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.

It’s Time for Your Seasonal Tune-Up

A seasonal tune-up on your air conditioner is extremely beneficial. Helping you lower your energy bill and avoid expensive repairs, this service makes your system more reliable and energy efficient. Robert B. Payne, Inc. wants you to enjoy these benefits associated with an annual tune-up.

Lower Energy Bills

With a seasonal AC tune-up, air conditioners retain up to 95% of their efficiency ratings. During your seasonal inspection, our technician will tighten connections, lubricate any moving parts, and renew your refrigerant (or Freon) levels to keep your system energy efficient. Experts estimate that you will lower your utility bills by up to 30% when you have your system cleaned, lubricated, and tuned-up on a seasonal basis.

Avoid Costly Repairs

When a system has a minor problem like a low coolant level, it will work harder as it struggles to cool the house.
The constant strain wears down components faster and leads to costly air conditioner repairs.
Dirty coils cause the system to overheat, leading to mechanical failure and premature breakdown.

Invest in annual tune-ups to ensure that your system is functioning properly. You will also be able to correct problems quickly and keep any required repair bills to a minimum.

Ensure Comfort in a Heat Wave

When the temperature starts rising as spring and summer blow in, your system will begin to struggle. If it’s in poor condition already, this is when your air conditioner is most likely to fail. Ensure your comfort when the heat arrives by investing in maintenance while the weather is still mild.

Keep the System Longer

With timely air conditioner repair and maintenance, your system will last longer. It is estimated that a complete system replacement is 70% more likely when an air conditioner has not had annual tune-ups and maintenance. The average lifespan of air conditioners is 10 to 15 years, and annual tune-ups will make the difference between a unit that dies at the 10-year mark and one that is still running strong after more than 15 years.

When you invest in regular AC maintenance from a local Fredericksburg air conditioning company, you will improve the comfort of your home and ensure a stable temperature.
