"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
They can, but it’s not as common. Window AC units are much smaller than whole-house systems and less likely to develop refrigerant leaks or similar issues. As a result, you will rarely need to add a new refrigerant, limiting overcharging problems. However, it’s still important to leave refrigerant management in the hands of professionals when window units need work.
Yes, a frozen AC unit can affect your indoor air quality since the reduced airflow won't be as effective at removing air pollutants, like dust and other allergens. Additionally, ice around the unit can create excess moisture, leading to mold and mildew that can damage your home if you don’t catch it early.
Replacing both an AC and a furnace takes a full day on average, ranging from eight to 12 hours. The process involves removing the old units, installing the new ones, and ensuring all connections are properly made. If both systems are being replaced simultaneously, it can take longer than installing a furnace alone, so plan accordingly.
Assessing location for airflow, convenience, and minimal noise impact.
An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:
Furnaces: 15 to 30 years
Boilers: 20 to 35 years
Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years
Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years
Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years
