a replacement ecobee. Everything works great."

"I needed a new HVAC. I received a prompt bid at an extremely favorable price. The technicians who installed my new unit were extremely knowledgeable and personable! They finished the job in one day, even though they had estimated it would take two whole days. They cleaned up after themselves in a marvelous way."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Setting your AC unit to 78 degrees can, indeed, help you save energy. In fact, according to experts, every degree you turn the unit up could save you between 1% and 3% on your energy bills. That said, turning your unit off entirely while you’re out might actually be less efficient than keeping it on at a higher temperature. Why? The unit will need to work extra hard to cool the house back off again after all those hot hours. 

Many HVAC manufacturers provide warranties that encompass the cost of a new compressor, with durations ranging from 5 to 10 years, depending on the brand. These warranties cover critical components such as the compressor, condenser, connecting tubing, evaporator, and refrigerant charge. Moreover, they often include the necessary labor for replacement or repairs. Keep in mind that premium-brand compressors may offer lifetime warranty options. It's essential to note that these warranties rarely cover labor costs.

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.

Traditional central air conditioning systems require ductwork to circulate air throughout the home. Alternatively, you can add air conditioning with a mini-split ductless air conditioning system, which can be just as energy efficient as a central air conditioner. This type of system consists of two units–an outside unit that holds the compressor and condenser and an indoor unit that holds an air-handler. With multi-zone ductless systems, there are multiple indoor air handlers tied to a single outdoor compressor/condenser, allowing the system to cool multiple rooms.

A non-maintained AC is more likely to perform poorly, increase your energy bills, and undergo more severe issues like breakage and water damage. That’s why DIY cleaning or professional maintenance is recommended annually. Otherwise, you might end up paying more in the end than you would for annual service. You can purchase cheap AC cleaning kits if you prefer going the DIY route.
