The tech not only worked me into his busy Saturday schedule, also he also called twice to let me know exactly when he would arrive. He was here precisely at noon and worked quickly, and was very helpful in explaining the problem. He is a first class technician and honest as well because he could have told me that my A/C unit needed replacement and I probably would have believed him. Because he suspected that the coolant was low, he also told me on Friday evening to turn off the A/C so that the frozen tubes could thaw before he arrived the next day. If he had not done this, he wouldn't have been able to recharge the coolant during his appointment and I would have had to wait longer for the repair. Saturday and Sunday afternoons hit 90+ degrees but my A/C worked like new. I did have to pay an after-hours labor rate, but it was well worth it given the circumstances.

Although we then decided to nurture our old system as long as possible, this summer our tired air conditioner decided differently during a heat wave. Davis quickly responded and within a week we had our new system. This included dual heating/cooling zones with controls for downstairs/upstairs, redesigning the venting system to accommodate this change, and also incorporating our wood-burner furnace into the system. The attention to detail in all aspects of the installation was unexpected but much appreciated. Friends who learned Davis Comfort Systems was installing our new Trane furnace and air conditioner responded with and quot;you'll be so pleasedand quot;, and they were right.

Install went great, they worked with us to get the a/c replaced (at our request) prior to the full furnace install, but followed up immediately within the next couple days to complete the rest of the installation. Couple notes: emailed questions and received complete and timely answers....

My very old Lennox central A/C couldn?t keep up with the heat and humidity during a recent hot Friday afternoon, so by early evening I knew something was wrong. I called Northern Comfort?s answering service at 8:45 pm to ask for someone to contact me and I assumed it would be Monday before...

They were prompt and helpful, but because of the nature of our heating system, they were not able to assure us of the results, they gave us a temporary fix.

FAQs for heating and air conditioning service projects in Mankato, MN
Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.
While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.
The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.
Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
