"We found CLIMATE MECHANICS from their stellar reviews while searching for a knowledgeable and competent HVAC company. For years, we were dealing with a condensation problem with our LG mini split air conditioner, and no one could find the source of the problem. We can honestly say that we've never experienced a company like CLIMATE MECHANICS so committed to making things right. Nate, the awesome climate mechanic that came to our home, and Robert, the owner of the company, could understandably have walked away because they did not install the system and were not responsible for the problem. Nate worked for hours trying to locate the problem. In the end, after so many years of leaking, CLIMATE MECHANICS went above and beyond and resolved our ongoing problem. Toni, their wonderful contact person, told us repeatedly that Robert just wanted us to be happy in the end. And we are. Totally. Thank you Robert, Nate and Toni."
"The work was done promptly and professionally, Dana was an excellent HVAC repairman. Work was done very well in an extremely hot attic, I would definitely use Laury again based on this level of professionalism. Thank You"
"Excellent all of Clays people are top notch Steve was no exception. I trusted the install and long term maintenance of my HVAC system to Clays Climate Control and I am very pleased"
"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."
"Ed & Cris arrived exactly at 1PM when they said. They hauled in a heavy suction vacuum and attached to both supply and then return lines. Showed me the dirt collected in the first stage of the cleaner. Both men worked hard and did an excellent job. Was not ready for the dust throughout the house but they did warn me of it. We just finished a dirty tile job so the vent cleaning was a natural first. This is my second Angie's list contractor and we are contented. "
"Very responsive and knowledgeable. The team wore masks, gloves and shoe covers the entire time.. Gave a good deal for a new HVAC system with a warranty, would absolutely recommend."
"Heating Specialties workers arrived on time and were very professional. The crew leader reviewed all of the work with me so I understood everything about my new AC system and how it worked. The were very respectful of my property and cleaned every work area before leaving. They trained my on how to program the new theromstats and made sure the I knew how to override the system should I ever have an issue with the zoned AC. I will use them for all of my heating/air conditioning needs for this point on. This is a five star operation."
"Willie and Weks Multiservice has been an amazing discovery for us. Dependable, reliable, affordable and extremely efficient. They have completely helped to give our home the look and comfort that we need."
"Depending on the configuration of your home this service can be veryyy expensive. Definitely get a quote prior so you can be prepared for the cost. This applies to whatever company you choose to perform your duct cleaning."
"The technician was great he diagnosed the problem with my gas fireplace and fixed it right away. I definitely would recommend hiring Chimney and Duct Experts for their service."
Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts
One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.
After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.
You might notice that your air conditioner isn’t running as effectively as it once did. Specifically, your AC unit could take longer to cool your home, or it might struggle to remove humidity from the air. Higher utility bills and hissing sounds coming out of your AC could also indicate a leak.
The cost to replace an AC unit averages around $5,900, with a typical range between $3,900 and $8,020. The final price depends on several factors, including the type and size of the air conditioner, its efficiency rating, your geographic region, and labor costs for installation. Smaller units like portable and window ACs are much less expensive, costing between $90 and $550, compared to central or ductless systems. If your current unit is less than 10 years old, repairing it may be more cost-effective than a full replacement.
A one-stage air conditioner only has one setting, while a two-stage air conditioner has a high and low setting. A two-stage air conditioner costs between $500 and $2,500 more than a traditional air conditioner, but it has a longer lifespan and helps to increase energy efficiency. To make this decision, you should consider your energy needs and available budget.
An AC inspection costs anywhere from $75 to $200, while a full HVAC system inspection that includes your furnace ranges from $200 to $450. While there's a cost to a home AC inspection, it can save you hundreds or thousands in the long run by catching problems, avoiding breaks, and saving you money on your utility bills.
