"Kind and friendly service, he cleaned both the dryer vent and hvac system. My clothes drys so much faster and my "clean lint trap" light on my dryer finally went off. I would highly recommend"
"We had Cameron handle two mini split installations: one at our home and another at our shop. The shop project was quite complex, and Cameron did an outstanding job. It took two visits to complete, but everything was done to our full satisfaction. Cameron is not only professional and hardworking but also friendly and prompt, making the entire experience pleasant and stress-free. We highly recommend his services!"
"Work has not been started yet but they notified us and we had them come right out within a week and by the end of the next week they sent the bid. We will accept that and set up a time to come do the job.."
"Shawn and his crew were super knowledgeable and even helped out with other electrical projects that I was working on, making sure I was doing them the correct way. Black Diamond will be my first call for my next electrical projects."
"I had an issue with my furnace, so I requested help through Angi. Miki called me within 10 min and offered to come straight out to my house to diagnose the problem. After stopping at the store to pickup a new furnace filter for me, he showed up and got to work. I was very impressed with how fast he addressed the problem and fixed it. He then went on and showed me the type of filters to buy and what to stay away from. My furnace is very old and as a result will need to be replaced sometime in the next couple years. So when I change the filter he showed me what to look for so I know when the furnace needs to be replaced. I really liked this guy he came out right away, fixed furnace, offered me free professional advice and charged me next to nothing. He is very honest and reliable. I would and will highly recommend to anyone who seeks a heating/AC professional to work on their project!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
There are a few things you can do to make your AC repair technician’s job easier and your home more comfortable while you wait for AC repair:
Cut back trees, shrubs, and weeds around the outdoor compressor
Clear a pathway inside and outside to your AC components
Set up a ladder for attic access if necessary
Pull your window AC out of the window and place in an easily accessible spot
Supplement with fans and open windows to help keep your house comfortable
A power outage can damage your air conditioner, just like a power surge can damage any electrical device or appliance. In most cases, your circuit breaker or built-in surge protection on your AC unit protects your AC and just needs a reset. But in other cases, it might be that your AC compressor or capacitor was blown during the power surge. You’ll need to have an HVAC professional repair or replace any AC parts.
When deciding whether to repair or replace your air conditioner, several factors should be considered. It is generally worth repairing the unit if it's less than 10 years old, the warranty is still active, and you're dealing with a one-off issue. Most central AC units last about 15 years, while window units last 8 to 10 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed the 10-year mark and requires frequent or costly repairs (e.g., over $5,000), replacement is often the more sensible long-term investment. For older, inefficient, or out-of-warranty units experiencing multiple problems, replacing it is typically the better choice.
Here’s the cost formula to find out how much it’ll cost you to run a window air conditioner in your home: Watts * (hours used) / 1,000 * (Local kWh) = daily cost of running a window unit.If you need help calculating the cost of running your window AC unit, consult an AC repair or installation pro for an accurate estimate.
On average, an AC unit lasts between 10 and 20 years. However, the specific lifespan depends on the type of unit, how often it's used, the local climate, and the quality of maintenance. Central AC units typically last 12 to 17 years, while window units have a shorter lifespan of 8 to 10 years. Portable AC units last about 5 to 10 years, and ductless mini-split systems can last up to 20 years. To extend the life of your AC unit, it's important to perform regular maintenance, such as replacing filters, cleaning coils, and scheduling annual professional tune-ups.
