"Taylor came out the same day my AC stopped working. In this heat the thought of going all day was not pleasant. He was polite, vey professional, knew his business, and did above and beyond what we needed at the time. (Replaced our filter and gave us ideas how to eliminate the moisture in the attic). Even though we have a full inspection of our unit in September he checked all the pipes, pressures, and made sure when he left we would remain comfortable in our house. He was great, hope he comes back."
"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."
"As far as I know they did great work. I could not watch everything since it involved climbing. After the installation it became difficult to get they to finish all the detail associated with the complete job, i.e., setting up phone access (per agreement) and repairing something unrelated to the AC project, though it was part of the overall agreement. Still, I would give them 5 stars with reservations. I am still waiting for them to complete the job."
"The technician was a rather young man, however, as he explained his work to me also outlining the costs involved it was evident to me that he was well educated in electrical circuits. His experience was also evident in how fast and neatly he completed his work. I would recommend this company to my friends."
"Green Quality Air provides excellent service. They did such a good job cleaning and repairing our fireplace that we also had them clean out our dryer vent that goes up two stories. Chris and Leslie are professional and thorough. Highly recommend!"

"They did great work, dependable, took the time to honestly discuss things with me. They went out of their way to help. Both the dad and the son, in fact the entire family. Very personable people, and would recommend them highly"
"He did a great job good pricing i need to do some adjustments but that is for me to finish up. I will hire him to come back for more jobs or more seasonal lighting that I need."
"Heinz provided us with a detailed, scaled, drawing of his plan for the project. After listening to our ideas he redrew the bench; we agreed on the style and he built what we wanted."
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
While 72 degrees is a comfortable setting for many people, it’s likely not the most efficient temperature setting for your air conditioning unit. By pushing the temperature up to 75 or 78 degrees, you stand to save money on your energy bill. That said, these temperatures may be too warm to be comfortable for some people and are definitely too warm for most people to sleep comfortably.
No, it's not advisable to only replace the outside AC unit connected to your system. AC units are designed to work as a cohesive system, and older units work differently than newer units. Therefore, replacing only one component can lead to incompatibilities that affect the system’s performance. Replacing one component can void your warranty, costing you money for repairs.
It depends on the specifics of your warranty. The motor is likely not covered if you’re working with a limited warranty. The same goes for other components like the compressor and evaporator coil. Some extended warranties will cover the blower and fan motor, so read the fine print before signing up. Additionally, the manufacturer may offer a warranty for the parts, including the motor, though there’s likely to be a strict time limit for this coverage.
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.
In some cases, yes, portable air conditioners are worth buying. They’re a relatively affordable option for cooling small spaces. (On average, they cost between $100 and $500 per unit.) Plus, they’re easy to set up, and you can move them around to cool various parts of your home as needed. However, they aren’t the most efficient AC option, and they tend to be noisy.
