We agreed to the price and the windows were in when they said and their \"excellent\" crew showed up on time worked like a well oiled machine in 95 degree heat and high humidity. The crew,(Wes,Richie,Alberto and Willie) were very considerate and kept extremely clean as they worked. They had all the work done in two days.

SAD, Anyway, when I pick up my car the door is partially open draining my battery. Not a good start. Once home I discover they did not even rotate my tires.

Gary was excellent to work with. He made the process of removing old oil from an underground, leaking oil tank easy. Everything was handled in a timely manner. I highly recommend Gary and the team at Certified Environmental Drilling.

As usual, Albemarle Heating & Air earn good marks for their service. Typical of all service techs that have serviced our heat pump, Scott called before arriving at the scheduled time, alerted us to a potential problem, offered solutions, provided clear explanations, and was very courteous. We...
They quickly responded to our service request. The service person was knowledgeable and courteous. We highly recommend this provider and will call on them again for our heating and A/C needs.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look into Air Nerds as your last stop in searching for the right HVAC contractor. The owner, James Martin is a 3rd generation HVAC nerd. His father would take him on jobs when he was a kid and tear the work down - making James redo it if it was incorrect. Even in crawl spaces, where no one would see the work. Air Nerds believes in putting ourselves in the shoes of the homeowner who pays the bills. The owner's father taught him the value of honesty and hard work over high-pressure sales and rip-offs. When you choose Air Nerds you can rest assured that our highly skilled team of certified HVAC nerds will enter your home carrying tools and the same principles of business.
"I called James on Monday, he came out, diagnosed and removed the gas valve from my 21 year old furnace. While diagnosing he explained how and why everything worked. He offered to loan me a couple of space heaters for the night. I declined as I had my own. He came back Tuesday with a new valve and I have heat again. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He takes pride in his work. If I have any HVAC issues in the future Air Nerds will be the first place I call."

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts
There are several common types of HVAC systems that you may have, including split systems, hybrid HVAC, duct-free systems, packaged heating and air, geothermal heating, or even portable units for heating or cooling. If you aren’t sure which type is in your home or are looking to install something different, you should consult an HVAC pro to determine which option is right for your heating and cooling needs.
Service costs range from $200 to $1,500, depending on maintenance needs, system age, and labor.
You can expect a geothermal system to last for years. According to the Department of Energy, the underground infrastructure for the heat pumps lasts about 25 to 50 years, which includes the pipes buried in the soil. The actual heat pump itself has a life span of around 25 years.
An evaporator or swamp cooler is a common alternative for small spaces. These coolers blow moist air into a space to help cool it down. They are more affordable than misters and use much less water. However, coolers will not have the same cooling effect as misters, cannot help plants survive the heat, and only reach a small area.
It’s a better use of energy (and your money) NOT to run an ERV system all the time. Most experts recommend that you cycle your ERV system on and off throughout the year. However, the recommended advice could change based on your climate, the number of people in your home, the size and style of your home, and your heating and cooling system. Contact a local pro for more specific advice.
