"From the moment we inquired about services to job completion, we had a great experience working with Air Quality Concepts for our HVAC air duct and dryer vent cleaning. The owner Charles was incredibly prompt with communication and took the time to answer all our questions about the cleaning process prior to scheduling. We were so impressed by how personable, hard-working, thorough, and efficient our technicians Austin and Michael were when they cleaned our two HVAC systems. They were very attentive to the issues we have been having with our indoor air quality as we navigate mold remediation and health concerns. The company’s customer care was genuine and so appreciated, and the cost of services was very reasonable. We already feel more comfortable in our home knowing we are breathing cleaner air! I highly recommend Air Quality Concepts if you are looking to improve the air quality of your home!"

"Air ecperts technician Mark provided a thorough and honest assessment of 1) the condition of my hvac system and 2) determined the source of a separate issue related to a running toilet. Most importantly he confirmed a suspicion i had with another highly rated hvac/plumbing company. This other company (Streamline Services, Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical) stated a few months earlierbi had growth in my ductwork and of course suggested follow up work costing over $1,000. However, since my hvac system is about 3 years old i was of course suspicious and contacted Air Experts which I use to service other rental properties i own. They confirmed with pics that there was absolutely no growth in my ductwork or any other component of my hvac system. This alone gives me confidence to use Air Experts for my other rental properties going forward. I will no longer being using the services of the other hvac company."

"After numerous "pros" came to repair my HVAC system, I always got the same response....you need a new system for 8.5 to 12.5k. What they don't know is I know enough about these systems to know the cost of parts and how the system works. So when the "technician" shows up and says they don't know which of the 5 parts was a problem, I'm skeptical. I just don't want to fix everything myself anymore. Comfort Monster is different. The difference is their technicians do not work on commission. Repairman from other companies get paid when the customer has to buy a new HVAC system, giving no incentive to fix anything. Comfort Monster technicians take pride in solving the puzzle of why the machine isn't working. I have two systems and when they inevitably have a problem, I'm calling these guys. Dude even gave my little girls Comfort Monster plush toys and they carry them everywhere!"

Our response time was excellent and the job was completed within 24 hours. Tracy was very knowledgeable and teachable about our new HVAC. Definitely, would recommend them to others."

"Luckily, I had invested some time researching Angie’s list. Naturally, I was looking for the top performing companies and for loads of happy A’s. That’s how I found Cape Fear! My service tech, BTW, was sharp and very professional. I enjoyed doing business with the whole Raleigh Cape Fear team, as it turned out. I'm buying a home in a golf course community across town, as I write this review. The Sellers at that property are working with me to resolve some, hopefully, small issues with their HVAC units (so that this sale will run smoothly). Though, I just researching their HVAC provider’s (1.5 stars … gulp!) rating --and his one page "pricey" report. Looked like very hefty charges (to the Sellers) for what is listed as a “quick fix". I am sure I will want to do my own system inspection, now. And, Cape Fear can give me that peace of mind."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, high-efficiency models reduce environmental impact with lower energy use.

There are several tell-tale signs that your AC coils need cleaning, including:

  • You’re getting higher electricity bills.

  • Your home doesn’t feel as cool as it usually does.

  • Your AC unit is running longer than usual to cool your home.

  • Your home is more humid than usual.

  • The coil is covered in frost while running.

While both have advantages, a split system is generally cheaper than a ducted one. Because they are less invasive to install, the labor costs are lower, and they can be more energy efficient. But, a ducted system might be worth the investment if you run it more frequently. 

The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season—spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.
