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.

The Pros and Cons of Mini Split Air Conditioning Systems

Are you considering investing in a mini-split air conditioning system? If so, you’ll want to research the pros and cons first. Luckily, we’ve done that here!

PROS

Mini-split air conditioning systems require only a very small hole to be drilled into the wall, which means less work when it comes to installation. Plus, they’ll be less vulnerable to air leakage. Mini-split AC systems are also less noisy, and they’re incredibly energy-efficient. In fact, it’s been estimated that, in the average house, you could stand to lose 25 percent or more of energy to ductwork. Yikes! If you do decide on a mini-split AC system, check to see if you qualify for a federal tax credit, too – another huge bonus.

CONS

There are essentially three major cons for homeowners considering mini-split AC systems. First, there’s upfront cost to think about – ductless units tend to cost several times more than window units or baseboard heating units. Next, there’s maintenance to consider. With mini-split systems, you will have to properly maintain your system by washing your unit’s filters on a monthly basis. This isn’t something you can skip – if you ignore maintenance and cleaning, you could be looking at some serious repairs. Lastly, one con that keeps homeowners from purchasing a mini-split system is simple aesthetics. They’re not exactly the most attractive options when it comes to air conditioning systems!
