"All About Heat & Air just installed two new heat pumps, replacing our old ones. The installers were very professional and did a great job. We also got much better systems at a similar price compared to other estimates. The Co inspector was just here and both systems passed. He commented on the high quality of the install and said that All About Heat & Air does some of the best work around. He also noted that Bosch units seem to be far superior compared to other top brands. He wished he had Bosch in his home. Thanks again for a job well done."

"Purchase and installation of heat pump went very well. David came the very next morning after my call for help. He gave me the estimate on the best pump suitable for my needs plus all the equipment and labor to complete the job. The day of installation everyone arrived early. Each person had their specific part and each went right to work. The whole system was completed the same day. Everything was cleaned up and the old unit hauled away. Nick came to do the inspection after a week to see if all was running well. All were so friendly and professional. They did a great job. I have had a maintenance contract with Quality Air for several years and all the guys who come to my home have been friendly and professional."

"We previously used another company for tuneups. When I called to ask them to send someone out because the air upstairs was cool, (on the warm side) but not cold, the receptionist said that's because it's a heat pump. I tried to explain to her that it had previously been cold but again she said it would just feel cool. I wasn't going to argue, their loss. I called Comfort Central after looking at the reviews on Angie's list. Kevin and his son came out and all I can say is, unbelievable service! We had the upstairs and downstairs units serviced. They were here approx 2.5 hours for the tuneup! They really took their time. Other company in and out in 15 minutes for the tuneups. Also, the unit upstairs has also never heated in the winter. The other company told us the upstairs unit was too small and it needed to be replaced. Kevin, the owner of Comfort Central said it was the right size. A LARGE loss of freon was the culprit for the cool air. Kevin said that sooner or later the upstairs outdoor unit would need replaced due to the amount of freon lost. Also, the capacitor needed replaced. There was no pressure, gave the option to refill with freon or look at a new unit. Told them they would have a decision the next day. Decided to put in freon for the time being and replace the capacitor at this time. The nicest tech came out, tested the unit again just to make sure and we were up and running in an hour or so. The upstairs is now colder than EVER before and the unit doesn't run constantly. This is an A+++ Company! Owner, technicians and office staff!!
** As a side note for women - Although my husband was here, they also talked to me. I didn't feel talked down to, or ignored/annoyed when I had questions. I also feel very comfortable that they would have given me the same price as a single woman, as they gave my husband. I know this is important as sometimes we don't know much about fixing mechanical items and we do get charged a higher price than men. Very courteous and trustworthy gentlemen!

"Four years ago I used a competitor air conditioning company to install an $10,000 unit - The kind with all the bells and whistles. The unit never worked correctly and I have about 15 to 20 repair tickets over the last 4 1/2 years. I had multiple companies try to fix the problem, but to no avail. Finally I called Frank at Sheer Comfort. They came out quickly and Frank was astonished at all the problems I have had with the unit. He asked if I could wait a day or two for results and I agreed. He acted on my behalf with the manufacture of the air conditioning unit was able to get me a brand-new unit (inside and out) for free. I heard him on the phone speaking with the manufacturer? He was actually arguing on my behalf! After a couple days he called me back with the good news. The next afternoon, his crew was here installing my brand-new unit. All I had to do was pay for the labor. Sheer Comfort's workers were prompt and courteous. The job was completed as scheduled and I am one happy customer!

"Alex's "can do" attitude made the difference. They far exceeded my expectations. Now, my clothes dryer exhaust is no longer stopped-up and the air vented from two bathrooms is now vented outside (instead of into the attic)."

"Wade and Jacob were very professional and courteous. They were on time and explained everything they were doing and took before and after pictures of my entire duct work and air handler. Wade was also very kind and provided the dryer vent cleaning at no extra charge. Wade and Jacob accommodated us by maintaining the use of face masks and foot coverings not only respecting our home but also our health and safety at this time of Covid. We greatly appreciated his companyâ  s services and would highly recommend them."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Signs of a damaged evaporator coil include warm air from vents, frequent starts and stops without proper cooling, failure to turn on, refrigerant leaks, and unusual noises. If you suspect issues with your AC system or its components, it’s best to call an AC repair technician for proper diagnosis and repairs.

It’s not customary to tip HVAC technicians, and most professionals won’t expect it. However, it’s a nice way of showing your appreciation for the work they do, especially if they come out in inclement weather or on a weekend or holiday to fix an emergency issue if your heat or AC goes out in extreme temperatures. A good tip would be between 10% to 20% of the total bill, depending on how above and beyond the tech goes for your repair and on the total cost of your HVAC repair or service. For something like a routine tune-up or scheduled maintenance, tips aren’t expected.

The simplest indicator is how long it’s been since your last tune-up. You should schedule an annual AC tune-up each spring. Beyond that, there are multiple signs that your AC needs a quick check by a professional. These issues include higher-than-average energy bills, decreased air flow from vents, higher indoor temperatures, and an air conditioning unit that stays on all the time or frequently turns on and off.

The cost to replace an AC unit averages around $5,900, with a typical range between $3,900 and $8,020. The final price depends on several factors, including the type and size of the air conditioner, its efficiency rating, your geographic region, and labor costs for installation. Smaller units like portable and window ACs are much less expensive, costing between $90 and $550, compared to central or ductless systems. If your current unit is less than 10 years old, repairing it may be more cost-effective than a full replacement.

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers are actually quite similar, though they perform different jobs. Dehumidifiers reduce moisture in the air, while air conditioners work to cool the home. A good central AC unit will naturally perform a certain level of dehumidification due to its design, but it will not be able to handle excessive levels of moisture.
