"I contacted Sean to repair my aging HVAC system. Although I have very little knowledge of HVAC, Sean was able to identify, explain, and plan the maintenance of my current system in language I understood and that seemed reasonable. Sean was very responsive via text during our scheduling and I'm happy with the expert level of detail he showed during inspection. I would highly recommend working with him or his team. Update: Sean came back out to resolve my filtration issues and also fixed some other problems that he noticed in the process without increasing the negotiated price. Again, Iâ m extremely satisfied with the work heâ s done and would recommend him for your HVAC needs."

"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."

"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."

"Forage Mechanical did a great job replacing our broken AC unit. Henry diagnosed the problem quickly (broken compressor) and offered some options that would fix the unit and retain warranty protection. He exhibited experience and competence. There were no special costs or fees, and he gave excellent focus to the job, completing ahead of schedule. I definitely recommend this company for your HVAC needs."

"The job went reasonably well. They completed it in a day and a half. The guys on site had a little trouble installing the high tech thermostat for the system, but their supervisor demonstrated real accountability when he showed up on a Saturday to make it right."

"If you want honest, straight-forward, complete, and competitive pricing for a new HVAC system, go to Bluestar Air Mechanical. Our 21-year old systems needed replacement and we began our quotation/search process. Amongst the 7 companies we inquired with, Bluestar had the most comprehensive explanation, set of offerings, and was patient with us as we completed our comparisons. John promptly and completely answered all of my questions ranging from installation, future usage, efficiency, and advice on what was necessary vs an accessory. Lynn at the office was prompt and courteous on all of my scheduling, dispatch, and payment inquiries. You'll get top notch quality, service, and friendliness if you work with Bluestar for your HVAC replacement needs."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Aside from needing HVAC repair, there are times when you may need to replace your unit. HVAC replacement costs $5,000 to $12,500. Here are some telltale signs that your HVAC unit is going bad:

  • Your unit is 10 years or older.

  • Your home is very humid.

  • The unit keeps cycling without producing cool air.

  • You need to repair the unit frequently.

The cost to replace an AC unit averages around $5,900, with a typical range between $3,900 and $8,020. The final price depends on several factors, including the type and size of the air conditioner, its efficiency rating, your geographic region, and labor costs for installation. Smaller units like portable and window ACs are much less expensive, costing between $90 and $550, compared to central or ductless systems. If your current unit is less than 10 years old, repairing it may be more cost-effective than a full replacement.

The best way to compare HVAC quotes is getting a few detailed quotes from local companies with good reputations. Then, go over the quotes line by line. Protect yourself by insisting on in-person estimates that include equipment manufacturer names, model numbers, SEER ratings, amounts and numbers of materials, details of warranties on equipment and labor, and other specifics. 

Knowing the exact equipment and materials is the only way that you can fairly compare quotes. Quotes that are much lower than others can be a sign that the company isn’t providing the best quality service or materials.

No, a furnace is not the same thing as an AC, or air conditioner, but these are both parts of an HVAC system. They both use air ducts to transport cool or hot air around your home to achieve a comfortable temperature set by your thermostat. An AC runs on electricity, while a furnace can use different fuel sources.

No, it isn’t necessarily bad to turn your AC on and off frequently—contrary to popular belief. Even if you stop and start your AC throughout the day, it won’t use as much energy as it would if you ran it nonstop. 

If you’re concerned about your power consumption and energy costs, there are a few simple ways to use your AC more efficiently. Regularly cleaning the filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using a programmable thermostat are all great choices.
