"Amitai from The Better Home Pros came today to inspect my hvac air duct system, I was having really bad allergies and sneezing and watery eyes for the past couple of months and I just could figure out what was causing it. During the inspection there was mold found throughout all of my air ducts in the house, Amitai showed me videos from the inspection report and than sent everything to the office to give me a quote, the quote was very reason in comparison to research I did but most importantly the quality of work that was done was AMAZING!!! I can already feel the difference in the air quality in my house it feels much lighter and smells better, I am so glad I called this company it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend anyone to use them for any hvac needs you might have and especially recommend Amitai the technician he is very polite and I felt really comfortable with him in my house and I just felt like he was really honest with me which means a lot these days. Thank you so m"

"Great! They showed up on time and were able to complete the installation of two ceiling fans. In one case the fan was swapped out for another; in another case we wanted the fan installed (there was already a ceiling outlet and blocking for it. Everything has worked well for more than a year. Since this work, I have since hired Sal and his team for other work. He'll talk to you first about what you want to have done before he even makes an appointment and if he thinks he's not the right fit for what you want done, he is upfront about that and has a suggestion for someone else you can call. For example we've recently decided to redo our shower enclosure and given that we only wanted to replace the glass, he suggested we remove him as the middle man and put me in touch with the glass folks he would have used if he handled the job. The price was reasonable for the work performed."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, you should have your HVAC system professionally serviced at least once a year, though it's best to follow the manufacturer's specific recommendations. Many experts suggest twice-yearly maintenance: once in the spring for the cooling system and once in the fall for the heating system. This is especially recommended for older units, systems with recurring issues, or heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling. Regular service, which can cost between $100 and $550, keeps the system running efficiently, helps prevent costly future repairs, and saves money on utility bills.

It’s never a good idea to run your AC without a filter, even just for a night. The filter defends your HVAC system from the dust, dirt, debris, and other grime in your home. Without a filter, those contaminants are more likely to get inside your system and potentially damage it. 

Here’s how AC professionals will clean your AC coils:

  1. Unplug the AC unit or turn off the breaker to the unit in your circuit breaker box.

  2. Remove the faceplate.

  3. Spray a vacuum hose attachment or compressed air can to remove debris, dust, dirt, and grime.

  4. Use a soft-bristled fin comb to remove stubborn caked-on debris.

  5. Use the vacuum hose to suck up any extra debris.

  6. Take a coil-safe cleaning solution and spray it onto the coils. Try to choose a no-rinse solution.

  7. Let the solution sit for at least 15 minutes.

  8. Gently wipe away loosened grime and debris with a microfiber cloth.

  9. Reattach the faceplate, plug in your AC system, or turn the breaker back on.

The higher the BTU rating an air conditioner has, the more effective it can be at cooling your space. It will cool off your room faster in the short term. However, over the long term, if the unit has too many BTUs for the space, it can wear down the unit faster and shorten its life span.

Traditional central air conditioning systems require ductwork to circulate air throughout the home. Alternatively, you can add air conditioning with a mini-split ductless air conditioning system, which can be just as energy efficient as a central air conditioner. This type of system consists of two units–an outside unit that holds the compressor and condenser and an indoor unit that holds an air-handler. With multi-zone ductless systems, there are multiple indoor air handlers tied to a single outdoor compressor/condenser, allowing the system to cool multiple rooms.
