"I contacted Mabreeze for my hvac no longer working. They were professional from start to finish. Scheduling went great they was very accommodating to my needs and was able to get out during there busy season. After diagnosing my unit presented me with options and we decided to go with the top of the line replacement which made the most sense for us. They got this taken care of as soon as they possibly could. Very clean job they took care of my home as if it was there's and even offered a great warranty! They will be my go to Hvac company for life!"

"Received prompt call after setup on Angi. Wagner HVAC did service call on AC unit had issue with fan motor not turning on. TEMP WAS 90 degrees plus in house. Diagnosed that fan motor ok. Found issue with new thermostat that was not wired correctly. Checked compressor for faults. Other providers actually quoted replacement. The price for the service call saved me thousands. I would highly recommend WAGNER HVAC AND REFRIGERATION LLC to everyone. I intend to purchase maintenance plan with them also."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, adding central air can increase your home value by as much as 10%. Generally speaking, prospective buyers prefer a central AC system over a ductless system or room-by-room AC units. That’s because central air conditioning blends into the home easier than individual room air conditioners and typically has less equipment to maintain.

As a general rule, you should have your HVAC system professionally serviced at least once a year, though it's best to follow the manufacturer's specific recommendations. Many experts suggest twice-yearly maintenance: once in the spring for the cooling system and once in the fall for the heating system. This is especially recommended for older units, systems with recurring issues, or heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling. Regular service, which can cost between $100 and $550, keeps the system running efficiently, helps prevent costly future repairs, and saves money on utility bills.

While it is possible to add Freon to your AC unit yourself, it is not recommended. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits the handling of Freon without a license. Freon is a dangerous gas that can cause irreversible damage to your AC or yourself if not installed correctly. It is worthwhile to hire a professional to add Freon to your AC.

An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:

  • Furnaces: 15 to 30 years

  • Boilers: 20 to 35 years

  • Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years

  • Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years

  • Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years

Yes. Getting a whole-house dehumidifier can help you save money on energy bills. How? Your home automatically feels cooler when there’s less humidity in the air (“It’s the humidity that gets ya!” is such a true statement). This means that you won’t need to run your AC as much as you would if you had all that extra humidity in your home.
