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.

Understanding the Importance of Your Thermostat

Struggling to control the temperature inside your home? Whether you’re in need of consistent heat or the relief that air conditioning brings, your home’s HVAC system is crucial for maintaining whole-home comfort.

When your thermostat is bad, the whole system functions erratically. This is because the thermostat is the boss of your HVAC system. Your heat and air conditioning kick on when the thermostat tells them to, and they stop when your home reaches the right temperature.

What does the thermostat do?

Just as your body reacts to your brain’s commands, the thermostat serves as the control center for your home’s heating and cooling. When the control center is functioning incorrectly, everything stops functioning properly as a result.

Why is thermostat important?

Along with causing frustration when your house is colder or warmer than you want it to be, a faulty thermostat can also cause an unexpected spike in your monthly utility bills. Because your HVAC system won’t work efficiently when the thermostat isn’t working properly, your heating and cooling systems will have to work harder to catch up to speed. Or, worse, they will run constantly due to temperature confusion.

How do you fix a broken thermostat?

Good news: fixing a faulty thermostat isn’t the end of the world! It is usually a relatively simple fix. If you want to try fixing it yourself, start by checking the manual for your thermostat. If you have a digital thermostat, there might even be functions to help you troubleshoot. If all else fails, it may be time to call in the professionals
