"We've used Standard Heating & Air Conditioning Inc for years and have always appreciated their prompt, courteous and professional service. Recently they installed a new furnace and AC. Jude and Alan were the installers - a day-long job. They were so courteous, professional and were always willing to thoroughly answer any of our questions. They also have a great sense of humor, making the process fun as we periodically "checked' to see how things were going. We definitely highly recommend this company!"

"I had my 27-year-old furnace and a/c replaced by them. The entire process was effortless. Joe and John were great to deal with. The 2 techs that came out were very friendly and efficient. They had the whole project done in less than a day. The clean-up and explanation of the new system met and exceeded my expectations. The new furnace works great and is much quieter than the old one. We only had a chance to run the air for one day, and it also worked very well. I would highly recommend Air Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning for furnace and a/c replacement"

"Could not recommend more. Prices were very reasonable for install of an AC unit, and we had gotten multiple quotes before deciding on HVAC Doctor. Everything was done incredibly fast from the free quote to the install. The owner was very straightforward and honest which we appreciated more than anything. We will be using them for our hvac needs going forward and will be recommending them to others."

"Speed, accuracy, vast knowledge of air conditioners that give most value in MN vs southern US. 18 year old AC died on a Sunday, replaced in 4 hours next day. Unbelievably fast response for full AC replacement in mid-summer."

"It's 8 PM, 80 degrees outside with the same for humidity, and I noticed that the temperature in the house is getting warm. After doing some troubleshooting, I found out the compressor for the A/C had shut off. I called Comfort By Design's emergency number and within minutes the technician that was on call, called me back. He explained that since the outside temperature was dropping to the 60's that evening, that maybe we should wait until morning to perform a repair, IF a suggestion he made did not pan out. So come morning, the compressor was still not working, I called their office at 7:15 and scheduled a technician to come out. Being that it was starting to get very warm and the calls were coming in, I figured that it would be late in the afternoon. To my pleasant surprise, they were at the house by 8:30, and 15 minutes later they had it fixed (it was a relay that needed to be reset). I was very pleased with the response and the quickness in which the problem was solved. I will continue to use them for my heating and air conditioning needs."

"I hired this company for air duct cleaning and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From scheduling to completion, everything was professional and straightforward. The technicians arrived on time, explained the entire process, and used powerful equipment to thoroughly clean our vents and HVAC system. We immediately noticed improved air quality and less dust in the house. They were respectful of our home, protected the work areas, and cleaned up completely before leaving. What really stood out to me was their professionalism and honesty. They did NOT nickel and dime me, their pricing was extremely competitive, and they didn’t try to push a bunch of additional services I didn’t need. They simply explained what they offered, answered my questions, and gave me exactly what I needed. I truly appreciated that approach. If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality duct cleaning with fair pricing and no pressure, I would absolutely recommend them. Great service and great results!"

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

There are a few ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. Keep the unit clean for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a window AC specialist near you to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.

The best way to reduce heat upstairs is to release it by opening a window. Hot air rises, and if you can create some airflow by opening a window upstairs and also one on a lower level, the hot air should be pushed out of the home. Remember that fans pointing out the window do a much better job of circulating air than fans pointing into the home.

Signs that your air conditioner capacitor is bad or failing include a range of symptoms. The AC unit may not turn on at all, or it might struggle to start before shutting down randomly or in the middle of a cooling cycle. You might hear a humming or banging noise when it attempts to start, or the compressor might hum without the unit actually running. Other indicators include a smell or smoke coming from the unit, the blower circulating room-temperature air instead of cold air, and an unexpected increase in your energy bills.

Not if you have a standard unit. Because portable AC units actually work to dehumidify the room, you’ll likely need to drain the unit from time to time—but you won’t have to put water into it. There is, however, another type of air conditioner called a swamp cooler that requires water to operate. If you have a swamp cooler, you may need to fill a reservoir with water and potentially ice. But a swamp cooler is different from a standard portable AC unit.

No, not all HVAC systems have a fresh air intake, but there are many advantages to having one. For example, a fresh air intake can boost the air quality inside your home and help your furnace run more effectively. Plus, it can make your house more energy efficient, possibly saving you money on your utility costs.
