Frequently Asked HVAC Questions

There is no magic HVAC unit size when it comes to the size of your house. So to ensure that you get the best-sized system for your home, have a professional evaluate your space. This way, they can give you an estimate as to what size will work best for your home's space and needs.

Luckily for you, your air conditioning unit will last an average of 10-15 years, and your heat pump will last an average of 12 years. Different factors can lead to early retirement for your unit, so be sure that you're taking good care of it. Having your unit exposed to smog, bad air quality, and poor weather fairly often can all factor into a shorter lifespan.

For the best maintenance and care you can give your unit, have it checked by a professional twice a year. This maintenance is preventative to lessen your chance of a surprise issue popping up and can help make your unit lasts as long as possible. Along with that, this routine tune-up will ensure that your system is running as efficiently as possible.

If you want to take care of your unit and have it last a long time, pay attention to your filters. Your air filters can lead to low efficiency and poor air quality if they aren't replaced often enough. For your best results, replace your disposable filters once a month and/or clean your reusable filters once a month. However, some filters can last up to 90 days – so ask a professional about the best treatment for your air filters and your HVAC system.

In order to keep your HVAC unit running as long as possible, try getting your A/C system on a schedule. Leaving the air off when you're not home, regularly changing your air filter, and getting seasonal tune-ups are the best ways to ensure your A/C unit keeps you cool for as many years as possible.

“It depends” is not the answer you’d like to hear. However, it’s the truth. It depends on the size of your house, the work that needs to be done for it, and the type of equipment that gets installed, with the efficiency of the equipment being a factor as well. You can expect to spend $13,000 up to $20,000 on a new complete system. However, the best way to get the most accurate prices is for us to go to your home and give you an FREE estimate with all of your options.

A free estimate is when a technician goes out to your home, looks at your system, takes measurements and information, then gives you options to replace your current system- for free. If you were given a cheaper price by someone else, let us compare bids with them so that we can get you the best price! We will meet or beat ANY price- matching apples to apples, of course. A free estimate does NOT cover any diagnostics, repairs, or other services. No company in the valley will do any repairs or diagnostics for free. If they claim to, we would advise that you be wary or cautious as this means they will most definitely be looking to upsell you- aggressively, too.

Again, it depends on the work that needs to be done.  Our technician will walk you through all of your possible options before doing ANYTHING to your unit. However, you can expect to spend between $150 up to $2000. Please keep in mind that frequent repairs might be less cost-efficient than replacing your system depending on its age.

Our diagnostic fee covers a full inspection of your system. After taking their time to inspect, test, and run your system, the technician will diagnose any problems that seem to arise and disclose all pieces of information to you. If you refuse to have any work or repairs done, the most you would spend with us is this $85. This price MAY vary if work is done out of our service area, out of our business hours, or during the weekend.

A tune up consists of our technician cleaning your system, checking the levels of all parts of it, testing its levels, blowing out the condensation drain line, and securing all the electrical connections to ensure safe and reliable operation. This price MAY vary if work is done out of our service area, out of our business hours, or during the weekend.
