"Adam was great to work with, small local businessman found by google search. Primary focus is long term customer relations so equipment estimate was appropriate for install -vs- upsell at every opportunity. Project was less expensive than most vendors in part for not selling name brand highly advertised company logos. My equipment was a HEIL AC unit - my existing unit was 2 years beyond life expectancy when I moved into my home and it lasted for 6 more years prior to replacement so I have no concerns over reliability. Request estimates, *a lot of them* for comparison - encountered many silly problems with many companies. One sales person arrived 30 minutes late for an appointment. Another was offended by having to compete with other vendors. One estimate arrived in the mail two weeks after asserting "ready that afternoon" citing price but no equipment detail. "construction included" - some estimators are cavalier about finding work. Yes I am already aware of those issues -- repeating several times *WE* will do work in *YOUR* home followed by making those items a required dependency for the project, thank you for playing but no. All of these items can be worked on separately, there is no need to work on/bill for three major projects in one sitting. One for ex, if a homeowner is replacing plumbing pipes and will later install a humidifier there is no need for your installation to include the cost of labor for "plumbing installation". I encountered none of this nonsense working with Veritas. No high pressure sales or badgering about the sale, determine what was needed and schedule an install if you plan to hire them. Adam has experience as both a service technician and later on as a project mgr and lead for planning and larger installations. This background knowledge is essential for creating an accurate estimation, if equipment size, fans, etc are not properly matched to the HVAC ducting there will be problems with equipment freezing or being inadequate. This is one area where "bigger is always better" will not be a good answer. Also one suggestion, research equipment vendors beyond the company website. Nothing instills confidence in "we stand behind our products" quite like reading details of a class action lawsuit brought against a well known vendor for unreliable equipment. The company in question did provide replacement parts free of charge for defective elements but left customers with $1000.00+ service call/labor bill for a tech to diagnose and replace the parts. I have no concerns about vendors or long their long term equipment support for the units suggested and installed. In summary I would have no concerns recommending Veritas based on my experience and their service to date."

"Excellent service, very fast response to my request for service, picked up laptop, diagnosed issues. Initially thought it was an OS update issue but the hard drive had failed along with other components (including 'CPU). Because other components were involved, a new solid state hard drive was put into a laptop with a working processor - same type CPU as in the failed unit. The laptop was repaired and returned in less than a week. This company picked up and dropped off the laptop (driving from Huntsville, AL (about 60-70 minutes)-- great service in this covid environment. I would recommend this company to my family./friends and will use again."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

A blocked return air vent can cause your HVAC system to work much harder and, therefore, less efficiently. The result is higher utility bills and poorer air quality. A blocked return air vent can also cause unpleasant dust, dander, and odors to linger in your home’s air.

Yes, you should turn off your AC if it’s leaking. Turning off the system prevents more condensation from leaking and reduces strain on the unit if a damaged internal component or lack of refrigerant is the cause. While this may temporarily stop the leak, water can continue to drip from a thawing coil even after the system is off. As soon as you notice a leak, turn off the unit and investigate the source or call a professional for an inspection.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your air conditioner, several factors should be considered. It is generally worth repairing the unit if it's less than 10 years old, the warranty is still active, and you're dealing with a one-off issue. Most central AC units last about 15 years, while window units last 8 to 10 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed the 10-year mark and requires frequent or costly repairs (e.g., over $5,000), replacement is often the more sensible long-term investment. For older, inefficient, or out-of-warranty units experiencing multiple problems, replacing it is typically the better choice.

The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season—spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
