"Technician Jim was not impressive. Was not confident when answering the questions I asked. Very contradicting.. Tried to sell product for items that were not even in need of repair. Spoke negatively about the company and made excuses as to why he could not perform his job due to lack of information from dispatch or technician manager. Said he would follow up, I never heard from him. Blessing to me, I decided to go with another HVAC company. I typically would not put names out there, but please be careful if you get this gentleman as a technician."

"updated review Reconsider other options. Had a $27,700 furnace/heat pump installed 3 months ago (they were going to install one less zone then quoted until i showed them their quote and then they did not leave a start up sheet as requested) and first time turning on ac and heated air came out. Requested start up sheet again and it states cooling was tested which at least that section - apparently was a complete lie – RETROACTIVE FALSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTATION. Called for service for next time off 5 days later and was required to be on call with 20minutes notice for the entire day – “typical cardinal procedure” (Jasmine – “we give you 20 minutes notice so not to inconvenience you) till 230pm – which after much side stepping Andy finally admitted that customers to be oncall was not in the contract, after repeated request s for on call documentation and Andy’s intial reply that i would be “talked to” by a tech when they arrived. Jasmine said it was emergency repair for a system that should have been installed correctly but was not able to schedule after hours – then could but would charge. Requested at least a 2 hour window for tech to show up but was refused. Ian D. showed up and stated wires/switch were not installed correctly – surprise – never even tested (no wonder a start up sheet was not left at install) – and “never should of happened.” Asked why I had to be on call to compensate for mis-install – ‘I am not the scheduling department.’ Ask Ian to fill out a diagnostic repair sheet (22words) said he had to leave and had an important phone call and was not suppose to even be on service call that I was waiting for on call, for the entire day. Ian did return 15min later since his phone call was canceled. Asked for a quote to install my uv light (drill 4 holes and plug into outlet) $287. Maybe you don’t have a job and can be on call for free 24/7, spend more than 28k, and only expect half of the things to work, be blatantly lied to and only care of your beliefs in fair pricing and professionalism – then I could recommend cardinal – so far."

"Dave was very prompt about scheduling an appointment to meet with us about our electrical work. We had to run 240V out to a detached garage and then install an EV charger. He was very good about following up with us at every step and even told us when he was running late so that we didn't have to be concerned about when he was going to arrive. The electrical work was of excellent quality and the price was definitely reasonable. We will call Dave again when we have electrical work to be done and have already recommended him to neighbors."

Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.
While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.
The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.
Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
