"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."
"Joe is very knowledgeable and responsive. Extremely thorough with describing the project. Very trustworthy which is hard to find at the big box HVAC & Plumbing companies! *Replaced 75 gallon hot water tank to a tankless water heater."

"My air conditioner was not cooling properly, so I found This company by Angiâ s list. They came out the same day, a Friday, on my schedule. The unit was frozen so they couldnâ t fix it right away. They needed to come back the next day. Unfortunately they were going to be out of town, however they said they would arrange for an HVAC friend to come out. Saturday morning at 8 am someone came out. The gentlemen cloud not have been any nicer. He fixed the problem in an hour. They didnâ t charge a fee to come out, nor did the gentleman who came out on Saturday require payment. It was left that they would get back to me for payment when they returned the following week. I have never met them, they didnâ t know me, and they could not have been nicer. They have found a customer for life, and I will recommend them to everyone I know. I canâ t thank them enough. If you are looking for an HVAC company, look no further than McCool Mechanical."
"Don is very knowledgeable of the appliances he works on. I trust his talent and opinions on what should be done to correct any problems with the appliance. He is the only appliance repair service that responded to my call within 24 hours. Any other one I tried would have a week or two wait time before they would come out. I found a new appliance repair guy in Don. I will without a doubt call Don should I need any other repairs."
"Needed a digital switch installed. They did not have the switch when arrived. They put in a temporary until the correct one arrived which was a week and a half later. The 2 men were very nice and the job was done correctly. The 2 visits combined were only a total of 40 minutes. I was very disappointed when they handed me the bill for 612. Dollars. After calling other electricians, the job after the fact , the job should have been no more than 350.00 . If you should use them, get a price up front."
"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!"
"They are very well oiled machine they have great communication skills . Everything is always ready to go with no problems i would highly recommend this property management company to all my HOA'S and homeowners"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
The outdoor portions of air conditioners are designed to weather the rain, so you don’t need to worry about it. An awning or roof will help protect them from snow or falling debris, which can do more damage. This is true of both window AC and outdoor units for larger systems.
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.
Most HVAC service calls include diagnostic fees, which could include checking on a specific issue you’re experiencing or running through a routine inspection checklist. If you called for a particular problem, the service call will also include an estimate to fix the issue, including materials and labor. Depending on your HVAC technician and the service you requested, you might also get a general inspection of your system components to ensure everything is working as intended.
A 3-ton AC unit is probably too big for a home that’s 1,200 square feet. If you have a 1,200-square-foot home, you likely need a unit that’s somewhere around 1.9 and 2 tons. An AC unit that’s too large will be really inefficient and cost you a lot of extra money on your bills.
An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:
Furnaces: 15 to 30 years
Boilers: 20 to 35 years
Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years
Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years
Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years
