How long do HVAC systems last?

<div><p>Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/save-money-replacing-heat-ac-same-time.htm">replace both simultaneously</a> to save on costs and future hassle. </p></div>

What time of year is the cheapest to replace HVAC?

<div><p>While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost. </p></div>

How much do HVAC companies typically charge?

<div><p>The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between <b>$50 and $150</b> per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between <b>$150 to $500</b>. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.</p></div>

Should HVAC technicians be certified or licensed?

<div><p>Yes, most states require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-hvac-certifications-do-technicians-need.htm">HVAC technicians to be certified</a>, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. </p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: </p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi </p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

How much are typical HVAC repair costs?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-hvac-repair-cost.htm">The average cost of HVAC repairs</a> is around <b>$350</b>. However, that price can be as low as <b>$100</b> or as high as <b>$2,000</b> or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from <b>$100 to $500</b>. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from <b>$750 to $2,000</b>. </p></div>

Our company is a nationally ranked at AAA for quality with awards, our customer base most of Chicago land suburbs,Normal trip and diagnostic charge 89.95 Emergency service trip and diagnostic charge 89.95, part warranties per manufacture, new equipment warranties 90 day, 1 year, 5 year, 10 year

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They wrongly installed new equipment and refuse to correct it. -------------- Here's the scam: Sell and put in a unit that mostly works, but needs annual repairs due to your incorrect installation. Parts are under warranty, but the service/labor is not, so you'll constantly call them out to work on the issues they created but refuse to actually fix. --------------- Eagle Air was recommended by my home warranty, American Home Shield. They replaced 2 full HVAC systems (furnaces and A/C) in my home. Total cost $15K+ Unbeknownst to me they did not replace the original copper lines. Replacement is standard when putting in a new unit as old lines are prone to leak. Per the installation manuals from the manufacturer, these lines are not the correct size for either of the units. I had an independent, licensed HVAC repair company out to confirm this as well. When this was brought to Eagle's attention, Angie said "We don't know if that's true. People lie about our work all the time." When I spoke to Tony, sent him images in email, he said "Don't worry about it." We scheduled an appointment in 5 days them to come assess the issues. I took off work for the day to wait 10-2p. At 1:25 I called to check in. Angie told me they were not coming. That they had cancelled the visit as I didn't want to pay the $149 travel fee (as these issues were part of their initial install) and that they didn't like the way I treated them. I was also not allowed to speak with Tony. They are refusing further communication and are not accountable for their own work. They knowingly installed this not to manufacture's speculations. This choice creates ongoing problems with the unit. As a customer and not an HVAC tech, I never would have identified this incorrect install without a 3rd party."

Call us today to schedule service with our friendly expert team. Struggling without heat in the winter or cool air in the summer is the last thing any homeowner wants. That's why getting reliable help fast when you need it is critical. TR Miller Heating & Cooling is the team that Naperville, Plainfield, and Chicagoland area homeowners trust to keep their indoor comfort systems working flawlessly year round.

"Thankful for the quick service. They claim a $79 fee to come out and provide a quote. The $79 fee can be applied to the job if I agree. What they don't tell you ahead of time is that they have a flat rate of $494 for the task. The task was nominal and took 45 minutes to complete. Pricing seems ridiculous. I know plumbers don't make anywhere near what we were charged. Even with overhead and a less than 1 hour job with $30 worth of parts, it is nowhere near what we were charged. Quite criminal. Wouldn't use them again. Boooooo."

"The men were very professional and fair. They tried very hard to fix the AC but the unit was deemed beyond repair. It was leaking coolant somewhere. They said they could give me a very good deal on a new AC with all parts and labor included if and when I choose to replace the AC unit with them. Even though the unit was not fixed because it was frankly beyond repair, I am still satisfied by their dedicated effort, honesty and professionalism. I will most likely buy a new AC from One Hour AC of Naperville in the near future."
