"Extremely professional and thorough. I was delighted with the service. Two other HVAC companies had tried and failed to fix the problem I was having. Lucas quickly identified the problem and solved it with minimal cost. I would very highly recommend this company. NOTE -- cost of service represents only my out of pocket cost through my home warranty service.

"We had recently purchased a home and had reason to be believe it had been some time since the HVAC was serviced.  Aire Serv came out and performed a cleaning and inspection of the system.  The technician was punctual and polite.  He did a good job and fixed a minor leak we had in the condensation line. 



They offered some recommendations for improvements, but did not try to upsell us on anything.



We will be using Aire Serv again.

"This is a great company and I am glad they are around. Extremely professional, detail oriented, hard working and honest. I needed to replace my ancient HVAC system and I was fortunate to have had this company help me with that. I ended up with a couple of bids for the same brand and model and Comfort Zone gave me an honest price which was thousands less than a competitor (Again, same brand and model number). Equally important is that they know what they are doing and they do the job right unlike many of the less knowledgeable competitors. Honest, knowledgable, hard working, great to deal with! They have earned my business for sure."

"I was very satisfied with them. They did an excellent job. The amount I paid them was within their estimate and their time frame was perfect. They were honest workers. There was nobody living in that house. They took the opportunity to clean out and they did clean out. I would use their services in the future too."

"My a/c hadn't worked for two days, it was 90 degrees in the house. our go to hvac company is comfort heating and air, we called them, and a gentlemen named Taylor Burton showed up and promptly got to work. He was able to fix the issue within 10 minutes. He told us what was wrong, and even changed the filter to the unit. I highly recommend this company. I've used them before for my hvac needs, and both times they were able to fix whatever problem I had. 5/5 stars."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

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.

This is a bit of a trick question. Even though the seasons arrive at the same time every year, the weather doesn’t always behave according to the calendar. So, while it’s fair to say that you can expect to turn on your AC starting in late May or early June, it all depends on the outside temperature and how cool you like to keep your home.

Yes, ventless portable air conditioners exist, and not all standard portable air conditioners must be vented through a window.

Ventless portable units, often called evaporative coolers, do not have exhaust hoses. They use a water reservoir and a cooling pad to add moisture to the air, making it feel cooler. These units work best in dry climates because humid areas cannot absorb much additional moisture.

For standard portable air conditioners that do require venting, a window is not the only option; they can also be vented through a door, wall, or ceiling. However, it is essential to vent these units properly. Running a standard portable AC without venting it is counterproductive because it needs to expel heat to cool the room. Failing to do so will only increase the room's temperature.

You should know the main components of an air conditioner: the condenser coils, evaporator coils, drip pan, AC filter, ducts, and refrigerant. Each part plays a key role in the performance and safety of your AC system. When tracking the source of AC issues or odors, it helps to know where to look. Your outdoor unit houses your condenser coils, fan, and compressor. Your indoor unit houses your evaporator coils, drain lines, and filter, and it connects to your ductwork. 

Deciding whether to replace just the AC coil or the entire system depends on the age of your unit and the overall cost. Replacing a coil is less expensive than a full system replacement, but it can still be a pricey repair. If your HVAC system is relatively new and still under warranty, or if the replacement cost is significantly lower than a new system, replacing the coil can be a worthwhile investment that restores efficiency and extends the unit's life. However, for older systems (nearing the end of their 10-15 year lifespan) or those with extensive damage, it is often more cost-effective to replace the entire AC unit. Mismatched coils in an older system can lead to inefficiency and future breakdowns, so a full replacement ensures optimal performance and avoids further costly repairs.
