"Under new Ownership! I have known the owners personally for 20+ years and can attest that they are amazingly generous, kind, and selfless people. Last month, the HVAC went out in one of my rental homes. I was out of town, and Excel flawlessly completed the project on time and without any complications. My tenants were completely satisfied with the level of professionalism they demonstrated, and I found their pricing to be very reasonable. I'm switching my HVAC company to Excel because of my inside knowledge of who the owners are and the high level of reliability and integrity the possess. You can't go wrong with Excel!"

"Our heat stopped working on one of the coldest days this winter. We contacted Angel at Elemental and he was able to get to us the same day and get our heat working. He was professional & knowledgeable and we appreciated that he took care of us quickly and his fees are reasonable. We will be using him for all of our HVAC needs from now on."

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

Freon will go in the refrigerant lines near the back of your AC unit. Look for small ports with caps on a thin copper line—the Freon goes into those ports. You are best off hiring a licensed HVAC professional who can complete the job safely and correctly.

An HVAC unit, like a furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump, produces warm or hot air. The air ducts serve as the passages to help heat or cool air from the HVAC unit flow through the home. Air ducts are just one part of the overall HVAC system.

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. 

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.

The cost of R32 refrigerant is about the same as the cost of R410A refrigerant, the most widely available type of refrigerant today. However, R32 systems use about 20% less refrigerant than R410A systems, making the refrigerant less expensive overall.

Some HVAC systems tend to use R410A refrigerant, although if you have an older model it may be using R22. R22 is banned due to its harmful environmental and health impacts, and it is a sign that your AC unit is old enough to consider a replacement and the significant efficiency gains that could come with it.
