"Outstanding! Over a 17 year period on a previous house, I had hired dozens of contractors to remodel, install, fix, and service various aspects of that house – and Duane & Neal Carr are, by far, the most honest, straightforward, value-conscious, reasonably-priced, and dependable contractors whom I have ever worked with. From the first minute of hearing Duane talk about his HVAC recommendations for my home, I knew that I was talking with one of those very rare contractors who are singularly-focused on making sure that his quote reflected the absolute maximum value for the dollars that I would be spending for the new equipment. And he explained where these savings are found. You owe it to yourself to make Prime Heating & Air one of the two or more quotes you get for any HVAC work that you need done. I think you will agree with me that Duane & Neal are offering a customer experience that reflects integrity & values that are in short supply among today's contractors."

"Just asked for them to come by and let me know if my appliance was worth fixing or not. They let me know what was wrong and that it wouldn't be worth fixing if it completely broke down."
"They replaced my central air conditioning and hot water heater. Great process, good people. Very patient, answered all my questions (I was an engineer, so you know there were a lot of specific and obscure questions). Not the lowest price, but when it comes to making sure that the job was done correctly (and excellently) the first time, they were very well worth it!"

Hi, I’m Lenny Guenov, owner of Guenov Comfort Solutions. I’ve spent years working my way up in this industry, starting from the ground up. My journey began in a scrapyard, armed with nothing but a saw and sneakers. From there, I installed residential and commercial equipment and eventually became a service technician.\n\nAlong the way, I’ve been covered in mud in dirt fields, surrounded by scrap metal, coated in insulation in customers’ attics, and braving snow on commercial rooftops. Through it all, I’ve learned what it truly means to work with dignity and integrity. That hands-on experience drives me to provide honest, reliable solutions for every customer.\n\nYour not just getting a technician, you’re getting someone who’s lived the work, knows the details, and brings the reliability and honesty too often missing in this industry. I’ve fought tirelessly to earn my place in this tough, rugged field. All I ask is the chance to earn my place in your home and deliver comfort for your family

Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat.
Clean or replace the filter at least every two months.
Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary.
Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues.
Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.
Yes, mini-split systems are generally less expensive to run than central air conditioners and are significantly more energy-efficient. Because mini-splits do not rely on ductwork, they avoid the energy loss associated with ducted systems, allowing cooled or heated air to reach its destination more efficiently. Additionally, they offer zoned control, meaning you can run units in individual rooms and turn them off in unoccupied areas. This capability can lead to energy savings of about 30% compared to a central air system, resulting in a lower monthly energy bill.
A calculation method that your HVAC contractor will use to ensure your system does what it's supposed to is measuring duct output, or its CFM. The calculation requires knowing the cross-sectional area of the ductwork and determining the air speed past any given point within it.
It is normal for the attic to be hotter than the rest of the house in the summer, but only by about 10 or 20 degrees. Attics that aren’t properly insulated or ventilated can reach temperatures of 130 degrees or more which can cause damage to the home’s structure, including the roof, wood framing, and HVAC system.
Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between $75 and $150, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around $150. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.
