"Very pleased working with Adams Heating and Cooling. They installed a new central air conditioner system from Rheem. Everyone I spoke with from Amber and Gene in the office, Terry in Sales, and Joey R and Alvin with the installation were friendly and professional."

"We've now had two amazing experiences with Kenny Do-It & Principe. We needed a quick fix in our AC unit and they responded immediately. We most recently hired them to install a central air unit in our new cabin and we are so happy we moved forward with them. Their communication is spot on and they were wonderful to work with. Absolutely recommend! Excellent work and great people."

"We were extremely pleased with the service of FinMar Comfort. Sean was knowledgeable and professional. He installed a split heat/air conditioning unit in our sunroom so we could use it all seasons. He went out of his way to find us a unit that was reliable but fit our budget. Sean also helped us every step of the way with permits and warrenty information. Would defintely recommend FinMar Comfort"

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Absolutely! You can seriously improve the overall value of your home by maintaining high-quality, compatible systems for heating and cooling. Potential buyers will love not having to worry about getting a new HVAC unit for 15 to 20 years and will pay more for it. For maximum efficiency and cost savings, replacing the furnace and air conditioner at the same time, when possible, gives you (and potential future buyers) reliable comfort and modern convenience.

Not if you have a standard unit. Because portable AC units actually work to dehumidify the room, you’ll likely need to drain the unit from time to time—but you won’t have to put water into it. There is, however, another type of air conditioner called a swamp cooler that requires water to operate. If you have a swamp cooler, you may need to fill a reservoir with water and potentially ice. But a swamp cooler is different from a standard portable AC unit.

Running a window air conditioner unit costs about $0.06 to $0.88 per hour. Choosing the correct size air conditioner can help it run more efficiently.

For the most part, you should leave your AC fan in “auto” mode so that it only runs during a heating or cooling cycle. Keeping it in this position uses less energy, which equals lower utility bills. However, there are some situations where it’s better to leave your AC fan on, including if you have allergies or there are lots of people in your home.

It all depends on the unit’s SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio). A higher SEER rating means better efficiency and lower costs for your energy bills. 

Take a look at the product you’re considering purchasing and compare it to other models to decide which one is affordable upfront but will keep your energy costs low over time.
