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.

Summertime HVAC Problems You May Encounter

As things heat up in Fredericksburg, we know the calls with residents having problems with their HVAC units will increase dramatically. In this article, Robert B Payne, Inc. looks at some of the HVAC problems you may encounter in the summertime.

HVAC Isn’t Cooling Right

A running HVAC that doesn’t properly cool your Fredericksburg home can indicate an airflow problem. The first place to start looking is at the return. When was the last time you changed your air filters? If it’s been a while, a clogged filter could be causing the problem.Make sure you also check your outside unit. To function optimally, your HVAC unit needs two feet of clearance all around. If you’ve got branches or debris closer than that, it could be obstructing airflow.

HVAC Won’t Turn On

The issue is usually related to the thermostat. It could be that it was set improperly or simply isn’t working. If looking over your thermostat settings doesn’t help, it may be time to replace your thermostat.

HVAC Is Making a Strange Noise

If your HVAC unit makes weird noises every time it starts up or shuts off, it’s something to look into. Believe it or not, the noise can often be a loosened screw. Once it’s tightened up, the sound will vanish. However, the excess noise could also be a sign of blower concerns. It’s best to call a trained professional if your HVAC unit is making strange sounds.

HVAC Stays on Too Long/Not Long Enough

The placement of your thermostat can ultimately determine how long your air conditioner runs over the summer. If the thermostat is in direct sunlight, it may continue running even after the rest of your home is an igloo. Changing the location of your thermostat can be a cost-effective way to improve the overall efficiency of your HVAC unit.
