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.

How to Prepare Your HVAC System for Summer Thunderstorms

The summer months bring about the possibility of a thunderstorm happening at any time. It’s important to be prepared for this and to prepare your HVAC system, as well. This can prevent the possibility of severe damage to your HVAC unit that could result in costly repairs. Knowing the right things to do to get your HVAC unit ready for summer is important.

Clear Out Around the Unit

Be sure your exterior unit is not surrounded by trees. This can increase the possibility of lightning striking the trees or the unit for that matter.

Take the time to keep your HVAC unit cleared of any objects, such as trees, weeds or other components. Keeping your unit free of debris is also ideal to help it run more efficiently, as well.

Avoid Placing Electrical Components

When it comes to putting up a satellite or other necessary object for your television connection, you will want to avoid placing it next to your HVAC unit. This could cause lightning to strike it and the unit if there is a severe thunderstorm in the area.

Take the time to find a place outside your home that is far away from your HVAC unit to ensure you don’t have to worry about this. The company installing this item for you is sure to be capable of giving you the best advice of where to put it.
