"It went better than I could have imagined. All the other calls I made required a repair technician appointment and a separate salesperson appointment. Vitaliy the HVAC Doctor was extremely knowledgeable -- able to repair our old A/C enough to get us through until the new A/C was installed AND get us set up with a new one. We got a great new 2-stage A/C at a terrific price. Vitaliy really knows HVAC, and did a super job. Also, he has an incredible work ethic. He fit us in on short notice on a Saturday, and took his time answering all our questions. Once we were satisfied with the solution, he fixed everything by headlamp in the dark. He made sure we never felt pressured or rushed. We absolutely have a new favorite HVAC company."

"Hoffman Cooling and Heating did a fantastic job installing my new HVAC unit. Not only were they able to come in less than two days after I hired them, they were on time, did the job quickly and perfectly cleaned up after themselves. They were friendly, competent and I highly recommend them!"

"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"

"Requested a quote and Justin texted quickly, asking to see a pic inside one of our returns. Stated that the ducts looked clean and advised how to check the furnace to see if it's been done before. Lo and behold, found a sticker on the furnace indicating a duct cleaning had been completed recently by the previous owners. He also recommended a low cost solution to sanitize the HVAC system that we could do ourselves. We are super impressed and plan to hire this company when the time comes for a cleaning! A business with integrity - how novel! :)"

"After reading all of the horror stories people tell about HVAC companies, I feel a little out of place writing a raving positive review about the company I do business with. From the call to schedule a service to the salesperson helping us decide which stove best fits our needs to the technicians who install or service our equipment, every contact with Comfort by Design is like living in a commercial where everything goes right. The company always lives by its quotes, the technicians always go beyond the expected, and for the first time in my life I am not tempted to do the work myself to avoid the hassle and disappointment when the work isn't done well, quickly, or for the price I expected. If they keep this up, I won't know how to do anything for myself in a couple of years."

"Would 100% recommend this company to anyone that has HVAC needs. From start to finish everyone that I interacted with was helpful, knowledge, and kind! Spending a lot of money on a new furnace, air conditioner, and water heater is never fun, but Aquarius made it so easy. They listened to what I was looking for and make recommendations that would serve my needs (and not just the most expensive option). They were very accommodating with my schedule and were able to install everything while I was out of the State. Everyone made it easy for me to trust getting everything installed when I was not around."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Your heating and cooling systems cost you the most on your electric bill and make up 50% of your bill on average. Your washing machine, dryer, oven, and stove contribute significantly to your electric bill as well. Lights, fans, and smaller electronics add up, but aren’t the biggest energy consumers. You can reduce your power usage by setting optimal temperatures on your thermostat and investing in energy-efficient appliances.

While an air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, it is not recommended as it will not work efficiently. A dirty filter forces the system to work harder to circulate cool air, leading to reduced airflow, increased wear and tear, and higher energy bills. This added strain can cause the air conditioner to overheat or fail prematurely. Furthermore, a clogged filter may allow dust and dirt to accumulate in your ductwork, negatively impacting air quality. It is more cost-effective to clean or replace filters regularly than to pay higher utility bills and risk needing to replace the entire AC unit.

HVAC pros recommend that you replace your AC filter every one to three months to maintain optimal indoor air quality and ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently. However, factors such as filter type, household size, and environmental conditions may influence the frequency of replacement. Regular filter changes help prevent debris buildup, maintain airflow, and prolong the life span of your air conditioning unit.

High humidity, bad insulation, warmth from sunlight, and poor circulation are all reasons your home’s hotter inside than out. While this is what you want in the colder months, summer can become unbearable if this is a constant. Try to find the cause, but you need to remember that issues like this require a permanent fix (unless you want to bear down during the summer months).

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
