"Pros * Very friendly and prompt customer service in setting up a service call and completing product orders * Only $59 initial charge for initial diagnosis fee (this charge for weekdays; $85 for weekends) * Technician was extremely personable/friendly; thoroughly and patiently explained every step of his work * For products to be purchased to complete repairs, the technician thoroughly explained how products would improve performance and patiently helped us to find the most affordable solution. * Decent rates for products purchased for repairs. * For the past month, the installed products have significantly improved performance as we have had no freeze-ups of the coil and we experience better cooling. Cons None experienced From the initial call to the end of the product installation, we were thoroughly pleased with the service of Smith Air Conditioning. I have never worked with such an overtly friendly technician; he went out of his way to be nice to my family and me. We had many questions for him as we have been stiffed by AC companies in the past, but he was quite patient with us and explained solutions in a way that made good sense. Further, the secretary at the Smith AC office was very friendly as well, and they were quite prompt and getting a technician out to our place, in placing product orders, and in ensuring that our unit was working better. Additionally, we found the pricing for the products we purchased to be affordable, and the tech did not try to strong-arm us to purchase anything. Finally, for the past month, the products installed have improved the cooling performance of the AC, and the products are working as promised to ensure that the AC does not freeze up on cooler nights. If you choose this company for AC repairs, I sincerely believe that you will be thankful for your excellent choice for years to come. Thanks to Quenton (our AC technician) and all the staff at Smith Air Conditioning for exemplary service. Update: 01/21/2021 Smith Air sent Andrea out to us to have another look at our AC as the handler coil continues to freeze though a freeze stat was recently installed. Upon his arrival, we noticed how friendly and easy-going he was. After observing and analyzing the unit operation, he determined that the freeze stat was connected properly, hence, he was unsure as to why it is not performing well. However, we agreed that adding refrigerant as we were a bit low would help to lower the likelihood of the coil freezing until we resolved the freeze stat issue. So, after the refrigerant was added, we quickly noticed the house cooling faster. Over the next several days, we will continue working with Smith Air to hopefully resolve our problems with freeze stats. Throughout the visit of Andrea, he was friendly and fully willing to answer all our questions. He also provided professional, sensible explanations which my folks and I appreciated. We are truly grateful for the help of Andrea, and we are thankful for the commitment and understanding in working through this strange freeze stat problem. In all my years working with HVAC companies, I have never been as pleased and impressed as I have been with Smith Air. Thanks to you all."

"Living in an older home, we wondered if unseen molds and mildew were affecting our family’s health. Our allergy symptoms were becoming worse when at home and seemed to be better when we were away. We made an inquiry with Eagle to have our AC ducts cleaned; but their careful inspection and willingness to show us that with more effort, we could rid our home of rodents, pests, molds and mildew in attic affecting our home’s ventilation system. Eagle removed and replaced insulation with insulation treated with boric acid to deter pests. AC ducts were replaced, and vents were cleaned. They sealed off gaps between the attic and outside. The Eagle crew was professional and courteous. The foreman was onsite at all times making sure that we were satisfied with each stage of the job. It’s been 1 week and everyone at home reports having clearer eyes, less sneezing and coughing. We highly recommend Eagle."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a ductless mini-split AC system ranges from $2,000 to $14,000, depending on the type of unit, the number of zones or rooms, and the complexity of the installation. On the low end, a system for one or two zones in a single room costs around $2,000. Covering two zones for more rooms can cost between $6,000 and $8,000. For a larger multi-zone system to cover an entire home, costs can be $14,000. If you don’t already have an AC system in place, you may need to add the cost of permits, an electrician, and a concrete pad.

The size window AC you need depends on the BTU and the size of the room you’re cooling. For a room with 8-foot ceilings, look for about 20 BTU per square foot of the room. For example, a 12-by-12-foot room should have an air conditioner with 2,880 BTU. You can buy something slightly more powerful, but don’t overshoot the BTU for a small room, or you’ll waste energy and have higher bills.

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.

You can run an HRV with air conditioning—assuming that you decide to keep the system on during the summer. The HRV will continue to bring in fresh outdoor air, which will then flow into your AC unit and cool down your home. It will also keep moving the stuffy indoor air out of your house.

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.
