"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"
"Great !! Gabriel was on time and went right to work. He took pictures of duct work before and after. He supplied my wife and I N95 masks to wear during the cleaning keeping us safe. Gabriel was a true professional."
"Absolutely top notch service and knowledge for the best price around Literally wouldn’t even consider calling another hvac company - thank you Keenan we look forward to the next time we need your services"
"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!"
"They will do their best to make sure the issue is fixed and the customer is satisfied, if it is not they will provide a solution or will provide refund to parts replaced/installed if the issue is not resolved with what was done."
"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"
"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!"
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
If you don't clean your AC evaporator coils, dirt and debris will build up, which impairs the system's ability to transfer heat. This forces the unit to work harder, leading to inefficient performance, higher energy bills, and frequent breakdowns. Over time, neglected coils can corrode, which may cause refrigerant leaks, or develop mold, ice buildup, and a clogged condensate drain, resulting in poor air quality and an uncomfortable home.
You should flush your AC drain line once every three months to keep it clear of debris and buildup. Keeping your AC drain line clean prevents clogs, backups, mold growth, and extra wear on your AC unit. If you live in a humid area or have several furry pets, up your cleaning schedule to once a month.
Most HVAC companies recommend against setting your AC below 70 as it could freeze up the system and cause more problems. Regardless of how hot it is outside, there is generally a 20 degree difference between the outside and inside temperatures, so even if it’s 100 degrees outside, your AC will likely not be able to cool your home to 70 degrees.
Replacing an HVAC system does not always include new ductwork. The decision depends on the condition of your existing ducts. If they are in good shape, correctly sized for the new unit, and meet current standards, they can often be reused. However, if the ducts are damaged, poorly designed, or improperly sized, they will likely need to be replaced or upgraded to ensure the new system operates efficiently. An HVAC contractor will assess your ductwork and recommend the best course of action. Typically, ductwork is purchased separately, and a full replacement will add to the overall project cost.
It’s normal to hear a low humming sound as air moves through your vents. Most of the time, you probably won’t even notice it. However, if that sound becomes disruptive or if you hear more concerning noises (such as rattling, clicking, banging, hissing, or grinding), there might be a problem with your HVAC system.
