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.

Four Myths about HVAC Service

Heating and cooling systems can be confusing for many homeowners. Every time you think you know something, new information appears. Plenty of heating and cooling myths exist that homeowners may never have heard of. If you need a Fredericksburg heating expert, Robert B. Payne, Inc. is one of the best in the business, and offers the following information on heating and cooling myths.

A System that Works is Just Fine

Just because your system is working fine now does not mean that there is not an underlying issue going on with it. Only a qualified technician can truly tell you whether your system is working properly or not. If you have a preventative maintenance inspection on your system, it will help ensure the system lasts as long as possible.

Home Construction Warranties Cover Costs

Warranties for new construction will only cover any defects during the installation process or the materials used to make the unit. For example, such tasks as changing your air filter, inspections, changing of the fan belt, and lubrication are your own responsibility. If you choose to wait until your warranty period is almost up, you could end up with a costly repair bill.

Maintenance Contracts are Expensive

In reality, the contracts are a lot less expensive than what you realize. When you think about the amount of discomfort you will go through with a broken system and the length of time your system is out of commission, it’s easy to see how much money you will save on a maintenance agreement.

Heating/Cooling Systems Don’t Cost Much to Operate

The truth is your equipment is quite costly to operate. Around half of your energy bill is from your HVAC system. To reduce your costs, you will need to do a few modifications to maximize your savings. Talk to one of our specialists if you have questions.
