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.

3 Tips for Cleaner Indoor Air

Did you know that many Americans have worse indoor air quality in their home than outdoors? Allergies, asthma, and many other respiratory issues can be aggravated by dirty and dusty air. Robert B. Payne, Inc. wants our customers to be informed about how to get cleaner indoor air and have a better quality of life. Here are a few simple tips on how you can get cleaner indoor air.

1) Change Your Air Filter

One of the easiest ways to have cleaner indoor air is to regularly change your HVAC air filter. Many homeowners don’t know exactly how often to change it. If you use your HVAC system continuously, it is recommended that you change out your filter on a quarterly or seasonal basis. If your use is sporadic, twice a year is optimal. If you start to notice an increase in allergy symptoms, you may want to switch it out a bit earlier. To remember when to switch it out, mark a day on your calendar in advance every three months.

2) Use an Air Purifier

There are many air purifiers on the market that can clean the dust, dirt, and dander out of your indoor air. Many people with severe allergies sing their praises as making a big difference.

3) Maintain Your System

Keeping your heating and cooling system maintained is a great way to keep your air clean. If you get regular maintenance performed by a professional contractor, they will be able to tell you if your filter needs to be replaced, or if your ducts need a cleaning. Keeping your airflow continuous will also prevent dust from accumulating in the duct system.
