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.

I have bad allergies. What can help improve the air in my house?

Payne, Inc. offers indoor air quality assessments and installation services such as Air Scrubber and Reme Halo systems which work to keep the air you breathe as healthy and pure as possible!

End of Winter HVAC Maintenance Checklist

If you’re looking forward to the warmer weather that spring brings, you aren’t alone. This is one of the most beautiful times of the year, and you are sure to enjoy lower energy bills for a while. However, in order to keep your HVAC in the shape to provide optimal year-round performance, you will need to do some end of winter maintenance. Fully understanding the tasks that must be completed can help you keep your unit in tip-top condition.

Change the Filters

Preparing for a new season of the year is an ideal time to change the air filter. This inexpensive item can render you significant savings on your electric bill. When the filter becomes overly dirty or clogged, it won’t allow your HVAC unit to operate as efficiently as it should.

It’s highly recommended by HVAC experts to put in a new air filter at least once every three months.

Check the Condensation Bin

One HVAC maintenance task you will want to accomplish at the end of winter is checking the condensation bin. This item is located in the outside unit, and it’s on the underneath portion of your HVAC system. It’s important to see if there is enough moisture in the bin, but not too much. If there is an overflow of water, you may need to have an HVAC professional examine the cause of this for you.
