"My AC failed and I had limited time to find a good solution, I made a phone call to Relax HVAC based on the online reviews and it was a great decision. Nasser came to check the situation, he gave a very detailed and comprehensive overview of the situation and provided with the options I had. I decided to replace the unit, Nasser went above and beyond to find a unit delivery service but there was nothing available over the weekend so this gentleman went for unit pick up himself and finished the installation within a day from my initial call. Moreover, the provided price was very reasonable.I can't be more happy with the outcome and highly recommend Relax HVAC"

"I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional service provided by Air Quality HVAC LLC, specifically their technician Jay Vardhan. In the midst of a chilly evening with temperatures plummeting into the 30s, my nearly 20-year-old Lennox HVAC system decided to stop heating. Having dealt with major HVAC service companies in the past, where the experience often felt like a battle of wits against deceptive practices, I approached this situation with a sense of trepidation. Upon the recommendation of a neighbor, I decided to reach out to Amar from Air Quality HVAC LLC. To my relief, Jay Vardhan was dispatched to my home within an hour, accompanied by a reasonable service fee. From the moment Jay stepped into my home, it was evident that he was not your average technician. Jay's professionalism, technical competence, and, above all, his honesty, set him apart from the rest. Unlike previous encounters with other companies, Jay took the time to methodically run checks on my HVAC system, explaining each step of the process with clarity and patience. His knowledge was not only evident but also accompanied by a genuine desire to educate and inform rather than exploit. What truly stood out was Jay's honesty and transparency. He provided insights into potential issues and presented a range of options without any hint of upselling or deceit. It was like having a conversation with a trusted friend or family member who genuinely had your best interests at heart. The issue with my HVAC system turned out to be a tripped limit switch, and Jay, with his commendable patience, navigated the challenging design of the Lennox system to reset it and restore functionality. The level of dedication and commitment displayed by Jay was truly commendable. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jay Vardhan and Amar from Air Quality HVAC LLC for providing a service that goes beyond the norm. In an industry where honesty and integrity have become rare commodities, encountering professionals like Jay is a refreshing and reassuring experience. The work was done efficiently, and my trust in HVAC technicians has been restored. I wholeheartedly recommend Air Quality HVAC LLC for their exceptional service and commitment to honesty in an industry where it is often lacking."

"Joe and his team were fantastic in replacing our old HVAC Units. I really appreciated Joe’s willingness to hop on the phone with me whenever I had questions about the estimate or the work being done. He was very patient and never overbearing. The work was done correctly and quickly. The price was competitive compared to other quotes I received. I even had to call Joe a year after the work had been done to pick his brain about an attic renovation that might have had some impact on the HVAC system. Even though the question wasn’t going to lead to any more business for Polar Bear, Joe took the time to answer my questions about the potential impact of the renovation on the HVAC system. Truly appreciated his high level of customer service! Would definitely use Polar Bear again!"

"McCrea replaced a 20 year old HVAC system with a new Trane 4-ton XL16i condenser, XV80 furnace and new coils. The salesman, Mark, was very responsive to my request for quote changes or additional items, including financing options. He was very knowledgeable and patient through the entire process as I worked with other companies for competing quotes. As a result of Mark’s recommendations and excellent pricing, I added on a new Aprilaire 1210 filter box (including replacing a portion of the return duct work/box) and an Aprilaire 600M whole house humidifier. I was able to schedule install four days after signing the contract. The installers, Charles and Christian, arrived on time and removed the old and installed the new in about 7 hours. They provided an overview of system operation and cleaned up so well, you couldn’t tell that a significant installation had occurred. I would recommend McCrea, especially Mark, Charles, and Christian to anyone...they were professional and did an excellent job. My home is so much more comfortable with a system that will be better on the summer and winter utility bills."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Yes, a dirty evaporator coil can freeze up. Dirty evaporator coils can’t absorb or transfer heat properly. The dirt and grime restrict airflow, which is needed to move heat throughout the system properly. Your air conditioning unit could freeze over, or it can cause your heat pump to freeze.

To find a reputable HVAC company, start by researching providers in your area. Look for companies with mostly positive online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau’s website for customer complaints. Next, verify their credentials. Rule out any companies that aren’t licensed, as this is a requirement in some states and municipalities, and confirm they are insured. Once you have a shortlist, contact each professional to ask key questions: How many years of experience do you have? Do you hold any third-party certifications? Do you have experience working on my specific type of HVAC system or brand? Can you provide references? What is your per-hour pricing? Do you offer maintenance contracts for ongoing savings? Do you provide a warranty for your work?

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

Here’s how AC professionals will clean your AC coils:

  1. Unplug the AC unit or turn off the breaker to the unit in your circuit breaker box.

  2. Remove the faceplate.

  3. Spray a vacuum hose attachment or compressed air can to remove debris, dust, dirt, and grime.

  4. Use a soft-bristled fin comb to remove stubborn caked-on debris.

  5. Use the vacuum hose to suck up any extra debris.

  6. Take a coil-safe cleaning solution and spray it onto the coils. Try to choose a no-rinse solution.

  7. Let the solution sit for at least 15 minutes.

  8. Gently wipe away loosened grime and debris with a microfiber cloth.

  9. Reattach the faceplate, plug in your AC system, or turn the breaker back on.

This depends on the extent of the freezing. Some ACs only need an hour or two to thaw out, but others may need a full day to completely unfreeze. Once you turn off the system to let it unfreeze, check it periodically to make sure the drain pan doesn’t overflow. When you turn the system back on, keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t start freezing again.
