"Jim and his assistant showed up on time as usual, went to work and got the job done thoroughly with no issues. He explained where I had questions and made sure that I understood. This was the first cleaning of this home in 35 years and I'm confident the job is done right. I've used his services in my rental property and in this case insisted that my builder use him only. No problem there, those people already use Duct Works as their standard vendor! These guys are really good and I'd never use anyone else! "
"I am a new customer with Service Professor, Inc. as of May 2021. In each of three service calls for routine system checks of my HVAC, plumbing, and furnace systems, I couldn't have been more satisfied with the professionalism of the individual tradesmen or with the customer service communication provided by friendly and patient office staff. This review is being posted especially to praise the exceptional routine service call provided by John Courtney on 10/11/2021. John presented as being a good listener and one who genuinely enjoyed his work and serving others. For example, he listened carefully to my questions and responded with detailed information that I could understand easily. And, after I commented to John about my previous positive interactions with Service Professor, Inc. tradesmen and with customer service staff, John responded by stating he has worked in the heating and cooling trade for 12 years and felt very fortunate, as a newer employee, to be able to work for an organization such as Service Professor that places caring and quality customer service communication among its most important priorities. I hope my comments encourage anyone seeking HVAC, plumbing, or furnace routine service or repair work to not hesitate to contact Service Professor."
"Best decision we made was getting our air ducts cleaned by Air Care of West Michigan. John was amazing from the start. Very thorough and a hard worker. Would definitely recommend!"
"Our entire experience with them was first class, they were on time, worked efficiently and were very polite and cleaned up everything when finished. I would highly recommend them. We also had them install an air conditioner and a hot water heater with the same results. The products they recommended and installed actually lowered our utility bills. We were so pleased and would definitely have them come back if we need any heating or cooling work in the future."
"Mrpicky was efficient and thorough with their cleaning in our home. Very professional and easy to work with, especially with their service techs. Will definitely use them again!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
Whether an HVAC damper should be open or closed depends on the season, the zone it controls, and the temperature in that zone. In the summer, open upstairs dampers and close lower-level dampers to get the most efficient cooling possible. In the winter, do the opposite. Cool air will naturally flow down to lower levels, while warm air will rise. This keeps your system from working harder and helps prevent common AC problems.
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.
During the summer, it’s best to set your AC to 78 degrees when you’re home and awake, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). For better energy efficiency, raise the temperature slightly to 85 degrees while you’re out of the house. The National Sleep Foundation advises lowering your thermostat to between 60 and 67 degrees when you’re asleep.
You can adjust uneven airflow in your home by adjusting the dampers on the vents. However, if the temperature feels consistent throughout the home, don’t worry too much about uneven airflow. Generally speaking, larger rooms should receive more airflow than smaller rooms, especially if they only have one vent.
A central air system is great for someone looking to cool and heat their home all year round. Even if your home uses baseboard heating, you can still make the switch. Read on to learn more about adding central air to a baseboard-heated house.
