"Before I called Maynor, I had 4 other companies give me an hvac replacement quote. Maynor was the 5th. I was very impressed with Mike who gave me the estimate. He exactly gave me the picture of what HVAC I was going to get and gave me choices and time to think about it. I decided to go with Maynor because of their reputation. NATE certified installers. I was right. Junior and Biri came to install my trane hvac with both heating and cooling. I also had zoning done. Very professional. Came on time at 7:30 and finished around 4 pm as I had zoning done the same day. Very impressed with the work done and the efficiency is to say the least. The next day, Jaime (supervisor) came to my house and reassured me that everything is working great. I appreciate the reassurance as it is a big investment. They are open 24/7 and they listen to your needs. Competitive quote and honestly lower than everyone else considering the quality of work. My heating was in the attic and the work was outstanding (I took before and after pictures and inspected everything they did). The zoning works perfect. If you are looking for quality, efficient and superb work, go for Maynor. You will never go wrong. I had researched, read all reviews and got estimates from 4 other big hvac installers. I was not convinced until I met Mike who was honest, detailed and organized. The only one who gave me the specific model number of the hvac I was getting and educated me regarding the different kinds of hvacs. Also, he did not push me to go with other brands like all the other 4 companies did. Maynor took care of me and I know they will take care of you too."

"Very well. Techs were held up but called to alert me and arrived exactly when they predicted. They were quick and efficient, and also very respectful of the home. They finished more quickly then anticipated. The HVAC system is quieter since they performed the work and I notice less dust. I could not be more pleased."

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."

"Very good experience; professional and courteous. I called in the morning after finding I had no heat. Craig was out within hours to diagnose the problem. He had to order a part but was back next day to install. I would recommend them!"

"Dominion Services replaced my 30-year old HVAC system (the outside compressor, and the inside air handler) with a modern one having a 50% increased efficiency rating. The quality of their work is high (four friendly employees with more than 100+ years' combined experience were involved) and have good flexibility to adjust to my work schedule. They easily adapted the new system to the existing hook-ups, and were flexible in their selection among alternate, reliable replacement HVAC systems. The replacement cost was well within the range of the national average. I recommend contacting Dominion Services for insight into any HVAC issue."

"Very satisfied with the outcome. The house was not occupied while this work was being done, so I was not present during much of the work to observe the installation of system & ductwork, but it worked beautifully once we moved in and began to use it, a turnkey experience. Twice since then we've had questions (e.g., Can we move the ductwork in one part of the attic to accommodate new attic stairs?), and both times they were very responsive and came out at no charge to me, despite the fact that the work was done over a year ago. I've interacted with both Mike (the owner) and with one of his technicians, and have been very satisfied with the level of customer care I've received. I will use them in the future for our heating & A/C needs.

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to compare HVAC quotes is getting a few detailed quotes from local companies with good reputations. Then, go over the quotes line by line. Protect yourself by insisting on in-person estimates that include equipment manufacturer names, model numbers, SEER ratings, amounts and numbers of materials, details of warranties on equipment and labor, and other specifics. 

Knowing the exact equipment and materials is the only way that you can fairly compare quotes. Quotes that are much lower than others can be a sign that the company isn’t providing the best quality service or materials.

High humidity, bad insulation, warmth from sunlight, and poor circulation are all reasons your home’s hotter inside than out. While this is what you want in the colder months, summer can become unbearable if this is a constant. Try to find the cause, but you need to remember that issues like this require a permanent fix (unless you want to bear down during the summer months).

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Not if you have a standard unit. Because portable AC units actually work to dehumidify the room, you’ll likely need to drain the unit from time to time—but you won’t have to put water into it. There is, however, another type of air conditioner called a swamp cooler that requires water to operate. If you have a swamp cooler, you may need to fill a reservoir with water and potentially ice. But a swamp cooler is different from a standard portable AC unit.

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.
