"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."
"The experience with Joe was great and he was available after the installation of my tankless water heater to answer my questions. I will be using him in the future for my HVAC and plumbing needs."

"Joe did an excellent job cleaning my Buderus unit. He explained what was being done and why. He also explained how the system operates and the best way to use it. Also left it that I may call with any questions or concerns."
"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."
"The crew arrived exactly when they said they would. We had been given a range of what the job would cost. When the work was complete we were billed the lowest amount in that range. I was so grateful to have the project completed on time and for a reasonable cost that was half of another electricians estimate. I will call JP's Best Electric anytime I need an electrician in the future!"
"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!"
"Alex is great! My AC went out late on Sunday just prior to a stretch of 90 degree days. He called promptly after being contacted and was on site shortly afterward. Fortunately he had the needed part and got the AC working again within a couple of hours. Alex is friendly and knowledgeable and I would recommend him for any HVAC needs."
"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
Ceiling fans can be a great way to cool your home without the expensive utility bill of running an air conditioner. Plus, ceiling fans can sometimes run in both directions, pushing hot air down in winter and pulling cold air up in summer. With that said, air conditioning might be the only thing that helps if you live in a very warm climate.
At a minimum, an HVAC system should be serviced once per year. However, a twice-a-year service schedule—once in the spring for the cooling system and once in the fall for the heating system—is often recommended, especially for older systems, heat pumps, or in climates with extreme temperatures. Regular service, which includes inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, ensures the system runs efficiently, helps prevent costly breakdowns during peak seasons, and can extend the unit's lifespan. You can also schedule a service if you notice issues like poor performance or strange noises.
To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices:
Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat.
Clean or replace the filter at least every two months.
Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary.
Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues.
Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.
The decision to put your AC unit on the roof or ground depends on the climate in your area, the roof shape, accessibility, and budget. If you live in a warm climate or don’t have existing ductwork, it’s likely best to stick to a traditional AC unit that sits on the ground. However, if you lack yard space, live in a mild climate, and have easy access to the roof, your home may benefit from a rooftop AC unit.
Your heating and cooling systems cost you the most on your electric bill and make up 50% of your bill on average. Your washing machine, dryer, oven, and stove contribute significantly to your electric bill as well. Lights, fans, and smaller electronics add up, but aren’t the biggest energy consumers. You can reduce your power usage by setting optimal temperatures on your thermostat and investing in energy-efficient appliances.
