"Marcus is great. He's serviced my house several times for both AC and furnace maintenance. He's very knowledgeable and thorough. Takes time to explain things and answer questions. Also offers suggestions, but doesn't pressure you. He's very efficient. Appears to be an honest HVAC tech and good guy."
"I took bids from 3 HVAC contractors, all of which were highly rated on Angie's List and one of which I had used previously. I chose Fresh Air because their price was competitive and their sales rep was very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. I worked as a professional engineer in the HVAC industry prior to retirement, and Kevin knew the answers to my questions or quickly got the answers. The team of installers did an excellent job and completed the project in one day. Subsequent to my home project, the same team did a similar, competitively-bid replacement furnace and AC project at my church, with equally satisfying results."
"Liberty did a fantastic job identifying and rectifying airflow problems with our existing Hvac system that was installed less than two years ago by another company. They were punctual, responsive and incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend them."

"Had new hvac, furnace, and hwh installed. Furnace had a couple of air leaks between a coil and furnace which I fixed myself. Hvac was spot on. Hwh failed first inspection, but was corrected in same day. For the premium price paid, these issues should not happen. Quality 4.5 because of these issues, same goes for value. Customer service is very good. They are very professional, work looks very good, clean worksite afterwards. I would recommend, but don't think about negotiating price with them. Their labor is very high."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
It’s critical to use the right size AC for your space and not go too small or too big. If you purchase an undersized unit, it won’t properly cool your house, and it has to work harder to reach the optimal temperature. This will eventually wear your unit out. An oversized unit can spell trouble because it will turn off and on more frequently, which also wears out your AC unit. An oversized unit also causes humidity in the home.
You need to know the square footage of your home first. Multiply that number by 20, which will get you the BTUs (British Thermal Units) needed to cool your home efficiently. Homes up to 1,000 square feet usually need a 1.5-ton unit; homes 1,000 to 1,200 square feet usually need a 1.75-ton unit, and homes 1,200 to 1,400 square feet usually need a 1.9-ton unit. Talk to a local pro for more specific advice on your home.
A blocked return air vent can cause your HVAC system to work much harder and, therefore, less efficiently. The result is higher utility bills and poorer air quality. A blocked return air vent can also cause unpleasant dust, dander, and odors to linger in your home’s air.
The cost to repair an air conditioner averages around $350 to $450, but the price can range from $100 to over $3,000. The final cost depends on the type of air conditioner, the extent of the damage, and the specific parts that need replacement. For example, repairing a window AC unit typically costs between $100 and $250, while central air conditioner repairs can range from $300 to $3,000. A simple fix like replacing a dirty filter might only cost $10 to $50, but a major issue like a broken compressor could cost around $2,000 or more, potentially making it more cost-effective to replace the entire system. Due to the need for specialty tools and handling of refrigerants, repairs more complex than changing a filter are best left to a professional.
Here’s how AC professionals will clean your AC coils:
Unplug the AC unit or turn off the breaker to the unit in your circuit breaker box.
Remove the faceplate.
Spray a vacuum hose attachment or compressed air can to remove debris, dust, dirt, and grime.
Use a soft-bristled fin comb to remove stubborn caked-on debris.
Use the vacuum hose to suck up any extra debris.
Take a coil-safe cleaning solution and spray it onto the coils. Try to choose a no-rinse solution.
Let the solution sit for at least 15 minutes.
Gently wipe away loosened grime and debris with a microfiber cloth.
Reattach the faceplate, plug in your AC system, or turn the breaker back on.
