"Great job on time no hassle would recommend highly, efficient staff . New Propane heating system installed. Thank you Bob and Cory. Kenneth K New Hampton, NH."
"He was able to fit me in the same day I contacted him. Prices are incredibly fair. He works fast to set the parts needed and to schedule getting them installed to get you up and running. I'd highly recommend bigfoot HVAC for all your heating needs"
"Amazing service! very knowledgeable, clean work and super respectful! if you find yourself needing any help when it comes to your heating or Air Conditioning system, call Keenan without a doubt."
"I would definitely recommend Mitch Comeau and in fact, Iâ ve already recommended him to my neighbor. Iâ m very pleased with the service he provided. I thought he was trustworthy and his fees are very reasonable."
"Never having had to hire someone to fix my AC unit only to install it (and the company was not reputable), I had serious trust issues. Action was the only one to contact me of all the suggested companies. That made me even more suspicious! They were able to fit me in for the next day. Hmm, more hesitation. But I rested in Action's good reviews on HomeAdvisor and kept the appointment. I was so happy I did. Mike was fantastic. He was personable and extremely informative. He knows his AC and heat pumps really well. I look forward to having them back in a couple of weeks to clean my furnace and do some cleaning and troubleshooting on a Hearthstone gas fireplace. When one finds a company one can trust, well, stick with them and get what needs to be done, done. I am so happy to have done something so out of my nature, like trusting HomeAdvisor. Thank you, Action Plumbing, Heating, and Airconditioning!"
"I finally got to build my dream garage to store all my tools and have a cool hangout on Friday nights with the boys n a couple coors. Chris came and did everything from the bathroom and the heating system. I will definitely be calling him back to add a mini split in the future. He was professional, punctual and clean. Very knowledgeable you can tell he cares about his clients."
"Noah was very quick to respond to our inquiry. My husband and I were helping my MIL find quotes to replace her Central Air unit. Noah was very flexible with our schedule and made sure to answer all of our questions. Hometown Heating & Air had the best quote by far but still offered a great product and amazing service. The day of install they showed up early, got working and didn’t need us for anything. I highly recommend reaching out and hiring them!"
"be sure to enroll in their annual maintenance program. It is very cost effective and the folks who have come to the house have been outstanding. They all have a great work ethic and are very courteous"
"At first, I had a few small issues with scheduling but after talking with the girls in the office, the problem was immediately resolved and I am very appreciative for their quick correction. Once their electrician arrived, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, polite, professional and, efficient. He, as well as the rest of the staff at Rowells have been wonderful to work with! I have nothing but good things to say about the quality work that has been done at my house!"
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, 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.
Whether an HVAC damper should be open or closed depends on the season, the zone it controls, and the temperature in that zone. In the summer, open upstairs dampers and close lower-level dampers to get the most efficient cooling possible. In the winter, do the opposite. Cool air will naturally flow down to lower levels, while warm air will rise. This keeps your system from working harder and helps prevent common AC problems.
To keep your air conditioner in good working condition, you should have it serviced by a professional at least once per year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. If your AC unit is 10 years or older, consider servicing it twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall) to catch potential problems early and help it reach its full lifespan. During a service visit, a technician will inspect, clean, and replace parts as needed. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs. As a DIY task, you can also clean the evaporator coils annually.
Many HVAC manufacturers provide warranties that encompass the cost of a new compressor, with durations ranging from 5 to 10 years, depending on the brand. These warranties cover critical components such as the compressor, condenser, connecting tubing, evaporator, and refrigerant charge. Moreover, they often include the necessary labor for replacement or repairs. Keep in mind that premium-brand compressors may offer lifetime warranty options. It's essential to note that these warranties rarely cover labor costs.
