"James and his team did an excellent job installing a mini split HVAC system for me. They were responsive, conscientious, knowledgeable, neat/tidy and reasonably priced. 10/10 would recommend/use again. Thanks James!"
"Bill and Dylan did an incredible job with our air ducts! We will definitely be using them again and will highly recommend them to others. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!!"
"Has helped my family with multiple projects through the past couple years. We replaced our furnace, AC, hot water heater, and even installed a whole house humidifier plus air purifier! We love our home and just wanted it to work for us. Midpoint made our wishes come true with reliable service and great care. They are the best!"
"We turned our A/C on for the first time this year and it didn’t work. I called a local company and I was charged 192.00 to get it fixed, so I thought. It wasn’t , after two weeks it stopped working. I found Edwards Mechanical on Angie’s list and requested an estimate. I received a call within a couple hours and set up an appointment. Zack came out and really knew what he was doing. He found the leaks and repaired them and cleaned the unit. The other company technician said he couldn’t find a leak. Now I can relax and not worry about my A/C not working as it is fixed correctly. And the work backed up by Edwards guarantee. I will definitely hire Edwards again."

Yes, ventless portable air conditioners exist, and not all standard portable air conditioners must be vented through a window.
Ventless portable units, often called evaporative coolers, do not have exhaust hoses. They use a water reservoir and a cooling pad to add moisture to the air, making it feel cooler. These units work best in dry climates because humid areas cannot absorb much additional moisture.
For standard portable air conditioners that do require venting, a window is not the only option; they can also be vented through a door, wall, or ceiling. However, it is essential to vent these units properly. Running a standard portable AC without venting it is counterproductive because it needs to expel heat to cool the room. Failing to do so will only increase the room's temperature.
Florida rooms can have heat or air conditioning, although not all do. These rooms can be added to the existing HVAC system or use a mini-split system, or they may just use a ceiling fan or the breeze from the windows for cooling. Florida rooms with air conditioning often have glass windows to keep the cool inside instead of just mesh screens.
An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:
Furnaces: 15 to 30 years
Boilers: 20 to 35 years
Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years
Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years
Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years
Because of the improved efficiency, ACs with higher SEER ratings tend to cool down your home better than models with a lower SEER. Higher-SEER AC units have a higher cooling capacity and a lower energy demand, meaning they may help cool your space faster without running up the electricity bill.
Though it may seem redundant, you can absolutely have a central AC unit and a window AC in your home. In fact, if you place a window AC unit near your central air, it can help move the cooler air throughout your home. But doubling up on your AC methods can get pricey, so factor in cost accordingly.
