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.

5 Advantages of Trane Heating and Cooling Systems

If you’ve heard Trane’s slogan once, you’ve heard it a million times: “It’s hard to stop a Trane.” But do the products back up their claim? At Robert B. Payne, we’re proud to carry Trane furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps for many reasons, including reliability, innovation, and delivering excellent value for our customers.

But the benefits don’t just stop there. Here are five advantages of Trane heating and cooling systems, and why you should consider one for your home.

History and reputation

At Robert B. Payne, Inc., we know it means for a company to stand the test of time – we’ve been in business since 1930, after all. Likewise, Trane has a long, impressive history dating back to 1885. They were pioneers in putting air conditioning into homes, and they continue to innovate and offer some of the best HVAC technology in the industry.

Durable to the extreme

In order to make sure their heating and cooling systems are ready to perform under any and all conditions, they put their products through rigorous testing. One of their tests includes blasting the equipment with alternating cold and hot temperatures for 16 weeks. Another test is covering a unit in ice to make sure it still operates.

Some of their units have gone through 2,600 hours (that’s over 108 days) of nonstop testing. If the systems can hold up in those harsh conditions, you can be sure they’ll be reliable in your home.

Taking pride in every part

One aspect we really appreciate is the fact that Trane designs, tests, and produces all of their own parts – not sourcing them from other manufacturers. As a certified Trane Comfort Specialist, we see how this quality control delivers the best performance and value for our customers.

Quiet operation

Trane understands that comfort in your home isn’t just about temperature – it’s also about sound. That’s why they engineer their heating and cooling systems to run as quietly as possible.

Rankings and recognition

As an informed shopper, you probably research and look up reviews on almost everything you buy. So you’ll be happy to know that Trane has been named America’s Most Trusted® HVAC Brand by Lifestory Research for five years in a row – that’s 2015 through 2019. Reviews don’t get much better than that.

If you’re in the market for a new heating or cooling system, you can’t go wrong with Trane. At Robert B. Payne, Inc., we’re honored to be a Trane Comfort Specialist and offer the highest-quality installation and service of Trane products to the Fredricksburg area.
