"Chose Brothers via Angi to determine our heat pump problem. Their assessment led us (given it's age) to decide to replace the system. I obtained multiple quotes and Brothers was priced the best. They promptly installed a new system. All of the guys involved like Matt, Andrew, Shawn & Jamal (forgetting the electrician and another tech guys name, but they all) did an excellent job. I would highly recommend using Brothers for your HVAC needs."

"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."

Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.
While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.
The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.
Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
