"Daniel is always on time and calls to let us know that he is on his way. He is efficient friendly and very professional. We have been using Short Pump Heating and Air since they installed our Carrier furnace and Daniel was part of the installation team. We couldn't ask for a better combination."

"On July 30, 2025 (30-31) Chris and Gibson installed Mainline/Tosot Multi zone mini split unit, 3 zones. Chip Young came out, and we discussed the best areas to place the 3 units indoors. I’d heard positive reviews of mini splits and their performance but remained doubtful. However, it is remarkably impressive. Wonderful individuals who are friendly and approachable. I’m delighted with their service. Something I like to bring up is the big box store’s $6000.00 higher price. Mini splits become more affordable with the right installers. Paying with cash got me a significant discount. They handled both equipment delivery and installation. My house has lacked heat and air conditioning for 3 decades. My living situation is luxurious because of Taylor Heating and Air. Great people and great service. You can’t go wrong; they even called me to make sure all went well. I suggest you avoid calling others; it’s not worth the risk. Great job, thank you."

"* Technician was knowledgeable * Office appeared disorganized. I did not receive invoices for any work done. I called the office and was able to get them emailed to me. I did not receive a promised call back for service requested. I called them after waiting 2 days. Service was very polite and I could tell they were trying to help. Maybe new staff? * It was painful to pay $695 just to find out I needed to replace the evaporator coil. Granted, this price included 3 pounds of refrigerant. They charge a flat $362 for the leak search regardless of how long it takes. This may be standard practice at all places, however. * The quote to replace the coil seemed way out of the average range. According to the website airconditionerprice.com this should run somewhere between $650 and $1200 based on your region. The quote was $1671. I found a provider on this website with high reviews that did it for $800."

"Total Comfort Heating, Air and Plumbing receives a 5-star rating from us. They installed a new AC promptly the next day, just in time for the summer heat. The staff was friendly, nice, and courteous. Nathan and Charlie were awesome, and the AC installers were skilled. We will continue to use Total Comfort Heating, Air and Plumbing and highly recommend them!"

Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

During the summer, it’s best to set your AC to 78 degrees when you’re home and awake, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). For better energy efficiency, raise the temperature slightly to 85 degrees while you’re out of the house. The National Sleep Foundation advises lowering your thermostat to between 60 and 67 degrees when you’re asleep.

Most HVAC surge protectors last about three to five years, depending on how often your home experiences blackouts or brownouts. If your unit is susceptible to more frequent electrical surges, consider replacing your surge protector every two years. Consult your HVAC professional to determine when and how often to replace your HVAC surge protectors.

There are plenty of different not-so-great sounds to hear from your air conditioning unit, like squealing, grinding, water running, excessive gurgling, banging, and clanking. Each of these sounds can indicate a different malfunction with your unit, so it’s important to have a professional assess the problem before it gets worse.

As mentioned above, not all HVAC Schrader valves are necessarily the same. While the valve core and pin or spring size on Schrader valves used for HVAC are generally similar, the valves are not all universal and interchangeable. The size of Schrader valves varies depending on whether it's used in an air conditioner, bicycle tire, or motor vehicle tire.

Set your house temperature between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit while on vacation, depending on the season. If it’s winter, don’t go below 55 degrees. In the summer, the best AC temperature for energy savings is no higher than 85 degrees. You can save anywhere from 10% to 15% on your energy costs by adjusting the temperature while you’re away. If you have a smart thermostat, set up vacation modes for each season. On your way home, turn off vacation mode to allow the home to warm up or cool down before you arrive.
