"Two visits and that's not our fault: Brian came, diagnosed the problem (capacitor if not blower died, and tune up). He was right: a new capacitor made it work well, until the old blower just refused to obey. Two days later we called and said that Brian was right: the blower needed replacement. Doing just the capacitor was our call to try to save money. Now our 20+ year old furnace runs like new. And I'll be calling them to replace our HVAC ('cuz it's 20+ years old) when it decides to give up the ghost."

"Hired to clean my dryer vent. I will say the tech who showed up was very nice and he even took his shoes off when he came in. He cleaned my vent from the outside in (which I thought was strange) because I was told he would do this**the technician will disconnect the vent from the dryer machine itself , and then from the inside-out he will clean the vent from lint and everything inside with specially designed equipment only for the dryer vent. If possible he will clean the outside of the vent as well ( If it is not too high in the air exit )** So he actually didn't disconnect the dryer from the inside first, he actually had it turned on while he cleaned it from the outside. 1. I could hear it running and 2. I could hear the alert it makes when it turns off). I could see everything blowing out and all over the place outside, also I heard a loud noise but then nothing so I figured it was just part of cleaning, about 10 minutes later the tech calls me downstairs, the dryer is now disconnected and he told me he found all these broken plastics pieces just inside the vent where the dryer connects. He has no Idea at all what happened or what the pieces are. I go upstairs and google and it looks like the blower wheel broke apart. The tech now reconnects the dryer and turns it on and it makes a loud noise, He says "maybe it's unbalanced" I mean really??! I mean maybe the piece would have broke anyway (dryer 8 years old) but at the very least admit it happened. He had the dryer on previously while he was cleaning and it sounded fine. So anyway I pay him because he did clean the vent, I want to pay CC , he suggests venmo, I say cc is fine , he says he'll have to charge me a percentage for fees, I told him I didn't care, so he goes to put thru card then all of a sudden says he just got a text and the system is down so I have to pay another way...Ok..LOL. So he leaves and I looks outside and there was Lint everywhere! I told him he didn't need to go crazy picking up every piece but he didn't pick up anything, All over my bushes, grass, blew up to my deck. The more I thought about it I decided to email the company with pictures, told I would hear back Tuesday. They wanted to send the tech back so I could explain what he didn't do?? then they gave me this explanation**** *** Technician said that he cleaned your dryer vent from both sides. From the inside - out and from the outside - in. When he touched the hose from the inside out , he found plastic pieces inside of the vent, which he reported right away to you . He believes that those pieces were from a dryer blower ( plastic blowers are rare and this probably means that it needs to be changed ) . Those pieces were already there , generally he doesn't touch the machine itself at all which means he couldn't cause those pieces to be there. As for the mess, he says that he picked up like 95% of it , but because it is kinda picky small stuff and the dryer vent was clogged a lot, so the smaller portion of it was probably blown by the wind around the bushes . He says also that you have seen him how he looked after that and he told you that because of that clogness the blower was putting too much force and probably got overheated and that caused those broken plastic pieces. That is what he said , if you want to have a word directly with him please let us know, or suggest what we should do. Thank you.**** I mean the plastic pieces were already there?? he cleaned up 95 percent?? and I'm the one who told the tech what I thought the pieces were!?? Honestly a manager/owner should take responsibility for his employees and not go back and forth with a customer. Also they state they are BBB accredited and they are not. I advise people to look elsewhere."

"I hired Capital Heating &Cooling for air duct cleaning. The technician, Garrett, was very friendly, explained everything he was going to do, and clean up was great. The one thing I didn’t like was the aggressiveness of their sales team. They continue to text, call, etc. until they hear from you."

"Very pleased with our new air conditioner installation. The salesman was very nice and explained everything to my satisfaction. The installers were efficient and knowledgeable as well. They showed up exactly on time and were finished earlier than I expected. Work areas were cleaned up, inside and out. Not even any metal shavings in the grass where the new ducting was cut. One of the nice gentlemen even explained the new thermostat they installed. I highly recommend Southport Home Services."

"Shane was able to schedule a prompt appointment. He arrived on time and performed a thorough diagnostic on the furnace. He identified an issue I was unaware of and corrected the problem with the air conditioner using parts that were still under warranty. I will gladly use his services again."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

You can buy R-22 refrigerant for your home air-conditioning system through your local AC repair specialist, who can also refill your R-22 system as needed. You may find that the cost of R-22 has gone up due to shortages as the EPA banned this refrigerant. Ask your pro to inspect your system for any leaks or issues.

No, it isn’t necessarily bad to turn your AC on and off frequently—contrary to popular belief. Even if you stop and start your AC throughout the day, it won’t use as much energy as it would if you ran it nonstop. 

If you’re concerned about your power consumption and energy costs, there are a few simple ways to use your AC more efficiently. Regularly cleaning the filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using a programmable thermostat are all great choices.

It’s not customary to tip HVAC technicians, and most professionals won’t expect it. However, it’s a nice way of showing your appreciation for the work they do, especially if they come out in inclement weather or on a weekend or holiday to fix an emergency issue if your heat or AC goes out in extreme temperatures. A good tip would be between 10% to 20% of the total bill, depending on how above and beyond the tech goes for your repair and on the total cost of your HVAC repair or service. For something like a routine tune-up or scheduled maintenance, tips aren’t expected.

Traditional central air conditioning systems require ductwork to circulate air throughout the home. Alternatively, you can add air conditioning with a mini-split ductless air conditioning system, which can be just as energy efficient as a central air conditioner. This type of system consists of two units–an outside unit that holds the compressor and condenser and an indoor unit that holds an air-handler. With multi-zone ductless systems, there are multiple indoor air handlers tied to a single outdoor compressor/condenser, allowing the system to cool multiple rooms.

The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season—spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.
