"Most of the work was performed by Joe's employee who was very courteous and very competent. He completely replaced out inner pipe stem and faucet system in bathroom shower, including cutting through sheet rock etc. The existing system was damaged and not repairable. The work was very clean. Joe specifically replaced hot and cold spigots in the basement connected to washing machine, work being also very competent and clean. Both men provided explanations and guidance that was greatly appreciated. Joe replaced hoses to washing machine and cleaned all water ports giving advise about maintenance. I would recommend this company. Pricing was fair for the time expended. I provided the hardware set and pipe stem for the bathroom."

"Excellent contractor! Very knowledgeable with simple and effective explanation. This service provider was able to successfully rebuild window trim, insulate/foam, and paint a great number of exterior windows efficiently. I definitely plan on hiring again. Great integrity and honesty with with a wide variety of skill. I've saved this company's contact information to hopefully help me do some insulation/sealing/weatherproofing in my basement."

"Jermaine and Lee did a great job installing my windows. They are knowledgeable, hard working, and reliable. They also were able to diagnose a gas leak for me which probably had been going on for some time. I would highly recommend them for window installation, carpentry and plumbing needs."

"Avi returned my call right away, and followed up right before our scheduled appointment. I had a leaking and corroded taco zone valve ,as well as cool to the touch radiators in my home. Avi assessed and explained the work to be done. I had many quotes from other plumbers and hvac companies. Glad I used Boss Plumbing. The pipe work surrounding the leak looks so new and clean! Best part --He showed me how to bleed my radiators. Remember you get what you pay for!"

"Pete and Isaiah did a wonderful job. They were here close to 6 hours dealing with duct work and dryer vents in my old (1840) house. Also cleaned the airconditioner condenser. They educated me about all the tasks they were working on, responded to my questions and showed me the result of cleaning they had done. I feel really good about the work they did and heartily recommend Duct Kings. Dottie"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The time it takes for an air conditioner to dry fully after cleaning depends on the unit's size and humidity levels. Most units will dry within two to four hours after cleaning, but check the manufacturer's recommendations for drying times. Make sure to leave the unit off until it's completely dry.

Yes. In fact, not only are AC tuneups worth it, but they’re actually necessary to keep your air conditioner in good condition, improve its efficiency, and potentially prevent major damage. Experts recommend getting a tuneup at least once per year. In most cases, you’ll want to schedule it during the spring so that you can address any issues before the hottest months of the year.

The DOE is phasing out AC units with SEER ratings that fall below 14 or 15. The exact minimum rating depends on your region. In the northern United States, new ACs must have a minimum SEER rating of 14, though you can still buy and install older systems as long as they were compliant when they were manufactured. In the southern and southwestern United States, you cannot buy or install older air conditioners with lower SEER ratings. The minimum rating is between 14.5 and 15, depending on the power of the unit.

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.

There are two main reasons your furnace and AC are turning on at the same time. The first could be that you’re confusing the furnace with the blower. The blower is located in the furnace and will turn on to distribute cool air from the air conditioner through the ductwork in the home. This is normal. If the actual furnace is turning on at the same time as the AC and hot and cool air are coming into the home, it could be a result of incorrect writing to a new thermostat or new systems.
