"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."

The man I had my previous HVAC service contract with passed away in January and, before he died, he sold his service contracts to GAC.  I learned of this in two letters I received just about the time my spring service was due, one letter from the old company, explaining the death and sale, along with a letter from GAC welcoming me.  Since they had my money I figured I?d give them a try.  I called GAC on a Monday and scheduled my spring maintenance for Thursday.  On Tuesday my A/C made a horrendous noise and I shut it off.  Called GAC to ask if we could move the visit up to Wednesday and they said ?sure?.  Tech arrived on time on Wednesday, explained that my 19 year old system might not have too many years left.  I could spend $1,000 to replace the fan motor and cross my fingers that the condenser didn't go next, or invest in a new Furnace and A/C.  He patiently answered all my questions, we went over the pros and cons, and he didn?t talk down to me (which frequently happens as I am an older woman), under the circumstances it was a wonderful experience.  While he worked up the estimate for a new system in the van I did a computer search of the company and how much a new HVAC system should cost.  I figured I could spend weeks shopping around, but I had travel scheduled for much of April and really didn?t have time for that.  I lucked out, there were several rebates available in April from Washington Gas, PEPCO and Bryant, all of which the tech explained.  I was given two proposals with two different models, I accepted GAC?s proposal on the spot and they had their Quality Assurance man in my house on Thursday taking measurements and answering my questions (he also arrived right on time).  A new Furnace and Air Conditioner were installed on Monday, the furnace passed inspection yesterday, and everything is working well.  The new system is so much quieter than my old system and it appears to be very efficient.  Everyone I worked with at GAC was wonderful, very nice, professional, answered all my questions.  The three man team who installed the system was so upbeat for a Monday morning, I was amazed.  They arrived on time and went right to work like a well oiled machine.  One started outside on the Air Conditioner while the other began tearing out the furnace, the third was floating, helping each of the others, while unloading the trucks.  They had to work in a very tight closet like space but I never heard any grumbling.  They sang along with their music, truly seemed to like each other and they answered my questions as they worked.  They didn?t seem to be bothered by the fact that I checked in on them often.  A very different experience than the one I had 19 years ago when the old system was installed!  They warned me that, because of the area was tight, it could take up to 6 hours to complete, which it did.  They started a little after 8:00 and were done by 4:00. They left the area spotless and took their time walking me through the operation of the new thermostat, how to send in for the rebates and how to call for the county inspection.  All in all, I am happy I stayed with GAC Services and would highly recommend them.

"I received six estimates for replacing my air conditioning system. Of the six, four came in at a reasonable price including the estimate from the Michael Bonsby Company. Three of the four estimators made a good impression but the one who impressed me the most was David Lux of Michael Bonsby. He spent the most time, provided the most information, and fully answered all of my questions in all of my contacts with him prior to signing the contract. Even after I signed the contract, had the system installed, and made final payment, David Lux was still very prompt in answering my inquiries. So far I am very happy with the air conditioning system installed by and I would highly recommend the Michael Bonsby Company if you ever need to replace your air conditioning system."

"Carroll Mechanical delivered a 10/10 experience, from start to finish. From the first call, the Carroll Mechanical team demonstrated that they were knowledgable, ethical, and customer-first. First, they offered to help me troubleshoot, and they gave me some great tips that allowed me to try and fix the problem myself before they made a service call. As a not-so-handy guy, I realized that I needed the pros, so I requested on-site help. They immediately offered to come over on the day and time most convenient for me, and they spent time with me walking through the pros/cons of different HVAC options. Ultimately, the team explained the pros/cons of different remediation options, offered me an extremely competitive quote, and was transparent all along the way. I moved forward with a system replacement, which they were able to accommodate the same week(!!). The Carroll Mechanical team was timely, detail-oriented, and respectful of my home, and the HVAC system was installed as expected."

"Great! He provided additional information, suggesting I install a UV Light Air Purifier to my HVAC system. Which would help eliminate the possibility of mold growing in my vents."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

You will only need to refill your AC with refrigerant if it has a leak. Otherwise, a modern, well-maintained AC will most likely never need a recharge. You may notice a leak in an older system if your bills are higher, you hear a hissing sound, or if the air is blowing out hot.

While "dry" mode on your AC can help reduce humidity levels to some extent, it may not be as effective as a dedicated dehumidifier, especially in areas with extremely high humidity or larger spaces. Dehumidifiers are specifically designed to remove moisture from the air more efficiently, making them a better choice for tackling persistent humidity issues.

Replacing both an AC and a furnace takes a full day on average, ranging from eight to 12 hours. The process involves removing the old units, installing the new ones, and ensuring all connections are properly made. If both systems are being replaced simultaneously, it can take longer than installing a furnace alone, so plan accordingly.

You should only run your dehumidifier in warmer months, such as spring and summer, to get the best performance out of your system. The air gets drier when temperatures drop in the winter months, creating less of a need for a dehumidifier. However, when to run a dehumidifier will depend on your local climate.
