"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
You can adjust uneven airflow in your home by adjusting the dampers on the vents. However, if the temperature feels consistent throughout the home, don’t worry too much about uneven airflow. Generally speaking, larger rooms should receive more airflow than smaller rooms, especially if they only have one vent.
If your AC suddenly stops working, the first thing to check is your thermostat settings. Ensure the thermostat is set to the appropriate temperature and mode (cooling). Sometimes, a simple adjustment or replacing the batteries in the thermostat can resolve the issue. If that’s not the issue, look to see if the circuit breaker tripped. These basic checks can often identify simple fixes before you need to call for professional assistance.
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.
Yes. It's not just AC filters that get dirty. Ducts can accumulate dust and dirt quickly. Insects and animals can also get into duct systems, creating many problems. Dirt build-up and unwanted guests can constrict the airflow and cause rooms not to cool evenly. You might also see higher energy bills because they're not working as efficiently.
Yes, mini-split or ductless AC systems add value to a home and do not devalue it. They are an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in older homes without existing ductwork, as they provide a practical air conditioning solution without the significant expense and hassle of installing traditional ducts. Ductless systems also eliminate issues associated with conventional ductwork, such as noise and the potential for pests. Furthermore, homeowners value energy-efficient solutions, and mini-splits offer high efficiency for both heating and cooling, plus zoned temperature control. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced electric bills, which is a major selling point.
