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 Amazing Benefits of Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are quickly becoming the most popular way to heat (and cool) homes across America. They are incredibly efficient, convenient, and eco-friendly which makes them a sought after addition to any home.

1. Heating

As the name implies, the most common use of a heat pump is for heating. They are highly efficient at quickly heating a home. There are many different types of heat pumps that can fit any budget.

2. Cooling

A heat pump is actually able to cool a home as well using “reverse cycle” technology. The pump can pump warm air from inside your home to the outside, thereby cooling the home. A heat pump can replace a heater and an air conditioner, which makes it a great fit for houses with a smaller square footage.

3. Convenience

A heat pump works like many climate control systems. You can set a specific temperature you would like, and your heat pump maintains that temperature with ease. Balancing the air in and out, there is no need for any addition fuel to be added such as gas or wood.

4. Safety

There are no hot surfaces on a heat pump, which makes them safer for families with kids or pets. They also can be safely left on during sleep or when you are away from the house. They also improve the air quality in your home, especially if you are using a wood heater which allows soot and dirt to become suspended in the air.

5. Efficiency

Heat pumps are extremely energy efficient. Some homeowners saw a 30-40% reduction in energy costs from heating and cooling resulting in some big annual savings.
