"Great Experience. I was concerned about the 22 yr age of our air conditioner able to keep working and wonder if a long wait time to get a product shipped like refrigerators last year, I called for a quote and within a week it was installed and working! Installers worked tirelessly until their work was done, clean and neat!"

"We found SmartHouse almost by accident while looking for solutions to what turned out to be botched previous AC installation by a much bigger and more established company who we had trusted to do a decent job. Instead we ended up with a system that wouldn't cool the house. Smarthouse first correctly diagnosed the problem, then fixed it, and advised us on how best to heat and cool our 100+ old house. We now have a service contract with them for regular maintenance and they recently installed a mini-split for us. Their techs are great. Just the sort of people we would feel comfortable leaving alone in the house to finish a job if necessary."

"Project: Repair or Service a Central Air Conditioning System Sam from Liberty is GREAT! I had my AC recharged earlier this year and they charged me $170 per pound for freon!! This is the dirty little secret..You (and they) can buy it for $29 a pound on the internet....so I lost the first round with SmartHouse??? overpaid for 2 pounds plus service call plus labor.....A month later. I accidetnally cut a hole in my line in the garage.lost 5 pounbds of freon.I called all the AC companies I could find and asked them how much per pound the cheapest was $85!! some for $150!! Oh they all lie to you "the price is going up" R22 freon will be outlawed in 2020 our costs have gone up" BS! they all want to stick you for maybe an extra $600 wihtout you knowing it if you need 5 pounds. They are all con artists and liars . I checked with about 5 companies and got the cheapeast bid of $1000 ish and most around $1300! I told them I knew about the mark up on freon and they all did their little tap dance. I finally found Sam on Craigslit under services rendered...Called him he said he would give me a fixed price he knew all about the markup scam! He got the job done for $525!! Sam is a hard worker and didint show up til 7pm and had one more call that night after me! He welded my pipe vac'd the system and charged it up as good as new! While most of these AC company rackets try to get rich off of each job. Sam has a different philosophy he gives a fair deall and justs works harder than everyone else and makes it up on volume. Also he is a one man company so he has very littel overhead...One slight complaint..he hinted that he would be over by 4:15 PM but didn't make it til 7pm as he has other jobs he said were"ahead of me" I suspecet he got a job that he would lose if he didnt take it right away and could tell I would wait....Just a guess....Anyway it was worth the wait ...they say you can get Good Fast OR Cheap Pick 2. Oh and here is a warning ..If you ask for after hours service from any of the established crooked companies get ready to pay $249 a pound for freon!!!! Less"

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

No. Evaporator coils are designed to work with specific refrigerant types, and they are rated by what kinds of refrigerant they use. It’s indicated with an “R” code. It’s important to match your evaporator coil and refrigerant or your system will not work properly. An AC technician can tell you what type of refrigerant your system needs and what evaporator coils will work with it.

Yes, mini-split or ductless AC systems add value to a home and do not devalue it. They are an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in older homes without existing ductwork, as they provide a practical air conditioning solution without the significant expense and hassle of installing traditional ducts. Ductless systems also eliminate issues associated with conventional ductwork, such as noise and the potential for pests. Furthermore, homeowners value energy-efficient solutions, and mini-splits offer high efficiency for both heating and cooling, plus zoned temperature control. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced electric bills, which is a major selling point.

On average, replacing an AC compressor costs between $800 and $2,300, but it could cost as much as $2,800. There are a few factors that impact the price of a compressor replacement, including the type and size of the compressor, as well as the type of HVAC system and local labor rates.

A frosty expansion valve that isn't blowing out cool air is a sure sign that it’s time to replace it. It might also be time to replace the TXV valve if your AC unit switches off soon after turning on or if you have poor airflow in your home.

You should get anywhere from three to five quotes for HVAC replacement to get an idea of the average cost of a new unit. Although this quote-collecting process can be time consuming, it allows you to compare what work is required, what type of unit you should install, and how much you should expect to pay for the service.
