"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 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."
"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
While an air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, it is not recommended as it will not work efficiently. A dirty filter forces the system to work harder to circulate cool air, leading to reduced airflow, increased wear and tear, and higher energy bills. This added strain can cause the air conditioner to overheat or fail prematurely. Furthermore, a clogged filter may allow dust and dirt to accumulate in your ductwork, negatively impacting air quality. It is more cost-effective to clean or replace filters regularly than to pay higher utility bills and risk needing to replace the entire AC unit.
Setting your AC unit to 78 degrees can, indeed, help you save energy. In fact, according to experts, every degree you turn the unit up could save you between 1% and 3% on your energy bills. That said, turning your unit off entirely while you’re out might actually be less efficient than keeping it on at a higher temperature. Why? The unit will need to work extra hard to cool the house back off again after all those hot hours.
The best way to reduce heat upstairs is to release it by opening a window. Hot air rises, and if you can create some airflow by opening a window upstairs and also one on a lower level, the hot air should be pushed out of the home. Remember that fans pointing out the window do a much better job of circulating air than fans pointing into the home.
The $5,000 rule for HVAC systems helps homeowners decide whether to repair or replace an AC or furnace. Take the quote for the HVAC repair cost and multiply that by the age of the HVAC system. If the total is higher than $5,000, it’s more cost-effective to replace the system. If the total is lower than $5,000, consider repairing the system.
You may be able to clean mold from your air conditioner in some cases. If the mold growth only takes up a small area, you can use either vinegar or bleach mixed with water to remove it. Larger areas of mold should be left to the professionals, though. It's also a good idea to leave mold removal to the pros if you are sensitive to mold or have asthma.
