"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."

"We got five different work proposals for our HVAC replacement. The person who came to our house was very technically knowledgable. He gave us his cell phone number and gave us plenty of his time answering our questions. I think this contractor would have done an excellent job at a good price."

"Great company for HVAC servicing!! Booking an appointment was quick and easy. Fair and transparent pricing with no surprises. JDL HVAC Services technician Isak Waktola called to inform me that he was in route, arrived on time and did a wonderful job cleaning and servicing my HVAC system. He provided a detailed analysis of my system and offered recommendations for my consideration. He was friendly and professional. I will definitely be using JDL HVAC services again in the future."

"This is a top shelf business. From booking to service, the experience was fantastic and I am beyond impressed. I am really impressed by most companies and rarely take the time to write a review. I scheduled duct cleaning crew to arrive first that day. Two nice gentleman showed up on time for the scheduled appointment. After doing the walk through and seeing my concerns they noted that my system was not very dirty. They offered to clean anyway but said that it was not entirely necessary. My big concern are the bathroom exhaust fans but as that was not part of the service they would only be cleaning the hvac ducts and dryer vent. They could have lied to me and told me that my vents were a mess and the service needed to be done... But they did not. It is rare these days to find a business that reputable. Combine quality and a good value- it's unheard of. HydroClean office person Sarah called to make sure I really wanted to skip the service. She was extremely nice and didn't try to push me into the cleaning. Great customer service. The two nice guys left without my husband and I spending a cent. No cancellation fees or hassles. I scheduled carpet cleaning for later that same day. When the carpet service guy called at 10:30 and said they had an opening to get my service done earlier - I was pleased. Christian and Andrew arrived as the duct cleaners were leaving. These two young men were extremely polite and professional. They got right to work and did an amazing job. They didn't cut corners or try to up-sell me. I've had other companies try to sell you additional services and clean around furniture; not these guys. Again- top notch staff. I'm summary I would recommend Hydro Clean. They have a customer for life in me.

"We are very pleased with the job Dave did for us today. He was prompt and very courteous and did a professional job cleaning our carpets. Thank you for keeping the planned schedule as promised. We will recommend your company to our family and friends.

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

A new HVAC system can increase your home's value by about 5% to 7%, which can translate to an added value of $2,500 to $3,000. The return on investment (ROI) can be around 30%, especially if you upgrade the entire system, including ductwork and insulation. Adding modern features like a smart thermostat can further increase your home’s value by making the heating and cooling systems more efficient and convenient. However, since a new unit can cost $10,000 or more to install, it's important to weigh the upfront cost against the potential increase in home value. For a specific assessment, it's best to consult a local AC installer.

Yes, it’s important to turn off your AC sometimes to give it a break and prevent it from freezing up. If your AC runs all the time, your system’s parts will wear down quicker, which may mean that you need to replace it sooner. Plus, using your AC constantly uses more electricity and leads to higher energy bills.

Yesh, heat pumps can easily cool homes when the weather reaches over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, just as powerful air conditioners can. The key is sizing the heat pump correctly for the size of your home and your climate. A local heat  pump professional can help you determine the right size and type for your home.

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.

To keep your air conditioner in good working condition, you should have it serviced by a professional at least once per year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. If your AC unit is 10 years or older, consider servicing it twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall) to catch potential problems early and help it reach its full lifespan. During a service visit, a technician will inspect, clean, and replace parts as needed. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs. As a DIY task, you can also clean the evaporator coils annually.
