They were quiet a church mice since I work at night. They drained my old hot water heater, changed them out without a spot in the house. The new equipment worked perfectly. When they removed 1/4 of our roof and replaced some boards and applied a new roof their work was superb and...

Take a little longer than five minutes but it was pretty fast. These guys did a good job. I was in a month or so earlier and the attendant advised me to continue driving another 1000 miles before the oil change since I was using Mobil 1 oil. That impressed me.

First of all, I called Central Heating & Air at 7:30 a.m. (their opening time). They always promptly answer the phone. After reporting a problem with our upstairs a/c unit (this is South Louisiana, and it is hot and humid -- not a good time to have a/c problems). She said 'we can come...

They have bent over backwards many times for a Heating & A/C unit. I was trying to apply for my warrenty online and the lady in the office had already applied for the warrenty and she mailed me the information I needed. The service men that come out are very personable, they tell you what...

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

You need to service an HVAC system about twice per year, with a service including an inspection and basic maintenance. It’s best to schedule maintenance in the spring (after the furnace has been running and before the AC kicks on) and in the fall (after the AC worked hard all summer and before winter’s first chill arrives).

Regular HVAC services will keep the system working as efficiently as possible, saving you money on utilities and larger repairs. HVAC maintenance costs around $250 per visit, while bigger repairs from forgotten upkeep could cost thousands.

Your HVAC manufacturer will give you instructions on how often you should service your system. Have your unit professionally serviced at least once a year when in doubt.

Heat pump systems are different because they provide heating and cooling solutions for your home. In this case, you should have it serviced at least twice a year.

Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.

NATE-certified technicians may charge slightly higher service fees compared to non-certified technicians. This is because NATE certification signifies a higher level of expertise and professionalism, often leading to more efficient and effective HVAC repairs and installations. While the upfront cost may be marginally higher, NATE-certified technicians can potentially save you money in the long run by reducing energy consumption, preventing frequent breakdowns, and extending the life span of your HVAC system. When looking for a local HVAC company to hire, it never hurts to ask about NATE certifications.

There are three main types of heat pumps. An air-source heat pump system is the most common and has two parts—an indoor air handler unit and an outdoor heat pump unit. A ductless heat pump system functions similarly to an air-source heat pump system but doesn’t need ductwork to distribute the air. A geothermal heat pump system pulls heat from the ground to help heat your home.
