How long do HVAC systems last?

<div><p>Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/save-money-replacing-heat-ac-same-time.htm">replace both simultaneously</a> to save on costs and future hassle. </p></div>

What time of year is the cheapest to replace HVAC?

<div><p>While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost. </p></div>

How much do HVAC companies typically charge?

<div><p>The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between <b>$50 and $150</b> per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between <b>$150 to $500</b>. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.</p></div>

Should HVAC technicians be certified or licensed?

<div><p>Yes, most states require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-hvac-certifications-do-technicians-need.htm">HVAC technicians to be certified</a>, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. </p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: </p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi </p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

How much are typical HVAC repair costs?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-hvac-repair-cost.htm">The average cost of HVAC repairs</a> is around <b>$350</b>. However, that price can be as low as <b>$100</b> or as high as <b>$2,000</b> or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from <b>$100 to $500</b>. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from <b>$750 to $2,000</b>. </p></div>

"Jeff and his team did and excellent job with the installation of two Daikin HVAC units. I had many questions about the units and install and they were quick and thorough in responding. The price and warranty were competitive with high end brands. The crew was courteous and professional during the two day install. They were the only company that included replacement of the coolant lines, rather than just flushing the old ones. So far the Daikin variable speed AC units are exceptionally quiet and the house is very comfortable. Would recommend Ace Home Services and Unique Comfort without reservation."

OUR STORY For over seventy years, Mattioni Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, Inc.'s dedicated employees have proudly served the Chester County, Pennsylvania area with their knowledgeable, courteous, and professional service. A.F. Mattioni & Sons Plumbing & Heating was founded on the Mattioni family farm along the (back then) very rural Route 113 outside of Downingtown, PA in 1948. The original barn which housed the company still stands! However, a newer, larger building on the family's property is the current home for the third generation of Mattioni’s to run the service-oriented business, but their commitment to quality has not changed. OUR PROMISE Our promise to you is to continue to grow and modernize so that we can provide you with the best products and services. We will continue to stick to our roots of caring deeply for both our customers and our employees. We promise to live this every day and to continue this legacy.

"Overestimated the time to complete an 9 hr job by scheduling a 16 hr window (2 guys x 8 hrs) and charged for 16 hrs regardless. I'd imagine they did the same for the materials, 60 feet of duct needed but they quoted 200. Got the job done, but probably twice the price of what it should have been."

"Repair Service to Fix Gas Boiler - WM Henderson first sends out a tech who is not familiar with gas boilers and admits there is an issue but does not know how to diagnose it. I had to pay $89 for this. Instead of having the right person come out, I had to to actively call again to get someone else to come out. The 2nd tech diagnosed the issue, but wants to charge me the same $89 that I already paid. - and quotes me $380 for the repair - and has to order the part. I agree and then call back the next day to confirm part is on order - and they tell me the charge is $1,015. I asked to speak to a manager to discuss, and no one is available and no one calls me back.

This company is truly a gem, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the incredible service they provided. My heater had been misdiagnosed by another company, leaving my family and me in the cold—literally! Thankfully, I called Green Mechanical LLC, and they completely turned things around. From the moment I called, I knew I was in good hands. Devin Green, the owner himself, came to my house to personally assess the issue. This level of dedication and care is something you just don’t see every day! Devin’s professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine commitment to solving the problem made all the difference. He didn’t just slap on a temporary fix or rush through the job—he made sure to thoroughly diagnose the issue and explain every step of the process to me. A huge shoutout to Jacob and G, who also worked on my system. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and incredibly respectful of my home. Their teamwork and attention to detail were top-notch, and it was clear they take immense pride in their work. Thanks to Devin, Jacob, and G, my heater is now working perfectly, and my family can finally enjoy a warm, comfortable home again! I also want to emphasize how important it is to support small businesses like Green Mechanical LLC. These are the companies that truly care about their customers and their communities.
