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.

New HVAC Technology: What to Know about WiFi Thermostats

Space ships going to other galaxies! Time travel! WiFi Thermostats!

Of these three futuristic things, one of them is real. That’s right, WiFi thermostats are new on the market and you should know what all they can do! Let’s talk about their capabilities and why they’re awesome to have in your home.

Control the Temp From an App

A lot of the WiFi thermostats on the market these days have an associated app that you can download on your smartphone. This comes in extremely handy, if you’re coming back from a vacation. Let’s say that you’ve set the temperature in your home to be really low – to save money on your bills when you’re away. However, when you’re about half an hour away you can turn on your smartphone, open the app, and bump up the temperature in your home. That way, your home is cozy and comfortable by the time you finally arrive.

Set a Schedule

On your app, you can also put together a schedule. This does the automatic adjusting for you. Let’s say you leave the house at 9 a.m. and get home around 6 p.m. You can set a schedule for your air conditioning unit to lower the temperature at 9 exactly and to start heating up your home around 5:30 p.m.

The Ultimate Benefit of a WiFi Thermostat

The best thing about this new HVAC technology is that is really works for you and your schedule. You adjust it from your phone to be the right temp for you at the right time. It’s the ultimate tool in customizing your home’s comfort. Call the Robert B. Payne, Inc. team to get information on WiFi thermostats: 540-373-5876.
