"We had three quotes for a new HVAC system since ours was original to the house (22 years old) and was failing. They were middle of the road in price but were by far the most honest, fair and knowledgeable. He could have easily recommended us replacing our evaporator coils that are 4 years old but he said we might as well save $2500 by keeping the ones we have since they are fine and use the new refrigerant. He took the time to explain each system and what he would recommend for our house based on the readings he took. He was the only one who actually measured our house and looked at our vents vs the others who just quoted based on what we previously had. On the day of installation, they were on time and finished the job in 5 hours. They were clean, efficient and professional. We had used them previously for spring and fall maintenance and we will continue to do so...and will recommend them to anyone."
"My wife got home from a trip to find that he HVAC system was out. Southern Air came out, diagnosed that the system was having major issues (it was an old system so we knew we would have to replace it soon), and said they could install a new system the next day. We were amazed that we could even get someone out on another hot July day in Texas. They not only came out promptly, they put in a new system the next day. Amazing!"
"Aire Serve did a very good job of resolving problems that were created by a previous contractor, whose work caused water to leak from a ceiling vent. In addition to replacing the plenum and repairing the duct work from someone else's shoddy efforts, Aire Serve balanced the air flow in the house and did a great job of explaining the work that was done. I am very happy with the work done by Aire Serve and will continue to use them as my regular HVAC company. "
"Everything went great. They were professional. They sent a video introducing who would be doing the work. They assessed the problems, gave me a fair quote & I had the whole HVAC system replaced! Excellent job. Tomorrow the owner will come and explain everything to me again & I will download the thermostat app and complete the transaction $$"
"They did a great job. Very reasonable priced and did the job very promptly. Great customer service and knowledgable. They gave us the option of repairing or a new unit. No pressure at all. We decided on a new unit due to the age of our HVAC. Would highly recommend."
"Had to replace my HVAC system and Airbear was able to get it done for my family. They are the true definition of fast, friendly and affordable 10 out of 10 will recommend."
"Flaco and his team of installers were excellent, thorough and customer respective. Kelly Smith was the best to inform concerning all aspects of the HVAC systems and the mechanics, warranty, and functionality. There wasn't a dumb question at any stage of the process. Thank you for everything. God bless you and the company you guys represent."
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.
After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.
You can air condition your Arizona room by extending your home’s existing HVAC system or adding a ductless mini-split system. Arizona rooms that have full windows rather than screens only are a better choice for air conditioning—screens will let the cold air out as fast as the air conditioner can make it.
The compressor is the heart of your AC system and is one of the most important parts required to keep it functioning properly. If your AC unit is making a popping, banging, clanging, clicking, or screeching sound, it could point to a problem with the compressor. If the unit is physically vibrating, that can also be an indication that your AC compressor is going bad.
If your AC runs constantly, it could be due to a number of things, including a faulty thermostat, incorrect temperature settings, or broken equipment. Alternatively, you might have an airflow problem (for example, blocked vents or leaky ductwork). Either way, an HVAC pro can identify the specific problem and fix it for you.
The best way to save money on HVAC repairs is by regularly having your system inspected and maintained. This can prevent bigger problems and costly repairs and replacements in the future. It’s also smart to buy quality equipment and hire companies that provide warranties on equipment and labor. If you need repairs, you may be able to save money by cashing in on rebates and incentives or keeping the area around your HVAC unit clear to shorten the time your contractor needs to spend in your home.
