"Josh was very professional throughout the installation process and ensured my tenant on-site understood the basics. In addition, Josh sent Miguel the same day to ensure the humidifier was working properly."

"Alex is a go-getter, first of the Angi recommended repair people to reach out shortly after I put in my request. He was able to swing by for diagnostics quickly to see what part needed replacement, and even though the supply house was closed for the evening he went above and beyond and was able to track down a part to get the furnace up and running so I didn't have to freeze for the night. While he was performing the repairs/ service he humored me asking general questions about my HVAC system and was quite knowledgeable. He left the area tidier than it was when he arrived, and talked me through additional preventative maintenance items to keep an eye on to keep the system running at peak performance, even covering a few items on the air conditioner side to look out for in the spring/summer when I fire that up next (it is winter now). Would definitely recommend!"

"My case was an urgent one, and the Improved Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning team resolved the issue promptly and effectively that same day. It happened to be Halloween, a day when HOA staff usually leave early, yet their responsiveness was exceptional. When I called Mahdi to inform him of the situation, he arrived as quickly as possible despite the heavy traffic and repaired the heating system efficiently. Their office staff also kept me well informed about his schedule and handled everything with great professionalism. I truly appreciate their outstanding service and have added the company to my trusted list."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

AC capacitors typically last for a long time and many last for the life of the air conditioning unit. You can expect to get about 20 years out of an AC capacitor. When an AC capacitor suffers an untimely death, it’s usually due to overheating, a power surge, or a short circuit. You can prevent these events from happening and extend the life of an AC capacitor by getting regular AC maintenance every year.

There are several AC unit problems to troubleshoot, but luckily you can identify them by keeping a close eye on your system. Look out for the following signs that your AC needs repair:

  • Unusual noises during operation

  • AC unit blows warm air

  • AC unit doesn’t come on or turn off with temperature changes

  • Strange odors come through the vents

  • AC unit cycles on and off rapidly

  • Indoor air is more humid or less comfortable than usual

  • AC unit keeps tripping your breaker

  • Fan in the outdoor compressor doesn’t operate when the AC is on

Yes, a mini split AC system can replace central air—and quite easily, too. Since mini splits don’t require ductwork, homeowners can convert their central air system to a mini split to save money and energy. Consult with an HVAC professional to learn more about the process of replacing your central air with a mini split.

Set your house temperature between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit while on vacation, depending on the season. If it’s winter, don’t go below 55 degrees. In the summer, the best AC temperature for energy savings is no higher than 85 degrees. You can save anywhere from 10% to 15% on your energy costs by adjusting the temperature while you’re away. If you have a smart thermostat, set up vacation modes for each season. On your way home, turn off vacation mode to allow the home to warm up or cool down before you arrive.

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.
