"My experience was excellent!! I highly recommend this company for service and installation. Nothing but professionalism. The pricing was extremely fair and much less than the standardHVAC industry charges. I formally worked as an estimator for a HVAC contractor and know the charges and markups are that are applied to labor and materials. The only concern this company had was to resolve the immediate repair the day I contacted them."
"ECC installed a new condenser and coil. Tony, who is one of the owners, did the job himself with two assistants. He was very personable, respectful, and thorough in his explanation of the work. The work was done in a timely and efficient manner, the work zone was left in clean condition and the installation itself appears to be very neat and professional. My strong impression is that Tony and his co-owner, Ed, are two highly experienced and professional craftsmen in this business who take pride in their work and I appreciated having the actual owners, not salesmen and crews, developing the proposal and performing the installation. The entire experience, beginning with Lisa at the office, Ed, who developed the proposal, and finally with Tony and his team, was excellent and I will certainly hope to engage them for future HVAC needs."
"Whitestone heating and cooling was very efficient and professional. They were on time and got the job done. Definitely will be using them for all my HVAC needs"
"For over 20 years my wife and I used another A rated Angie’s List heating and air conditioning firm and we have given them good reviews in the past. Recently our 20+ year old heater started acting up. At times throughout the day or night the burner wouldn’t ignite and we would be without heat. After seven service calls and various parts at the cost of $700.00 our old service company could not repair the heater and the problem remained unresolved. So we decided to get estimates to replace our entire HVAC system mainly due to it’s age and this unsolved problem. Vaughan Heating and Air Conditioning was on our list of acceptable companies to speak with due to their Angie’s List A rating. We called Vaughan and they sent Tony Pellegrino to our home the next day. My wife and I were very impressed with Tony. He spent over an hour at our home scoping out our basement, configuring our new system and answering our questions. Later that day we received the Vaughan estimate that Tony sent by email. I called Tony and he spent another hour on the phone addressing my questions and concerns. We received the other competitor's estimates over the next two days. We accepted the Vaughan’s estimate which was $1,100.00 more then the lowest estimate and $2,500.00 less then the highest estimate we received. Our choice was based on our comfort level with Tony, the price of the job, the longevity of the company (established in 1937) and the quality of the heating and air conditioning units that Vaughan installs. We accepted the Vaughan estimate on Saturday evening and Tony scheduled our job that coming week on Tuesday (for the heater) and Thursday (for the air conditioner). The reason for the one day in between work was because they squeezed our job into an already full week of installations and we were really pleased that they did that for us. On Tuesday morning at 8:30am the installer’s, Marcus and Jeff were at our house ready to start the job. These guys were friendly, professional, extremely competent and also very neat and clean, covering our rugs, etc. Jeff and Marcus did and exceptional job installing our new HVAC system. It’s “state of the art”! My wife and I are extremely happy with the job Vaughan Heating & Air Conditioning did and we could not be more comfortable, then we are now, in our home. A great price, a great people and a great job! We highly recommend Vaughan Heating & Air Conditioning! Len & Lorraine Fedullo"
"They were great. They gave me a verbal and written report at the end of the check up. The technician explained how the heating system works. He told me everything checked out well and that there was a lot of life left in my air conditioner and heat exchanger. He did not try to sell me additional services. I would use them again in a heartbeat if something did come up though. "
"I was in the need to replace my old hvac system that was 25 years old. While doing research online for the best system, I found the most advice would be to find the local heating and AC contractors that are knowledgeable and trustworthy to do the installation. I was worried if I would be able to find one, but that thought was gone when Nate came out to give the free estimate. He spent more than an hour to explain to me the options, or any question I had in mind (& believe me, I had plenty). I told him that I'd rather have the extra vents/pipes running through the attic to hide away from the view. Without hesitation, he asked for the access to the attic and squeezed himself through the hot attic to find the possibility. Throughout the process, he was very informative and knowledgeable, and promptly responded to any additional questions I had without pressuring me into making an immediate decision. It means a lot having someone that actually provides you true advice and even offers to have you do your own research prior to hire their service. Nate talked highly toward the business's owner who always want to run his business in the most honest way. I had the 2nd quote from another competitive company, and even that one provided a 5 years option for financing with 0% interest, I still quickly decided to chose CM over it because of their honesty and their willing to go an extra mile to do the job. Their price is also very reasonable and competitive. On the day of the installation (7/5/2017), Nate & Collin arrived at 7:30AM, laying tarp over rugs and floor prior starting their work. Later, Nate informed me that there would be two more technicians (Ed P, Ed Q) to help getting the job done quicker. They were all polite, put on slipper covers for their shoes, and even asked for my permission prior to going upstairs for measurement of any room for tax-refund paper-works. One of the trim from the attic's door was masked down & broken previously & Ed initiated to fix it up all nice and workable without me asking for it. The installation went very smoothly, all the vents/pipes were hiden way in the attic, and all the work spaces were cleaned up after they were finished. Nate briefed me how to maintain the system as well before he left. I normally don't write review, but with the service they provided, I feel they deserve to be known and recognized. I highly recommend Climate Mechanics LLC. for their service and honesty. It's so refreshing to find people that care about their customers and their business. Hopefully, I won't have to worry my hvac system for a long, long time, but if there is a problem, I know I can count on them."
"The service tech performed the work in a total professional way. Performed a complete analysis of my furnace to ensure all was well. Was extremely friendly and took the time to respond to all my questions. I recommend arctic air to anyone seeking hvac work!"
"Both Brian and Brian arrived at my home on time. They started with the air duct cleaning, and since my house has centralized heating and air conditioning, they started with the HVAC unit. In addition to their punctuality, I was impressed by the quality and speed of their work. For instance, even though the estimated time frame for the work was 5 hours, the actual length to do this work turned out to be less than 3 hours. In addition, they were very knowledgeable, thorough, helpful, and professional. I would highly consider hiring them for this type of work again."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.
Winterizing can still help you save money on energy costs and help prepare your AC for its work next year when you turn it back on. We suggest planning for at least some maintenance, even if winters are mild in your area.
Yes, having mismatched evaporator and condenser coils in your AC system can lead to serious issues. For instance, it can result in higher monthly energy costs as the system runs longer to compensate for the mismatch. This mismatch can also put extra stress on the system, compromising its efficiency and longevity.
Along with that, mismatched coils can lead to higher temperatures and humidity levels in the home. What’s more, using coils of different sizes may violate the manufacturer's warranty, as they are designed to work synergistically, and any mismatch could lead to repairs and system failure.
Most HVAC surge protectors last about three to five years, depending on how often your home experiences blackouts or brownouts. If your unit is susceptible to more frequent electrical surges, consider replacing your surge protector every two years. Consult your HVAC professional to determine when and how often to replace your HVAC surge protectors.
