"I wanted to clean a second floor dryer vent hose that was loaded solid with lint. It was worse than I thought! Packed solid! It became evident that this was a messy and dangerous situation as it was a fire hazard. Through Angi I found Everclean and the co. was a perfect fit. HVAC companies don’t do dryer vents. Justin from Everclean was awesome and got the problem straightened out. He even discovered the dryer vent had become disconnected from outside dryer vent door! I can’t fit through the narrow attic hatchway as my shoulders are a bit too wide, so I depended on Justin. Finally, everything is buttoned up, and our clothes now dry in half the time. Cost was moderate and was money well invested. Dryer vent fire danger is now negligible compared to before. Along with neighbor hatred danger. I would hire Everclean again if needed again."
"very honest people to work with. didn't try to sell me a service I didn't need. all three men were very professional. I would recommend them to everyone. thanks guys. see you next year."
"Our family highly recommends Josh and Year Round HVAC. We have an old central AC system in our home, over 20 years old. We noticed dirt in the vents on our wall mounted units and realized that the insides of this system had likely never been cleaned, and we certainly didn't have the tools or expertise to get in these units and deeply clean them ourselves. A simple Google search led to me Josh's company. Even though I live in a town that isn't on his list of service areas, he still responded to my request promptly, and readily agreed to clean and service our AC system. Josh cleaned both of them quickly and a combination of UV Light and steam flushing, and these units have never looked, or smelled, better. Josh could have easily passed on this job, or told me our system was too old and to just plan on replacing it, but instead he enthusiastically took on the challenge and did a great job. Josh was pleasant, upbeat and cheerful, and clearly he loves doing this work. I will gladly call Josh again in the future for all my heating and AC needs."
"The company was extremely professional in terms of using the hose properly .They did everything in a timely manner. Very clean and efficient work! Excellent customer service all around!"
"Their work cleaning our vents and air handler was professionally and thoroughly completed. Good communication on all fronts- scheduling, quoting the cost and explaining the process."
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
Yes. It's not just AC filters that get dirty. Ducts can accumulate dust and dirt quickly. Insects and animals can also get into duct systems, creating many problems. Dirt build-up and unwanted guests can constrict the airflow and cause rooms not to cool evenly. You might also see higher energy bills because they're not working as efficiently.
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.
On a summer day, expect your AC to run between 12 and 16 hours. However, this time frame depends on just how hot it is outside and the comfortable temperature you’re hoping to maintain indoors. Assuming the size of your AC is appropriate for the space you’re trying to cool, it shouldn’t be a problem for it to work this many hours.
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
Dry mode positively impacts indoor air quality by reducing excess moisture, which stops the growth of mold and mildew. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, dry mode creates a less hospitable environment for allergens and airborne pathogens, improving overall air quality. However, it's essential to ensure proper ventilation to prevent stale air accumulation.
