"Ductz of the Upper Bay Region cleaned my ductwork today. The team was professional and friendly. The cost was stated in advance as a firm price and not an estimate. They took before and after pictures which I found very helpful. The owner and his team went above and beyond to suggest ways that I can best maintain my A/C system to minimize the need for cleanings in the future. I recommend them highly."

"One of my AC compressors was not starting correctly every time. If it did start, it would run fine, but on hot days, when it would cycle frequently, (i.e. cool to target temp, stop, temp would heat up, thermostat would send signal to restart, and eventually the compressor would not restart). I don't remember the exact explanation, but I think there's a small fan linked to the capacitor. The fan provides some cooling to the capacitor which is stressed at startup time. Eventually the capacitor burned out because it wasn't getting its appropriate fan/cooling. First, this is a pretty specific problem. I'm fairly technical myself, and my father can fix anything. We had isolated the issue to the capacitor, but could figure out why it had failed. This is a large home and the large capacitor, so it really was a job for a professional -- capacitors offer plenty of opportunities to electrocute yourself pretty severely if your a "do-it-yourselfer." The No-Frost tech diagnosed the problem within a few minutes and explained it in detail. I called my old man to see what he thought, and confirmed that would definitely explain the problem. Second, the appropriate replacement part was an all-in-one capacitor/fan combo part specifically made by the vendor. Because my unit was a larger-than-typical unit AND these guys rushed out pretty much same day (or next morning -- I think it was a Friday going into a 95 degree weekend). The tech didn't have that exact part on his truck. He gave me two options, he had the same size capacitor and fan unit separately, so he could merge those together and get the unit functioning right then and there, or he could order the part and come back some time the following week -- he called the warehouse and they didn't have it in stock (my compressor is large and 10-years old). Given the weather, and everything else, I had him build the setup I needed, took him about 20 minutes to link the fan and capacitor together and the AC unit was humming along again shortly thereafter. I loved that he took the time to explain the problem in detail. He could tell i was "tinkerer," yet he was very politely patient with my ignorance (I had no idea the capacitor required its own cooling). I loved that he gave me the choice on waiting for the vendor's "officially sanctioned" part or just getting the unit working, and that he took the time to explain why this wasn't a risky workaround. I gave him a nice tip and emailed my neighborhood HOA email group the contact details as a reliable, trustworthy and well-priced service provider who will always go the extra mile for the customer. These guys fixed my furnace a year earlier when I nearly burned my house down by not paying attention to my intake... Would and have definitely recommend these folks for any HVAC needs."

"I had a gas leak issue and it was later identified that leak was on the outside of my house and Washington gas company fixed it. In the meantime I had approached Michael Bonsby to come and check if there are any issues inside my house. The contractor showed up and said that there is no issue with the HVAC and the pipes that are connected to the HVAC. He was suggesting that if there is a leak in the pipes that are inside the drywall, I have to contact a plumber. I wish the contracting company advised me that I may need a plumber in case the leak is in the pipes inside the drywall."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.

Set your house temperature between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit while on vacation, depending on the season. If it’s winter, don’t go below 55 degrees. In the summer, the best AC temperature for energy savings is no higher than 85 degrees. You can save anywhere from 10% to 15% on your energy costs by adjusting the temperature while you’re away. If you have a smart thermostat, set up vacation modes for each season. On your way home, turn off vacation mode to allow the home to warm up or cool down before you arrive.

The outdoor portions of air conditioners are designed to weather the rain, so you don’t need to worry about it. An awning or roof will help protect them from snow or falling debris, which can do more damage. This is true of both window AC and outdoor units for larger systems.

If your AC suddenly stops working, the first thing to check is your thermostat settings. Ensure the thermostat is set to the appropriate temperature and mode (cooling). Sometimes, a simple adjustment or replacing the batteries in the thermostat can resolve the issue. If that’s not the issue, look to see if the circuit breaker tripped. These basic checks can often identify simple fixes before you need to call for professional assistance.

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.
