"Miguel came to my home after 9pm on a Thursday to fix our AC unit. What an amazing blessing to have someone care that much about another person. Knowledgeable, efficient, courteous, and professional. Couldn't have asked for a better person or a better outcome. Choose Miguel and Diligent Air!!"
"Michael cleaned and repaired my central air unit. He quickly found the problem and knew exactly what to do. He listened carefully to my explanation of my situation and helped me set up a plan for the future. He was kind, friendly and professional. I couldn't have asked for better service."

"We were very impressed with the work and knowledge Chris and Leslie provided to us while servicing our house. We originally had scheduled for a cleaning to have a smoke smell removed from prior renters and while they were here they brought other issues to our attention. Long story short, all issues were resolved in a professional and timely manner. Not only did they get the smell out of our house they provided us with vital information about what they did and why they did it. Also, they provided us with information to help us maintain the air ducts to prevent further issues. We will definitely be using their services again."
"I would highly recommend this company. Great people! Belinda (office), Tim, Matthew and Travis (sorry didn't catch the 4th worker's name) are such a pleasure to work with. The install of the compressor and air handler was only like 3 hours or so. I couldn't be happier with their service, dependability, communication through the tuff process of working with my home warranty company. Thank you all so much!! Deena Kramer"

Here’s the cost formula to find out how much it’ll cost you to run a window air conditioner in your home: Watts * (hours used) / 1,000 * (Local kWh) = daily cost of running a window unit.If you need help calculating the cost of running your window AC unit, consult an AC repair or installation pro for an accurate estimate.
Yes, mini-split or ductless AC systems add value to a home and do not devalue it. They are an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in older homes without existing ductwork, as they provide a practical air conditioning solution without the significant expense and hassle of installing traditional ducts. Ductless systems also eliminate issues associated with conventional ductwork, such as noise and the potential for pests. Furthermore, homeowners value energy-efficient solutions, and mini-splits offer high efficiency for both heating and cooling, plus zoned temperature control. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced electric bills, which is a major selling point.
It’s normal to hear a low humming sound as air moves through your vents. Most of the time, you probably won’t even notice it. However, if that sound becomes disruptive or if you hear more concerning noises (such as rattling, clicking, banging, hissing, or grinding), there might be a problem with your HVAC system.
It is possible to add air conditioning to an older home, but it can be very expensive to do so. Expect to pay anywhere from $6,000 to $17,000 or more for the ductwork and AC unit. You’ll also have to hack into the home’s walls and ceilings to add ductwork, which can impact the aesthetics of an old home.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, or ASHRAE, sets the standard guidelines for air changes per hour in homes and businesses. The International Residential Code, or IRC, also sets ACH requirements for residences and bases those requirements off of ASHRAE standards plus climate specifics related to your location.
