"The service included gas fired hot water tank replacement & air conditioning replacement. Mr. Kane was on time professional, accessible to all questions I had & courteous. Mr. Kane was a high energy individual with practical knowledge of his field as he described his work history in an unscripted manner. His was one of the lower bids but he offered the proper ton rating for our homes sq ft. over another co. His choice of Ameristar furnace &A/C was a solid choice as I reviewed all available heat & cooling products. Note most components come from China & are assembled in the U.S. He had a busy schedule but finished the early April furnace & hot water tank in a day . The need for the A/C I said was not priority & he explained he had a busy scheduled but returned on the day to finish the cooling system again on time. If his bust schedule allows Mr. Kane is a great choice for your heating & cooling needs Paul Martin Rochester NY."
"Great work done by Voda! Eric was on time and professional. He took the time to thoroughly assess and create a plan. Having 2 kids my area rugs are always disgusting but they have so much life left after his deep clean. He also cleaned my couch! He even checked some places I thought could be mold forming in the basement and assured me it is not and our family is safe! Voda has a long list of services they offer and I will keep them on speed dial! Thanks Jared and Eric!"
It is possible to add air conditioning to an older home, but it can be very expensive to do so. Expect to pay anywhere from $6,000 to $17,000 or more for the ductwork and AC unit. You’ll also have to hack into the home’s walls and ceilings to add ductwork, which can impact the aesthetics of an old home.
While you’ll pay more upfront for a brand-new HVAC unit, you can save money in the long run. Here’s how to save on your new HVAC system:
When purchasing a high-efficiency system, your energy bills will be lower in the future.
You may be eligible for special offers from your local energy company.
Depending on the system, you may be eligible for HVAC rebates and tax credits.
Choose to replace your air conditioning unit and furnace simultaneously to save on labor and installation costs.
While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.
Most HVAC surge protectors last about three to five years, depending on how often your home experiences blackouts or brownouts. If your unit is susceptible to more frequent electrical surges, consider replacing your surge protector every two years. Consult your HVAC professional to determine when and how often to replace your HVAC surge protectors.
An AC drip pan may stop draining if there’s a clog where the drip pan connects to the drain line. Clogs can form from a lack of cleaning or from rust or corrosion buildup. Cleaning the drip pan at least once per month lowers the chances of debris clogging the drain line.
