"I have hired Lokuta's a few times over the past few months as I've had a few issues in a recently purchased fixer upper. Each time I've called, they have either come that day or given me advice on the phone. It is great to know I can trust them as I've been having problems with almost every other contractor I've tried to hire or have hired for this house! I will continue to use Lokuta's for all of my HVAC and plumbing needs!"
"I had a very hard time finding someone to fix my HVAC - dehumidifier in my home. I finally found Hud Mechanic. Bill contacted the manufacturer of the unit & figured it out. Bill also installed a water holding tank to my well and also replaced my hot water heater. I then asked if he did carpentry which I had an unfinished closet I wanted done. He put up walls,, installed a shelf & a bar & then painted it. He also installed kitchen wall cabinets. Whenever I called his Secretary with a question, she checked with Bill right away & got back to me immediately. I recommend HUD Mechanic for all your repair/install needs! I will be contacting them again. Excellent Contractor!"

"Cornell was excellent to work with. He knew his stuff. The previous electrician had messed up our system by turning the whole basement in 220v. Cornell figured out what needs to be done and did it in a reasonable time and price. Will love to hire him anytime."
"Came when stated they would be here. They checked the unit. It needed a part and when it came in they installed it. Was professional, respectful and pleasant. I'd recommend them. I may also be calling them for other jobs soon. Thanks Angi for the recommendation. And Thank you PT Mechanical!"
"From the estimate to ordering the job was done in a timely manner. The Technician was very informative, did a great job & cleaned up any mess he made. Chris was great!! We are ready for Summer with our new Mini Split AC units."
"Bogdon installed a frameless glass shower enclosure for my new bathroom. Due to the shower curb being not level (this wasn't his work), he was able to make a custom, clear shim so it wouldn't be visible, and modify the metal sliding door guide. He is creative and skillful. The shower looks amazing."
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
Vents may blow air even though the air conditioning system is off because of the pressure difference between indoor and outdoor air or drafts from leaky ducts. Check for leaks or drafts in the ductwork or around windows and doors.
You can buy a house with a 15-year-old HVAC system if you inspect the system for performance and budget for a replacement within the next three years. You can also negotiate the price with the sellers. Ask to look at the unit’s maintenance records and energy bills for the last two years to determine the shape of the HVAC system and its operating costs. Spend time in each room of the house to gauge if the HVAC keeps the home at a consistent temperature throughout.
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.
ACs don't run on water. They're not connected to drain pipes or any part of your plumbing system. However, they need refrigerant to run. Refrigerant is a gas or liquid that has a low boiling point and absorbs the heat in your home. ACs need this in order to be functional and cool your home. If you suspect your AC is low on refrigerant, you need to contact a licensed HVAC professional. Refrigerant is a dangerous chemical that requires specialized training and permits to work with.
