"A few weeks ago, after an advanced visit from Ian, a trustworthy Fresh Air Flow HVAC Advisor, during which time, we went over models and he recommended the size ac and furnace, Shawn and Dennis from Fresh Air Flow installed our new Carrier Air Conditioner and Furnace system. They were prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and tidy. They worked together really well and knew their jobs. Very professional! All my questions were actually answered, nicely, and in a way that showed they cared. They did a great job and I highly recommend Fresh Air Flow. 5 stars! - John S."

"We got 5 estimates and they came in far lower priced than anyone...it was so low my wife and I were concerned if the price was even correct. Based on the other prices we were only going to get the central air done for now..however with their pricing we could afford to get it all done. They promised to be out and install our new Central Air, Heater and water heater in about a week.  They showed up on time and they even finished sooner than our sale rep had told us.  We only had it in about a week now but so far we are extremely pleased!  If you are considering a new Central Air, Heater or water heater I highly recommend you get an estimate from them..I'm quite sure you'll thank me later.

"

They came in the first vent they came to

took off vent cover cut middle piece of metal on frame of vent . Then they jammed their hose down the vent and went to other vents  and blew air into them to clean lines. All the other times I had my ducts cleaned it was done from the basement...I'm not sure how well this other way worked.

"Vaughan company was very responsive to my call and scheduled the work on the same day. Anthony tested the AC unit and determined that it needed coolant added. The work was completed quickly. House is cooler now and AC is keeping up with the hotter temperatures."

"I've used Pure Aire in the past and will continue to use their services. Staff is very nice and accommodating when scheduling appointments. Price is very reasonable. Time of arrival is punctual. In fact, arrived a little early. Called the next day as a follow-up if I had any questions or concerns. Provided recommendation for future cleanings. From the first phone call, to the service being completed excellent experience. I recommend anyone wanting to have their duct work cleaned or their dryer vent, this is an A+ service to use."

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Because of the improved efficiency, ACs with higher SEER ratings tend to cool down your home better than models with a lower SEER. Higher-SEER AC units have a higher cooling capacity and a lower energy demand, meaning they may help cool your space faster without running up the electricity bill.

A home AC unit provides anywhere from one-half to five tons of cooling and requires approximately two to four pounds of refrigerant per ton of cooling. At approximately five to 10 minutes to fill one pound of refrigerant, a home that requires three tons of cooling will take about six to 12 pounds of refrigerant and approximately 30 minutes to two hours to completely recharge the unit.

After a while, dust, dirt, and other debris accumulates on an AC unit's coils and filters, making it less efficient and spreading allergens and other air pollutants throughout your home. Cleaning your AC unit will keep it running efficiently, minimizing future breakdowns and improving your indoor air quality.

While spending money once or twice a year to tuneup your AC and furnace might seem like a waste of money, think again. The cost of HVAC maintenance is far less than the cost of replacing your furnace or AC unit, regardless of the type of HVAC system you have. Paying this smaller fee now will help you avoid paying much more significant costs in the future. Not to mention, having a serviced AC and heating system will help keep your home comfortable, no matter the season. 

Yes, the furnace and AC use the same blower. The blower is located in the base of the furnace and pushes hot air out of the furnace and into the ducts. It also pushes cool air through the home when the air conditioning is on. Even though the furnace and air conditioning work independently of one another, the blower is an essential component for both systems.
