How much does it cost to have air conditioning installed?

Air conditioning installation price varies. One of the primary costs will be for the unit itself. Our technicians also have the ability to modify ductwork in case it is needed. We will also charge an installation fee that varies depending on how many installation parts we use, and how much time it takes to do the job. But no matter what, we will give you a written firm proposal in advance, before we start the work, guarantee the price, and guarantee the work!

Which air conditioning brand do you guys recommend?

We supply and install Trane and Mitsubishi units with financing available. When selecting a unit, our team will provide specific recommendations based on your family's needs, energy efficiency requirements, and overall budget. We are proud to be Trane Comfort Specialists and Mitsubishi Elite Diamond Contractors.

How much should it cost to convert from a traditional to tankless hot water heater?

Tankless water heaters are often more costly to install than traditional tank water heaters. However, the overall cost for installing a tankless hot water heater will vary depending on your existing plumbing and the cost and capacity of the unit itself. Tankless hot water heaters are a great option for new builds and when easy accessibility and venting are available. Annual maintenance for your new tankless water heater is vital to keep it functioning properly!

Can you repair any brand of water heater?

Yes! We are experienced in water heater repairs with most makes and models of water heaters. Whether you have a traditional tank water heater or a tankless unit, our reputable professionals are highly capable of fixing any problem you might have with your hot water unit. As long as the parts available, we offer repairs for most water heater brands. If your water heater is over eight years old, parts aren’t readily available, or repairs will cost over $800, we may recommend installing a new unit for the most cost-effective option.

How Energy Efficient is a Geothermal Heat Pump?

If you’re considering a geothermal heat pump for your home’s future heating needs, all we can say is this, DO IT! This new method for heating homes is extremely efficient. Let’s discuss why that is and you might be sold by the end of this post!

How is It Energy Efficient?

A geothermal heat pump is extremely energy efficient because it uses the power of the Earth’s consistent temperature to heat and cool your home. In short, a geothermal heat pump is installed in your home and pipes run down into the ground, about 20 feet below. At this depth, the Earth’s temperature does not change. It could be snowing up on surface level, but 20 feet down, it stays a constant 60-70 degrees.

A heat pump doesn’t have to use a ton of fuel to heat up water. Instead, the water that runs through radiators and baseboard heaters was actually just run through the pipes at that preexisting temperature that already is in place beneath the ground level. There is not a lot of extra work to be done in this process, meaning there is not a lot of energy used to do it.

Make the Switch, Save Energy

Your home, when being heated by a geothermal heat pump, isn’t burning a ton a fuel just to keep your home a consistent temperature. Instead, it is using the already consistent temperature underground to its advantage. Just by running water through these pipes underground, homes are able to stay warm due to geothermal methods. It’s a win for you and for the Earth.

Let Robert B. Payne, Inc. help you make the switch to a geothermal heat pump or a geothermal cooling system. Energy efficiency isn’t a futuristic concept anymore. It’s here and now! 540-373-5876
