"I can not say enough positive about Chris and Chuck and O 2 KOOL!! Chuck came out in early January to look at my old Trane gas furnace .. he got it going with no trouble. Now today ... during our ice/snow armageddon it went out again. I called and Chris FaceTimed with me .. looked at what was up and talked me through how to relight the system myself. Good news .. I now have heat! I strongly recommend them to anyone who needs help with their heating and cooling system! They not only helped, but assured me .. a 60 yr old woman .. everything would be OK and safe. That is a VERY rare quality!"

Family owned business with over 26 years of experience handling all your Heating and Air jobs- HVAC for residential and commercial.

"Pinnacle Heating and Air replaced my heat pump and all ductwork and their workmanship is excellent. Their pricing couldn't be beat. Not only did I receive excellent workmanship and great pricing, Brian and Kelli were always on time, always had the right tools and materials, and right solutions to resolve my unique AC needs. I highly recommend Pinnacle to anyone who wants HVAC work done right the first time. I have had NO ISSUES since the installation and in fact I am extremely satisfied with the whole experience (from the initial quote through quick installation). Kelli even filed my warranty papers for me, a real bonus. Brian certainly knows what he is doing, I have not had this high confidence in any other HVAC companies over the last 35 years of home ownership. An added bonus, having Brian and Kelli in my home was a real joy because they are both cheerful and pleasant to be around. They are extremely fast at returning my calls and texts and you certainly don’t get that with other competitors…recommend reaching out to them!"

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

No, it isn’t necessarily bad to turn your AC on and off frequently—contrary to popular belief. Even if you stop and start your AC throughout the day, it won’t use as much energy as it would if you ran it nonstop.

If you’re concerned about your power consumption and energy costs, there are a few simple ways to use your AC more efficiently. Regularly cleaning the filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using a programmable thermostat are all great choices.

Poor cooling, unusual noises, or frequent cycling are indicators that professional service is needed.

It all depends on the unit’s SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio). A higher SEER rating means better efficiency and lower costs for your energy bills.

Take a look at the product you’re considering purchasing and compare it to other models to decide which one is affordable upfront but will keep your energy costs low over time.

If you have the luxury of waiting a bit to replace your unit, they can drop in price depending on the time of year. Air conditioning units often go on sale in the fall after they’re not as in demand when the temps drop outside. Same with furnaces—prices drop in the spring when it starts getting warmer.

The cost of R32 refrigerant is about the same as the cost of R410A refrigerant, the most widely available type of refrigerant today. However, R32 systems use about 20% less refrigerant than R410A systems, making the refrigerant less expensive overall.
