"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."
"Excellent work by JP's Best. Got the job done quickly and explained everything as they went. Will definitely call them again for my next electrical issues."
"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
As mentioned above, not all HVAC Schrader valves are necessarily the same. While the valve core and pin or spring size on Schrader valves used for HVAC are generally similar, the valves are not all universal and interchangeable. The size of Schrader valves varies depending on whether it's used in an air conditioner, bicycle tire, or motor vehicle tire.
You can run an HRV with air conditioning—assuming that you decide to keep the system on during the summer. The HRV will continue to bring in fresh outdoor air, which will then flow into your AC unit and cool down your home. It will also keep moving the stuffy indoor air out of your house.
No, for two very important reasons. First, it’s illegal to release refrigerant into the air or ground since it can be toxic and cause environmental damage. Technicians typically pump old or extra refrigerant into separate tanks for special disposal. Second, without professional equipment to read refrigerant pressure and levels, plus the AC’s suggested requirements, it’s impossible to know if you’ve removed the right amount of refrigerant. Stay away from a DIY solution here and seek an expert with the right tools.
When first installed, flex ducts shouldn’t cause airflow problems in your home. However, because flex ducts aren’t the sturdiest and require extra support, they lose their durability over time and begin to sag, which can inhibit airflow down the road. Also, if your flex ducts aren’t tight enough, your HVAC could work twice as hard for the same air pressure. If you’re worried about the airflow in your home, a rigid duct may be your best bet.
There are ways to detect a refrigerant leak with several different testing methods. However, most homeowners can figure out something’s wrong with their AC unit by noticing these common signs:
Ice forming on the evaporator coil
Water leaks near the AC unit
Frequent hissing sounds
Increased electric bills
Unit takes longer than usual to cool
Unit is blowing hot air
