"Bill was very professional and did an awesome job cleaning the ducts, dryer vent, etc. I immediately noticed the air in the house is fresh. My daughter even noticed it when she came in. Great job. I recommended him to my daughter and will to whomever needs this done."
"We just bought our home and had some work done. We knew from the previous owner's pets and the dust and debris from the work being done that the vents really needed a good cleaning. Doctor Ducts came out and did a wonderful job cleaning them out (they were REALLY bad). Super awesome all around, especially the customer service. Would definitely recommend."
"I seldom provide a 5-star rating. I expect exceptional service for a 5-star. I was leaving town for 2 weeks so needed quick estimates for an AC replacement . The first estimate cost me $100 for a service call and was ludicrous. Two others could only give ball park ranges in my time framed. T&S came out after hours the day I called that spent the time finding out what I wanted, and taking measurements and information for a quote. The next morning, I got the estimate in the bottom half of the ranges from the other 2. The supplier had a unit available so T&S said they could get it installed before I was leaving. T&S works with a lender for financing and got me started. The supplier sold the unit and it would be 2 days before T&S could get another. I would be gone, T&S worked around my son’s schedule to install when my son could be home. T&S also gave me a discount off original price for my inconvenience. I was particular about some items and T&S said they would install as told."
"My first time getting vents cleaned in a nearly 50-year-old house. Working with Irish Mist (love the name!) was easy, pleasant, affordable, and quick. Arrived on time, got to work, cleaned the ducts - which had more than just dust in them, as some things rattled through the hose on the way out. Very satisfied customer. One thing I forgot to ask is before & after photos... might have been good to get, I wish they had done that."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
The right type of HVAC system will depend on several factors, including your climate, budget, preferences, and existing HVAC setup. For example, if you live in an area that experiences extreme weather, then a split system would likely be the best option. Or, if budget is a concern, consider installing a ductless system in just one room.
AC capacitors have a wide lifespan, ranging from five to 20 years, with an average of about 10 years. Many capacitors will last for the entire life of the air conditioning unit, and most homeowners only need to replace one once. A capacitor should only be replaced if an HVAC professional diagnoses a problem with it. Premature failure can be caused by overheating, power surges, or short circuits. You can help extend the life of your AC capacitor by scheduling regular AC maintenance each year.
If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances.
Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.
On a summer day, expect your AC to run between 12 and 16 hours. However, this time frame depends on just how hot it is outside and the comfortable temperature you’re hoping to maintain indoors. Assuming the size of your AC is appropriate for the space you’re trying to cool, it shouldn’t be a problem for it to work this many hours.
An AC inspection costs anywhere from $75 to $200, while a full HVAC system inspection that includes your furnace ranges from $200 to $450. While there's a cost to a home AC inspection, it can save you hundreds or thousands in the long run by catching problems, avoiding breaks, and saving you money on your utility bills.
