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.

What is an HVAC Refrigerant?

A refrigerant within your HVAC system is what makes air conditioning throughout the entire home a possibility. This refrigerant is contained within the coils of the cooling unit. The liquid agents cool and even dehumidify the indoor air for your entire family. The most commonly used refrigerant for a cooling unit has been R-22 for years now, but R-410A, which is chlorine-free and great for the ozone, has become increasingly more popular over the years.

R-22 Refrigerant

R-22 is often known as Freon in the world of air conditioning. You have probably heard it referred to as such. For decades now, R-22 has been the most commonly used type of refrigerant available in the home. As of 2010, however, it has been discontinued in newer air conditioning systems. This is because the refrigerant contained hydro-chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) which would contribute to the depletion of our planet’s ozone. This just could not stand, so a new type of refrigerant was developed for cooling systems.

R-410A Refrigerant

For all new cooling units, R-410A, otherwise known as Puron, has been widely used. The substance was approved for newer model residential air conditioning systems, as it was found to be safe for human beings to be around and the hydro-fluorocarbon (HFX) does not contribute to the depletion of the ozone. As of 2015, Puron has become the standard for all residential cooling systems within the United States.

A huge benefit of using Puron is that these systems to run more efficiently and reliably within the home – meaning they last far longer.
