"Freedom Air Mechanical did an amazing job with replacing my boiler. I had 5-6 people come out to give me opinions and Craig was the only one that really took his time to help me find the best boiler for my home. He was very responsive, answer all my questions and concerns, and very importantly I knew he was honest. Out of all the potentials companies I considered, Freedom Air was the only one that gave me options and tried to help me save where I could. I would recommend Freedom Air Mechanical to my family and friends all day."

"This was our second appointment......Jake was prompt, courteous and efficient. Reasonable cost too! He cleaned one of the mini-split units in record time. Then he found the leak in the system that's been a problem. Highly recommended! Appreciate your work and thank you for your Military Service!"

"Kevin was great. Our Central Air System died during a Heat Wave . When other companies told us they couldnâ t give us an appointment for two weeks, Kevin came the next morning and on a Holiday weekend. He was quick and reasonably priced. We would highly recommend Kevin Russo to anyone looking."

Customers say: True professional

"Gary and Tina are such pleasant people and they know their business. They let me know exactly what they were doing; even showed me how their equipment works and took before and after pictures of my air ducts - which it seems had never been cleaned in the 40 year history of the house! They are very accommodating to people like me who are very curious. They don't mind at all if you watch them while they work. Their thoroughness is impressive. They are also one of the few companies that work on mobile homes. I highly recommend them."

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

You can protect your air conditioner in the winter by turning off the power at the thermostat and performing routine HVAC maintenance in the spring. Regular maintenance, cleaning, and repair of your AC unit helps protect it and extend its life span. If you have a window AC unit, remove it from the window and store it in a dry place during the winter. Window units cannot withstand freezing temperatures. Keeping them in your window also allows cold air to seep into your home.

DIY is possible for basic cleaning. Professional services handle advanced maintenance like recharging the refrigerant.

Traditional central air conditioning systems require ductwork to circulate air throughout the home. Alternatively, you can add air conditioning with a mini-split ductless air conditioning system, which can be just as energy efficient as a central air conditioner. This type of system consists of two units–an outside unit that holds the compressor and condenser and an indoor unit that holds an air-handler. With multi-zone ductless systems, there are multiple indoor air handlers tied to a single outdoor compressor/condenser, allowing the system to cool multiple rooms.

A new HVAC system can increase your home's value by about 5% to 7%, which can translate to an added value of $2,500 to $3,000. The return on investment (ROI) can be around 30%, especially if you upgrade the entire system, including ductwork and insulation. Adding modern features like a smart thermostat can further increase your home’s value by making the heating and cooling systems more efficient and convenient. However, since a new unit can cost $10,000 or more to install, it's important to weigh the upfront cost against the potential increase in home value. For a specific assessment, it's best to consult a local AC installer.

The general rule of thumb for figuring out how much AC tonnage you need in your home is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of space you need to cool, you’ll need one ton of AC cooling power. So, a 1,000-square-foot home will need 2 tons of AC power.
