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.

Everything You Need to Know About Ductless HVAC Systems

Living comfortably without a heating or air conditioning system is near impossible these days. The constant changes to our local weather can make life uncomfortable. You need to come home and find a cozy, welcoming environment. But what happens if you’re out of space? When you have a home or business with limited space, then installing a brand-new HVAC system may be unlikely. So what are your options? Well, a ductless HVAC system is a go-to choice for just such situations.

The Basics of Ductless HVAC Systems

A ductless HVAC system (also known as a mini-split system) is more compact and easier to professionally install than a traditional central heating and cooling system. However, they provide the same level of power and efficiency that a full duct system delivers. That’s welcome news!

So to begin, a ductless system is installed in two sets. The first is an outdoor component, which includes a cabinet and the primary system equipment. This includes a condenser, compressor, and evaporator. Typically, this cabinet requires little space – about as much as your standard heat pump.

Then, we have the indoor unit. An indoor unit connects directly to the outdoor cabinet via cables, refrigerant lines, and drainage pipes via a conduit in the wall. The conduit requires a relatively small hole – only 2 inches in diameter – that leads outdoors. Overall, it’s a minimalist system that works without sacrificing power or efficiency.

Benefits of Ductless HVAC Systems

Before making a purchase, you’re most likely interested in learning the advantages a ductless HVAC system can provide for your home, right? OK, we’re right there with you. Let’s take a look at the benefits…

Efficiency – A ductless system is just as energy-efficient as a larger ductwork system. Often, these systems work better than a full-sized unit, where energy loss is a concern.
Monthly Savings – Everyone enjoys monthly savings. Well, a ductless system provides significant savings of up to 30 percent or more per month.
Zoning – Being completely ductless and more compact, you have further zoning options for indoor units. One unit can be installed in a new renovation, for example.
Quiet – There’s already too much noise in your home, right? A ductless HVAC system will not add to the noise level. Such units operate quietly while distributing air throughout the home. The “noisy” components are within the outdoor cabinet, where they are still relatively quiet.
Installation – We always recommend professional HVAC installation. However, know that a ductless system is easier to install, and we can have the job done promptly, and properly!
