"I had a great experience with McCarthy. They entertained the other offers I had for HVAC replacement, agreed to what felt like a very fair price and did a great job the next day doing the replacement. I'd highly recommend them to anyone for HVAC work."

"I am SO pleased with this experience with GAC and highly recommend them! OUTSTANDING information and research on our behalf by Kelly for estimate options and finding the best unit and price for our needs. Chris was very impressive when he came to our home for preparation of the HVAC air handler/heat pump installment. Top notch work by John and the GAC crew on the actual work putting in my unit. They gave us the option and were qualified to run/install a new wire for our electric needs to have all energy savings of the equipment. Easy scheduling with Monica and follow-up too. ALL the GAC staff were happy to answer our various questions in full detail so we understood everything in this project and could make informed decisions. GAC found a high quality unit (Bryant) that suited our needs AND qualified for a PEPCO rebate, which they quickly filed on our behalf. We have been customers for years with GAC for maintenance and with this install, plan to be for years to come."

"My outside HVAC unit was no longer working, however, everything on the inside of the house was. Isac W. was able to diagnose and solve the problem in a short amount of time. Isac was courteous and the price of the service was as expected. I would definitely recommend this business for your HVAC needs."

"I would highly recommend HPC Services! They responded quickly when we called for an estimate on a new heat pump. The gentlemen who were in our home installing the unit were professional and polite and very nice to our little dogs. Sergio stayed and answered all of our questions until late in the evening. They offered us a free duct cleaning and that was completed on Monday after the Friday install. Emmett worked quickly and professionally. He was so very nice and easy to talk to. I was most impressed with the fact that they offer a Veterans discount. If are looking for an amazing company for any HVAC work, I urge you to give them a call!! Karen Hamner"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

While all portable AC units will collect moisture as part of their cooling and dehumidifying process, whether and how often you need to drain them depends on what kind of unit you have and the natural humidity levels where you live. For example, if you live in a very dry area and have a self-evaporating unit, you may not need to drain your portable AC very often at all. Some units may automatically drain collected moisture out the window through their exhaust vent.

While personal preferences widely vary, sleep experts say the best temperature for sleeping is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit rather than 78. If you do choose to sleep with your AC unit tuned to 78 degrees, you might want to use only a sheet or light blanket rather than a comforter. You might also consider installing a window unit in your bedroom so that you can be cooler in bed without wasting energy cooling the whole house.

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 keep a window air conditioner in good working order, you should clean the filter regularly, inspect the seals, and store the unit properly during the off-season.

Deciding whether to replace just the AC coil or the entire system depends on the age of your unit and the overall cost. Replacing a coil is less expensive than a full system replacement, but it can still be a pricey repair. If your HVAC system is relatively new and still under warranty, or if the replacement cost is significantly lower than a new system, replacing the coil can be a worthwhile investment that restores efficiency and extends the unit's life. However, for older systems (nearing the end of their 10-15 year lifespan) or those with extensive damage, it is often more cost-effective to replace the entire AC unit. Mismatched coils in an older system can lead to inefficiency and future breakdowns, so a full replacement ensures optimal performance and avoids further costly repairs.
