Does my HVAC technician have to be NATE certified?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-types-of-HVAC-systems.htm">different types of HVAC systems</a>, 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. </p></div>

Do HVAC companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Some states require special licenses for HVAC professionals, but most don’t. However, even if there is no state requirement for HVAC licensing, local requirements might exist. It’s always a good idea to check if HVAC technicians need to be licensed in your area and then Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor license lookup tool</a> to confirm that the contractor you’re hiring holds the necessary licenses. Additionally, you should always ensure the company you’re hiring is fully insured to avoid potential lawsuits if a technician gets injured on your property.</p></div>

How much do HVAC companies charge?

• <div><p>HVAC technicians charge around <b>$175 per hour</b>, but anywhere between <b>$100 and $250 per hour</b> isn’t uncommon. The total cost of your HVAC service depends on the type of work, the type of system, and more. Here are some important cost factors to consider to get accurate pricing:</p><ul><li><p>Time of year</p></li><li><p>Urgency of your repair or service</p></li><li><p>Type of system </p></li><li><p>Type of repair you need</p></li><li><p>Whether or not you have a service contract</p></li><li><p>Size of your HVAC system</p></li><li><p>Brand of HVAC equipment </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How can I tell if an AC vent is blocked?

• <div><p>A blockage in the ductwork may prevent air from flowing through the vent. If some rooms in your home are very hot or cold and another isn't, that can be a sign that a vent is blocked. Another sign of a blockage is a buildup of dirt or dust around the vent. In either case, a duct installer or cleaning service can investigate the issue for you and recommend a course of action.</p></div>

Q: How do I reduce heat in my upstairs rooms?

• <div><p>The best way to reduce heat upstairs is to release it by opening a window. Hot air rises, and if you can create some airflow by opening a window upstairs and also one on a lower level, the hot air should be pushed out of the home. Remember that fans pointing out the window do a much better job of circulating air than fans pointing into the home.</p></div>

"I delayed writing this review to give Anderson A/C ample time to deliver the high-quality work I expected. A brand new system was installed, but a series of issues followed upon completion of the project. First, the dehumidifier didn?t work due to an improper wire connection. Then, the A/C unit began dripping water into the emergency drain pan because of a misconnected drain pipe. Later, the P-trap started leaking water into the attic. The quality of Anderson A/C?s workmanship declined quickly?and unfortunately, so did their reputation in my eyes. The staff were friendly, which is why I?m giving them 3 stars instead of just one."
