"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."

"Scott came out and diagnosed the problem with precision and skill. Unfortunately the supply place for the parts closed early yesterday for Black Friday. He went there early in the morning and came back and fixed our furnace quickly on Saturday at no extra charge. Excellent Customer Service and work. Highly recommend to All. Scott is a true professional."

"Best Air Quality and Restoration did a spectacular job! I can't say enough about the employees. They did an outstanding job! They were punctual,polite and followed social distancing protocols.They assessed the home and cleaned the air ducts quickly and efficiently. I am very pleased with their service and highly recommended this company. I purchased a new home and had them come clean the ducts to improve the homes environment. They showed me before and after pictures and I noticed a difference right away"

"Our dryer vents from the center of the house to just under the second story eves. He did a great job of cleaning it from both ends, and adjusted the dryer hose to an optimal length and resealed it with tape. Also cleaned vents well. I am very particular about mechanics, handymen, and service people. Mack's is on the short list of people I will hire again. The serviceperson was polite and personable as well as very competent. And, he took pains not to track up the carpets. Mack's is a good choice. You'll be satisfied w the results."

"Sunday 6/22 my mom's air conditioner was struggling. We called Aireserv who set up for their tech Bryson Bean to come out to mom's house. From the bright greeting smile as he introduced himself to the going over everything he was very professional and patient with all my questions. Highly recommend Aireserv for any of your heating and air conditioning issues. Thank you Bryson for being so you and personable."

"These guys were fantastic! Rony and Luz were a great team and were very thorough in cleaning my ducts. They showed me before and after pictures of my ducts and wow what a difference! They were able to walk me through the whole process and show me exactly what they were doing, and answered any questions I had. I can tell that there is better air quality in my house and the air is blowing stronger out of the vents. I have already recommended Fair Duct and the Rony/ Luz team to friends and family."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Yes. Return air vents are responsible for gathering and pulling in the warmer air. Once they draw it in, your system conditions the air by removing the warmer molecules from it, allowing your air conditioner to dispense the cooler air back into your home. Not only does this create a more comfortable environment for you, but it also keeps your air conditioner from overworking, resulting in lower energy bills. 

Yes, it is possible. An electrical fire can break out if the compressor has inadequate ventilation. When it overheats but doesn't have a proper thermal cutout, this can cause the motor to short-circuit and catch fire. This risk is exacerbated if flammable materials, like dust and fallen leaves, are clogging the unit. The compressor overheating won't start a fire by itself, but poor maintenance and installation can increase the risk once it hits its breaking point and short-circuits.

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.

Most HVAC service calls include diagnostic fees, which could include checking on a specific issue you’re experiencing or running through a routine inspection checklist. If you called for a particular problem, the service call will also include an estimate to fix the issue, including materials and labor. Depending on your HVAC technician and the service you requested, you might also get a general inspection of your system components to ensure everything is working as intended.

Capacitors are the most frequent part of an HVAC system to experience failure. These components are crucial for starting the motors that power the fans and compressor, but over time, they may become worn or fail due to electrical surges or regular wear and tear. When capacitors malfunction, HVAC systems may experience decreased heating or cooling efficiency, or even total system failure. Replacement or maintenance of capacitors is a common requirement for the optimal functioning of HVAC systems.
