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?

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 Reduce Your Oil to Gas Conversion Cost

Which is better, natural gas or oil? Gas offers many advantages over oil, but the cost of conversion can still prevent some homeowners from making the switch. If you have considered this transition, but put the idea on a back burner because of the cost, consider these oil to gas conversion cost savings ideas from Robert B. Payne, Inc.:

1. Start by Figuring out Your Savings

It may be easier for you to make this investment if you understand how much money you’ll be saving on your monthly heating bills with the conversion. In addition to comparing the costs of oil versus natural gas, factor in the savings in equipment wear and tear and the possibility of incentives for making the switch. You should also keep the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning and oil leaks in mind.

2. Shop for Incentives

You may be able to access government grants and incentives to help you pay for this conversion. If you can qualify for some of these savings opportunities, then your conversion cost might be much less than you first estimated. Contact your utility company as well.

3. Time Your Conversion Right

If you complete this conversion when your outdated oil-heating system is due to be replaced, then those funds that would have gone toward a new oil system could be used for the natural gas conversion instead. You might also find that it is easier and faster to have the conversion completed if you are able to have the switch made when your neighbors are not having theirs done.

4. Check for Natural Gas Access in Your Area

If a natural gas line is already running through your community, then the oil to gas conversion cost may be less than you first estimated.

5. Work With an Experienced Company

There are specific techniques that must be used to complete this conversion effectively. Make sure that you are working with contractors who have the knowledge base necessary to do the job correctly.

With these tips, you can reduce your oil to gas conversion cost. Contact Robert B. Payne, Inc. at 540-373-5876 and begin to enjoy monthly savings on your heating bill.
