"When Sears was the only match on my HVAC project, I knew I was in trouble. Sears did not even bother to contact me so I called the plumbing company C Woods out of Tyler to see if they did HVAC installs. They did! they came out the next day to give me a quote and was able to install the system the following week. I gave them 4 stars for the work quality because they did leave dirt smudges on the walls and scratched the wood near where the old unit had to come from. I have them 4 stars on value for money because while it was probably a fair price, I just thought it was a little pricey. Overall, I would rate them 5*. We've had a good amount of work done at our home - we recently purchased a 42 year old home and my guess is none of the plumbing had ever been updated. So far so good! They are pleasant to deal with and their office staff is top notch!"
"Jason did a great job in helping get my mom’s AC blowing cool air again. He explained the situation and the plan of action before starting any work. That was greatly appreciated!! Will recommend and hire again."
"Aaron is so knowledgeable in his field! His hard work & morals make his company a phenomenal & perfect choice good sent HVAC work. Frostbite will bring dedication, efficiency, & know how to every project!"
"What a relief! We just bought an older home and knew the ac/heating unit was older. Even in icy weather, the owner of the company made it to my house! Our heater is now working great and he took the time to rewire some things and install our new thermostat we had not put on yet. Thanks so much!"
"Ratliff does repairs on my airbnb-- Thorough. Knowledgeable. Reliable.-- These are the 3 words I'd use to describe my on-going experience calling on Tony to help fix things. He sees the details and scope of the need and easily gets it done. I've asked him to fix all kinds of things and I still haven't found something he's not able to do well. He is reliable to show up and get the job completed and communicates so that, although I'm miles away, I know what's going on with my house. I'm especially thankful for his positive attitude and eagerness as well."
"Sean did a great job. He explained what he was going to do, and he put a great deal of time and effort into cleaning our extremely pet dirty carpet and furniture. We will definitely hire him again."
"shon was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. He did a wonderful job and he steadily worked to resolve my issues. He also installed a porch light for me. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely continue to use his services."
Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts
Here’s how AC professionals will clean your AC coils:
Unplug the AC unit or turn off the breaker to the unit in your circuit breaker box.
Remove the faceplate.
Spray a vacuum hose attachment or compressed air can to remove debris, dust, dirt, and grime.
Use a soft-bristled fin comb to remove stubborn caked-on debris.
Use the vacuum hose to suck up any extra debris.
Take a coil-safe cleaning solution and spray it onto the coils. Try to choose a no-rinse solution.
Let the solution sit for at least 15 minutes.
Gently wipe away loosened grime and debris with a microfiber cloth.
Reattach the faceplate, plug in your AC system, or turn the breaker back on.
They can, but it’s not as common. Window AC units are much smaller than whole-house systems and less likely to develop refrigerant leaks or similar issues. As a result, you will rarely need to add a new refrigerant, limiting overcharging problems. However, it’s still important to leave refrigerant management in the hands of professionals when window units need work.
NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification is not legally required for HVAC technicians in most areas, but hiring a professional with this certification is highly recommended. NATE-certified technicians demonstrated their expertise and proficiency in different types of HVAC systems, offering assurance of quality service. It's a voluntary certification, yet it indicates a commitment to professionalism and ongoing training. Choosing a NATE-certified technician often means you're working with someone who is up-to-date on industry standards and best practices, which can lead to better service, energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings.
The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season—spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.
Indications of an HVAC problem include inconsistent heating or cooling throughout your home, unpredictable temperature changes, or inadequate air flow from vents. Abnormal sounds such as grinding, banging, or hissing, and unpleasant smells like mustiness or burning are also potential warning signs. A rise in energy costs without an increase in usage may also imply decreased efficiency. An HVAC system that frequently cycles on and off or cannot maintain a stable temperature is malfunctioning.
