"Fantastic service and is now my go-to for any HVAC issues. AC wasn’t blowing cold in June during covid. Hopped on Internet to look for good reviewed HVAC repair and the first couple of good reviewed places I called either weren’t taking new clients or who’s first available appointments were weeks away. Called MD H&C and they were able to fit me in the following day. They gave me the price of each step BEFORE performing the step and making sure I consent (i.e. our diagnosis fee is X amount, ok your issue is this...the cost to fix it plus the diagnosis will cost Y, etc). There also were no hidden charges. The number I was provided was what I paid and I thought a very fair/good number. They also educated me each step of the way and showed me what caused the issue and how they would fix it. I have dial zone HVAC with both the same condescending unit brands for each level. They even checked the 2nd one out free of charge and fixed some things to prevent the same issue from happening in that one in the future (it was on its way to the same issue). Cannot recommend Maryland Heating and Cooling enough. Will use them for all my future needs!"

"I had them replace my entire HVAC system (furnance + AC). They did a great job through the whole process. Out of four quotes I received, they were the only ones that took the time to do a full heating and cooling load calculation for my house when they came to do an estimate in addition to making detailed measurements of our utility room to make sure anything they installed would fit. They gave me three proposals ranging from low-end, mid-range, and high end options and explained the equipment in each of them in detail, including documenting all the model numbers, efficiency ratings, and specs. What they recommended matched up with my research I did prior to receiving estimates. They were very responsive, knowledgeable, and professional so I gave them the job. The crew arrived on time, worked hard the whole day, were respectful of my house, and did not require supervision (although, they told me I was more than welcome to ask questions and watch anything they were doing). They cleaned up, explained the warranty and rebate options with all the paperwork already filled out so that all I had to do was sign--they even mailed both the warranty and rebate off for me. The whole process went great. While their prices were fair they were not the cheapest, but I have no doubt they did a great job, didn't cut corners, and will stand by their work if I experience any problems. They are a reasonably sized HVAC business and not a one-man-band shop like many places in the area, so I know they will likely still be around through the life of the warranty and are well staffed to respond to emergencies, including a 24/7 emergency service number. Overall, we're very happy with the new system and it's a huge improvement over what it replaced--both the AC and furnace are much quieter than the old units, more energy efficient, and perform better. It's been a month since the install and everything has been working fine without problems."

"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HVAC Superior Solutions Inc!! They came over to diagnose my AC problem on very short notice. I decided to get a whole new system and they took great care in all the details and worked overtime to get the job completed. I am very satisfied with the new system and with the great customer service."

"Victory HVAC installed 2 mini splits for me. Great communication, they showed up when they said they would, the job was completed in one day. They worked with me regarding placement as well as advice what brand to buy. Excellent service, reasonable price, they cleaned up when done and were very easy to work with. Yossi is extremely knowledgeable about all things HVAC. Super nice guy to boot. I will definitely use Victory HVAC for all my HVAC needs in the future. 5+ stars"

"My experience with JDL HVAC Services was outstanding. JDL replaced two aging HVAC systems in my home. The technicians who performed the installation were knowledgeable and customer focused - as I asked many questions during the installation. They answered each question without hesitation. They took measures to safeguard my home, e.g. placing drop cloths to protect flooring, wearing shoe covers. The old systems were hauled away, along with all packaging from the new HVAC systems. Overall, I am extremely pleased with JDL HVAC Services."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

ACs don't run on water. They're not connected to drain pipes or any part of your plumbing system. However, they need refrigerant to run. Refrigerant is a gas or liquid that has a low boiling point and absorbs the heat in your home. ACs need this in order to be functional and cool your home. If you suspect your AC is low on refrigerant, you need to contact a licensed HVAC professional. Refrigerant is a dangerous chemical that requires specialized training and permits to work with. 

Yes, it’s best to turn off an AC unit that’s blowing hot air to prevent system damage and avoid expensive energy bills. If you let the AC continue running, it will put more strain on the condenser coil and compressor. Plus, if the AC is blowing hot air because of a refrigerant leak, it can also lead to a frozen evaporator coil.

Yes, a dirty air filter can cause a higher electric bill. That’s because clogged filters make it harder for air to flow through your HVAC system, which forces it to work harder and use more energy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, replacing dirty filters can save you between 5% and 15% in utility costs.

No, for two very important reasons. First, it’s illegal to release refrigerant into the air or ground since it can be toxic and cause environmental damage. Technicians typically pump old or extra refrigerant into separate tanks for special disposal. Second, without professional equipment to read refrigerant pressure and levels, plus the AC’s suggested requirements, it’s impossible to know if you’ve removed the right amount of refrigerant. Stay away from a DIY solution here and seek an expert with the right tools.

Window ACs use 500 to 1,400 watts per hour of electricity, while mini-splits use 500 to 700 watts per hour. However, if you need to cool multiple zones in your house, your mini-split can use as much as 2,000 watts per hour. How often you run your system will impact how much electricity you use (and how much you pay per month).
