Q: How long does it take to replace an AC and furnace?

• <div><p>Replacing both an AC and a furnace takes a full day on average, ranging from eight to 12 hours. The process involves removing the old units, installing the new ones, and ensuring all connections are properly made. If both systems are being replaced simultaneously, it can take longer than installing a furnace alone, so plan accordingly.</p></div>

Q: Do mini-splits cool as well as central air?

• <div><p>Yes, mini split systems cool equally as well as central air. While a central system circulates air throughout the entire home at the same temperature, a mini split system allows each room to be cooled or heated at different temperatures based on your own preferences. Hire a HVAC professional to determine which type of system is best for your home. </p></div>

Q: What is the average lifespan of an AC unit?

• <div><p>On average, an AC unit lasts between 10 and 20 years. However, the specific lifespan depends on the type of unit, how often it's used, the local climate, and the quality of maintenance. Central AC units typically last 12 to 17 years, while window units have a shorter lifespan of 8 to 10 years. Portable AC units last about 5 to 10 years, and ductless mini-split systems can last up to 20 years. To extend the life of your AC unit, it's important to perform regular maintenance, such as replacing filters, cleaning coils, and scheduling annual professional tune-ups.</p></div>

Q: Can you stay in a house with a Freon leak?

• <div><p>It depends on how fast an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-hvac-expert.htm">HVAC technician</a> can resolve the issue. First, if there's a refrigerant leak, you&rsquo;ll want to keep small children and pets out of the house. Next, you&rsquo;ll want to turn off the AC unit to ensure no more freon enters your home. Finally, you&rsquo;ll need an AC technician pro to come to your home and fix the leak immediately. Ultimately, it&rsquo;s best to leave your home if you discover a freon leak&mdash;the risk of exposure is very high, and it&rsquo;s not worth risking your health to stay.</p></div>

Q: What AC tonnage do I need for my house?

• <div><p>The general rule of thumb for figuring out <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/infographic-how-tonnage-affects-your-ac.htm">how much AC tonnage you need</a> in your home is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of space you need to cool, you&rsquo;ll need one ton of AC cooling power. So, a 1,000-square-foot home will need 2 tons of AC power. </p></div>

I had to have one of the window's cut in so it was a bigger job. They had an electrician come in to take care of the electrical part which reassured me that they were doing a professional job. I couldn't be happier with the work that they did. I love my windows!

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
