"Difficult problem. Open hot in romex somewhere in the ceiling. They came up with a workaround that was acceptable to me. And the price was okay for two guys spending the morning on the job."

"I hired Shawn to add a 220v outlet and some additional 110v outlets in my garage. He was always very quick to respond when I had questions. He finished the job extremely quickly and did an amazing job! I cannot recommend him enough. I’m very pleased with his work and would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

"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 ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. Keep the unit clean for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a window AC specialist near you to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.

There are many signs of a bad AC fan motor, including if the fan blades don’t spin when the AC kicks on or if they keep spinning when the AC is off. The AC fan cools down the condenser coil, so a faulty motor can also cause the system to overheat. Unusual noises in the exterior AC unit, including grinding or rattling sounds, may also be a sign that the AC fan motor is worn out.

During the summer, it’s best to set your AC to 78 degrees when you’re home and awake, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). For better energy efficiency, raise the temperature slightly to 85 degrees while you’re out of the house. The National Sleep Foundation advises lowering your thermostat to between 60 and 67 degrees when you’re asleep.

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.

The average life span of an HVAC system is 15 to 20 years. Even if your old air conditioner is still functional, it isn't as energy-efficient as a newer system (especially one with an Energy Star designation). Older HVAC systems aren't as efficient, and the 10-year mark is when you should start making full system replacement plans. Twenty years in, that plan should be well underway rather than waiting for the unit to die.
