"I highly recommend Comfort Central. Owner Kevin Schumann and his co-workers, Jay and Thomas, did an outstanding job installing the new HVAC system at our house. Over a four-day period, they set up in our crawl space a furnace/AC unit, a new plenum box, pipes for venting, and a dehumidifier with its own elaborate duct and water-removal system that will help keep our huge crawl space dry. They also put in a new heat pump in the backyard and a thermostat in the house. I was so impressed by the people and the work they did. Kevin and Jay are remarkably knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to HVAC issues. Thomas did a very good job with the aspects of the project that he handled. Every installation presents its own challenges, and one of the best things about Kevin and Jay is their ability to improvise as the project moves along. They considered different options when deciding on the size of the new system, where vents should go, how the duct system should be repaired and improved, the placement and venting of the dehumidifier, and many other things. They always kept the code requirements in mind. They were on time, friendly, communicative, and always considerate about how their work affected us while we were in the house. Kevin, Jay, and Thomas were also terrific when it came to answering my many questions. Kevin’s wife Laurie, who manages the office, responded quickly to my e-mails and helped with scheduling. HVAC projects can be expensive and complicated, and we wanted the right company to handle ours. We learned about Comfort Central from our home health specialist who had worked with Kevin in the past and had received very positive comments about his team from customers. I can recommend Kevin and the Comfort Central crew without reservation."

"Amazing!  Through Angies List web site I requested an estimate on a new HVAC system.  I suggested 3 different dates and times that would work for me the following week.  Within a half hour, I had an email saying they would call me soon.  Another 15 minutes and the call came in.
Any of my suggested dates would work, but, they had time TODAY if I was available.  It was my day off, so, yes, come on out.
Arrived on time and proceeded to give me two full hours of investigation and inquiry as to my needs and desires for a new system.  Presented me with a detailed proposal on the spot which highlighted, on the back, all of their guarantees and commitments.  Of the two previous quotes I requested, one has never arrived and the other took two weeks.  
They pointed out complications that had not been noticed by the other companies.  (Quality did not know I had received other quotes)
My quote came in slightly lower than the other, but not for that reason only, I would only consider doing my business with Quality Air.  Even if they had been slightly higher on the quote, I would look forward to much better service and attention than from any other company I looked at.  
The need is not urgent, so I haven't sighed a contract yet, but I feel no need to look further.  Next spring, these folks are going to be putting in a new HVAC unit for me.

"Our initial estimation contacts - Clint THEN Frank were amazing. Timely, professional, took time to walk me through things, answered all of my questions and concerns thoroughly and gave me options. Frank came back with Tyler to do a load estimation to ensure we had the right size unit for our home. Ryan and Rob were our installation crew (along w Clint) and were also very courteous, informative, professional and polite. I also love how every member of the team was so thorough in cleaning up after themselves as well as courteous in taking shoes off when in the house. Brenda from the office was prompt in keeping me informed and very polite every time I called with questions. I love LOVE how they also gave us options for our install so it didn't feel like they were just trying to push the most expensive option on us. I could NOT have had a better experience and would highly recommend using this company for your HVAC needs in the future. We will absolutely be using them for any & all HVAC needs that may come up in the longer term. Thank you Sheer Comfort Team - you made our new HVAC install process a breeze. We appreciate all of you and the work that you did to make our home more efficient! - The Parker Family"

"Had an issue with a system 5 Star installed in August (7 months ago). They came out in 3 hours, and in 5 minutes realized that an electrician (separate project) had flipped off the wrong breaker. Had me up and running immediately. Cannot recommend 5 star enough for all HVAC work"

"Ducky Ducts has provided services for all of our investment properties and they always do great work. They clean and sanitize your all your home's vents and send pictures of the "before" and "after." Their dryer vent service has my machines running so much more efficiently as well as protecting them from fire risk. From their office personnel to the technicians, their staff is delight to work with and provides helpful timely communication. Highly recommend!"

"Wade and his crew arrived on time and were professional, very knowledgeable and courteous. They worked carefully and were respectful of our home and furnishings. He kept us informed as the cleaning proceeded. They did a great job on a pretty challenging project, since the ductwork had probably not been cleaned in decades. We are completely satisfied with their work. Since we have another renovation project planned and we want to keep the system clean, we plan to contact them again after the completion of this next project."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, HVAC zoning systems offer energy savings by allowing precise temperature control in different zones in your home. Rather than conditioning the whole house uniformly, these systems direct airflow where needed, preventing energy waste. Tailoring comfort to specific areas reduces energy consumption and lowers utility costs, making HVAC zoning an energy-efficient choice.

The average cost to replace or install a new HVAC system is around $7,500. However, the price can range from $5,000 to $12,500, depending on factors like the size of your home, the type and brand of the unit, and your specific heating and cooling needs. If you only need to replace certain components, the cost will be lower; for example, a new AC unit can cost between $2,200 and $5,500, while a new furnace costs $3,200 to $6,000. If additional work like new ductwork is required, the total cost could be as high as $22,000. It's best to contact a local HVAC company for an accurate quote.

Yes, ventless portable air conditioners exist, and not all standard portable air conditioners must be vented through a window.

Ventless portable units, often called evaporative coolers, do not have exhaust hoses. They use a water reservoir and a cooling pad to add moisture to the air, making it feel cooler. These units work best in dry climates because humid areas cannot absorb much additional moisture.

For standard portable air conditioners that do require venting, a window is not the only option; they can also be vented through a door, wall, or ceiling. However, it is essential to vent these units properly. Running a standard portable AC without venting it is counterproductive because it needs to expel heat to cool the room. Failing to do so will only increase the room's temperature.

The best way to reduce heat upstairs is to release it by opening a window. Hot air rises, and if you can create some airflow by opening a window upstairs and also one on a lower level, the hot air should be pushed out of the home. Remember that fans pointing out the window do a much better job of circulating air than fans pointing into the home.

Most AC repair technicians will take between two and six hours to carry out repairs, depending on the work needed and the accessibility of the unit. For example, recharging refrigerant lines should take one to two hours to service, while replacing a compressor, blower fan, or other major components can take five to eight hours. You can ask your AC repair technician how long they expect the job to take, but just in case, you should plan on being home and available for most of the day.
