"Kevin arrived today for the Spring Preventive Maintenance service on our HVAC system that we purchased a few years ago from Holtzople Heating & Air Conditioning. As always, we received an email and a phone call to let us know when the HVAC technician would be arriving. The Holtzople HVAC technicians are always very professional, clean, thorough, and polite and friendly. They are always willing to answer any questions we have, and their expertise and experience are evident in the excellent service they provide."

"Our AC unit began leaking water and marginally working late on a summer Friday night, and then completely broke down over a sweltering weekend. We called McCrea's emergency line first thing in the morning because of our two young children. McCrea sent a technician to our home over the weekend in a matter of a few short hours. Mark was very professional, arrived on time, and repaired our system quickly. He expressed concern that the issues may continue in the medium term, and noted we may need to consider replacing our system. Mark offered to call his supervisor, who might be available to come over the same day (again, over the weekend!) to conduct a technical evaluation, and let us know our options. We jumped on the opportunity. Brooks arrived shortly on the same day, spent a good deal of time taking measurements and assessing our current unit and usage, and developed three replacement options (at different pricing levels) tailored for our home. He sat down and explained each replacement option, the rationale for each, and the pricing. We asked a lot of questions, which he patiently answered. We decided to replace our struggling system within a few weeks. Brooks remained engaged and responsive to our questions in the interim, and a McCrea team, led by Logan arrived on the appointed day to replace the entire system. The team was professional, courteous, and efficient, replacing the system in a few short hours, and kept us apprised of developments. When the installation was done, Logan walked us through each system, their respective manuals and documentation, and our new touchscreen user interface for the entire HVAC. Our family has had the new HVAC system for a few weeks now, and it functions beautifully. Our home's temperature and humidity is much more comfortable, and the system is quieter, easier to use, and less expensive to operate. We have had a service contract with McCrea for about eight years--since our last home--and will continue to have one with them. They are super reliable and professional. Highly recommended."

"I have an annual contract with R.W. Harrell's Pump Service to clean and service the heating and A/C systems at my home. Their employees and always prompt, courteous and professional and ALWAYS do an excellent job with cleaning up before they leave. Their prices are reasonable and I like dealing with locally owned companies as opposed to the nationally owned companies. I would highly recommend R.W. Harrell to all of my friends and relatives for their HVAC needs.

"The price was part of my check up I got. I just like that they seemed to want to talk me into having my air conditioning cleaned and it only been out there like 6 months. My interaction with them was fine. I told them no and so be it. The work turned out fine. They were fine."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

It’s not customary to tip HVAC technicians, and most professionals won’t expect it. However, it’s a nice way of showing your appreciation for the work they do, especially if they come out in inclement weather or on a weekend or holiday to fix an emergency issue if your heat or AC goes out in extreme temperatures. A good tip would be between 10% to 20% of the total bill, depending on how above and beyond the tech goes for your repair and on the total cost of your HVAC repair or service. For something like a routine tune-up or scheduled maintenance, tips aren’t expected.

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.

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.

For the most part, you should leave your AC fan in “auto” mode so that it only runs during a heating or cooling cycle. Keeping it in this position uses less energy, which equals lower utility bills. However, there are some situations where it’s better to leave your AC fan on, including if you have allergies or there are lots of people in your home.

Yes, you can put an AC unit on the roof of your home or commercial building. For proper installation, you’ll need to ensure the roof surface is flat, it’s accessible for maintenance and cleaning, and an AC installation pro agreed that your home is a candidate for package units. Don’t forget to consider the climate in your area, as homes that experience frequent tropical storms or hurricanes may not benefit from this type of system.
