"EXCELLENT. Needed this done ASAP with cold weather (and while we were out of town). Keith was super responsive - I trusted him with this install and defining the right equipment for us. VERY knowledgeable!! Team did GREAT work. Were super responsive to the one small complaint I had (didn't fill small hole in outside wall where AC piping went in, bummer for mice entry....). They offered to fix right away, but I had already. So far, very happy with American furnace that was installed!! Easy master controller to operate. Keith came over and reviewed equipment, install and operation as well as optimization points with us. VERY useful!!!!"

"This was my first time using Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning, and it was a fantastic experience. I received a phone call asking me if I wanted to schedule my annual air conditioning check, and when I said yes, the scheduler informed me that she could have a technician come out that day. The technician arrived within a couple of hours and did a thorough check. Everything checked out, and I am ready for the hot summer months."

"We called Eli when our old humidifier started leaking. He came out that day to take a look and recommended a new unit to replace it since it was 22 years old. He returned a few days later and installed the Aprilaire unit and it works like a dream. I would recommend Eli for all of your heating and air repairs."

"We hired Hopper to replace a a 19 yo central AC system. They suggested a solution that saved was 14.3% less than ordering new system from the manufacter. And more importantly they had it installed 2 days later. Hooper is a well establised company that has earned its good reputation."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

For washable or electrostatic air conditioner filters, you can soak and rinse them with water. If you rinse the filter with water, make sure to use a faucet, shower head, or garden hose with a gentle water pressure setting, as strong water pressure could damage the filter.

But for disposable filters, water could ruin the filter, even allowing mold to grow in the filter. Instead, these filters should be replaced.

Capacitors are the most frequent part of an HVAC system to experience failure. These components are crucial for starting the motors that power the fans and compressor, but over time, they may become worn or fail due to electrical surges or regular wear and tear. When capacitors malfunction, HVAC systems may experience decreased heating or cooling efficiency, or even total system failure. Replacement or maintenance of capacitors is a common requirement for the optimal functioning of HVAC systems.

Fixing a leak in an AC unit costs $200 to $1,600, depending on the type of leak and any related damage. But depending on the age and condition of your AC, it might make more sense to replace the AC unit instead of repairing it. If your AC is only a few years old and relatively problem-free, then repairing it is the right call. But if it’s nearing a decade old and has other issues, consider replacing it.

The cost to install a ductless mini-split AC system ranges from $2,000 to $14,000, depending on the type of unit, the number of zones or rooms, and the complexity of the installation. On the low end, a system for one or two zones in a single room costs around $2,000. Covering two zones for more rooms can cost between $6,000 and $8,000. For a larger multi-zone system to cover an entire home, costs can be $14,000. If you don’t already have an AC system in place, you may need to add the cost of permits, an electrician, and a concrete pad.

Your AC might not cool after a power outage because of a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or damage to the compressor or capacitor. If you notice your AC not working after a power outage, in most cases, the breaker has tripped or the system has built-in brownout and blackout protection. Reboot the AC by turning it off at the thermostat, resetting the circuit breaker, and waiting 30 minutes to turn the AC on again.
