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.

The Basics of Geothermal Cooling

Are you considering investing your money in a geothermal cooling system?

Excellent choice!

Before you make any decisions, you need some basic information. First of all: what is a geothermal cooling system? Essentially, it is a central HVAC system that transfers heat to and from the ground. So, geothermal systems use the ground or groundwater as a heat source, or sink. This means that geothermal systems typically use anywhere from 25% to 50% less electricity than other heating & cooling systems.

Environmental Benefits

There are also several beneficial environmental benefits to cooling your home using geothermal energy. In fact, geothermal energy is recognized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as being the most environmentally safe heating and cooling system out there!

Why? For one thing, the rate of CO2 emissions is almost nonexistent, especially when compared with that of coal and other types of fossil fuels. In addition, the footprint for extracting geothermal energy is relatively small.

Both geothermal heating and cooling systems are big-time money and energy savers in the long run, particularly if you plan to be in your home for at least ten years or more. These systems have a much longer shelf life than their counterpart heating & cooling systems, they’re incredibly energy-efficient. As a bonus, you may even qualify for a 30% federal tax credit when you install a geothermal system in your home!
