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.

Seven Steps for Staying Snug: How to Care for Your Gas Furnace

Your furnace does a lot for you, keeping you warm and toasty through those cold winter months. But we all need a little maintenance now and again! Follow these tips to keep your furnace pumping!

The first and most important step in furnace maintenance is staying safe! Before you begin – make sure your gas furnace is OFF! Check for gas leaks and stay far away if you find one before calling a professional (us!).
After ensuring your furnace is off, check your filter! This is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to ensure your furnace is around for years to come. Improper filtration is one of the biggest causes of malfunction – and it is recommended that the filter is replaced regularly to prevent soot build up and other issues.
So your filter was full – after replacement it still may have some issues. The next step is cleaning the vents. Start by removing the cover, clean the parts you can reach using a large brush and finally bring in the big guns. With a trustworthy vacuum, clean the back of the ducts.
Clean that blower! After all the filter maintenance – the blower is next up on the list. Located just after the filter – the blower can also accumulate soot and dust. Remove the barricades between the filter and blower, find a damp towel and get down to business!
You’re in luck! This next task requires no cleaning. Simply check your thermostat regularly to ensure proper temperature control.
Check those ducts! No, no ducks – ducts. These babies are highly susceptible to damage and often need some extra care. Pull back out the vacuum and get to work!
For this last one, you may need a little help. Fan components need to be checked yearly – the sooner you catch a problem, the sooner we can fix it!

Maintenance is essential – but sometimes even the most cared for furnaces need a little extra TLC. If your furnace is faulty and you need some help staying warm – call Robert B Payne at 540-373-5876! We are here to help, no matter what condition your furnace is in!
