"A Maynor Heating and Air replaced my Earthlinked Geothermal system and Air Handler which was experiencing multiple issues. The owner Anthony spent many hours on the phone with the system’s designer to understand the system and determine the best replacement solution. Anthony spent many hours on the phone with me thoroughly explaining the different options. We decided to replace both the compressor and air handler. Unfortunately, the system was damaged in shipment which caused a lengthy delay but Anthony provided us with both window air conditioners and space heaters to make us comfortable. Everyone I encountered from his team was top notch and thoroughly explained the work they performed and cleaned up after themselves. A special thank you to Mark who stayed late several nights to ensure the complicated system was running correctly. You will not go wrong hiring A Maynor for your HVAC needs, they are a top notch company which offers personalized service."

"Called in these folks for a recurring problem with our 2nd floor AC unit leaking freon. Other vendors had investigated, but we had not yet come up with a consensus on the diagnosis. Very nice, very professional. First visit was unable to produce any insight, but I felt due diligence was quite thorough. A second appointment was setup to run a more thorough regression test. Unfortunately, it too was inconclusive. I felt they had done everything they could to diagnose a very tricky issue. Their final prognosis was that it had to be one of a couple of very rare and odd possibilities. Didn't feel too comfortable with this, but had no basis to argue. Total cost at this point between the two visits was $300 with no real progress. Eventually, we stumbled upon an excellent veteran AC repairman who investigated and confirmed an earlier hunch, and was able to explain why. We hired him to fix the problem, a leaky compressor coil (had to replace), and we've have never had a problem since. Now that we know what the issue was, I'd have to say I'm fairly disappointed with this vendor's performance. They firmly disputed the compressor coil as a possible cause. And we paid a decent amount of cash for this misdiagnosis. We'll stick with the guy who eventually fixed the problem as our AC repairman from here on out.

"Carolina Comfort Air installed a new HVAC system in my home, including the replacement of all of the original ductwork in the attic.  Consultant Jose was great.  He recommended a split duct system to allows the downstairs and upstairs to operate on separate thermostats.  He was able to schedule the installation in a timely manner.  The installation crew - Adrian, KJ, Joe and Aaron - were courteous, professional, knowledgeable and considerate and did a great job of cleaning up behind themselves at the end of each day.  The office staff were very responsive when I called with questions.  Carolina Comfort Air came highly recommended by a friend, and they did not disappoint.  I am very pleased with the installation and customer service.  I definitely recommend."

"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!"

"Cape Fear Heating and Cooling came by and restarted the pilot light on my gas heating unit. I also had him check everything to determine if the unit was ok. Because I had gotten a deal from Angie's list for a $29 service call, I expected him to find some other things that needed to be "fixed" to boost the cost of the visit. But he did not. He was honest and said everything else looked fine. I was very impressed with the honesty and professionalism. Unfortunately, I don't remember the guy's name. Thank you!"

"It was a Sunday, and my elderly parents were visiting, and the temperature outside was forecast to be in the 90s. The house was very hot, so I called at 7:30 AM, not thinking I would get through to anyone, but not too long after that, I got a phone call from their office, and before noon, the owner of the business (who was covering for his employees so they could take off the July 4th holiday), personally came to my house to fix our air conditioner. I will never call a different HVAC contractor again. Any time I need this kind of help, I only have one number to call. I strongly recommend R&C Service to anyone needing HVAC help."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

It’s critical to use the right size AC for your space and not go too small or too big. If you purchase an undersized unit, it won’t properly cool your house, and it has to work harder to reach the optimal temperature. This will eventually wear your unit out. An oversized unit can spell trouble because it will turn off and on more frequently, which also wears out your AC unit. An oversized unit also causes humidity in the home.

Some AC filters, known as reusable filters, can be cleaned and reinserted. Most AC filters, however, are disposable and cannot be cleaned. 

If you don't clean your AC evaporator coils, dirt and debris will build up, which impairs the system's ability to transfer heat. This forces the unit to work harder, leading to inefficient performance, higher energy bills, and frequent breakdowns. Over time, neglected coils can corrode, which may cause refrigerant leaks, or develop mold, ice buildup, and a clogged condensate drain, resulting in poor air quality and an uncomfortable home.

No, it's not advisable to only replace the outside AC unit connected to your system. AC units are designed to work as a cohesive system, and older units work differently than newer units. Therefore, replacing only one component can lead to incompatibilities that affect the system’s performance. Replacing one component can void your warranty, costing you money for repairs.

AC drip pans last five to 20 years, depending on the material. Plastic AC drip pans last five to 10 years, while metal pans can last over 10 years. Plastic AC drip pans are vulnerable to cracking in response to temperature changes. Metal drip pans are prone to rusting over time, which can also lead to leaks.
