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 Save Money On Your Summer Energy Bill

Keeping the costs of your energy bill down during the summer is important. This will require you to take some time to learn ways to make this happen. The key to paying less for your electric bill is knowing effective tips for reducing the amount of energy used and this will work to keep your bill lowered.

Use the Ceiling Fan

Simply turning on the ceiling fan in your home daily can help you stay cooler and will help avoid turning the thermostat down. This will allow the air in your home to flow better, and you can benefit from this greatly.

Using this type of fan is less expensive than turning your AC unit way down each day. Be sure to be consistent when doing this to have the greatest savings possible.

Change the Filters

One way to ensure the air in your home stays cooler is by putting in a new air filter every one to three months. This can help reduce your energy costs greatly by reducing the amount of time you AC unit runs.

Filters are relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at your local hardware store or even in some grocery chains. Simply be sure you know the right sized filter to get before you go shopping.
