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.

4 Common Air Conditioner Smells (And How To Get Rid Of Them)

There is nothing better than coming inside on a hot day to the cooling comforts of a well-working air conditioning unit. And while it doesn’t take away from the benefits of cooler air, having strong odors accompany the air from your AC unit can certainly be disheartening.

To solve the issue of stench, it’s imperative that you get to the cause of the odor. Here are four common air conditioner smells and how to get rid of them.

1. Rotten eggs

The smell of sulfur, or a rotten egg smell, is a telltale sign of a natural gas leak. If you notice a rotten egg odor, you should take immediate action. Promptly turn off the unit and open any windows you can inside your home, then vacate the premises immediately. Be careful not to use your cell phone inside the house, as the electric charge can create a spark. Once you are safely outdoors, contact your local gas provider or a reputable plumbing team to help you find the leak and repair it as necessary.

2. Mold or mustiness

Since HVAC systems often deal with moist air or produce condensation, mold and mildew growth are fairly common problems. A constant musty smell can be coming from your ductwork or within the condenser coil inside the air conditioning unit. Mold spores within your HVAC system can cause health issues such as allergic reactions and asthma, as well as headaches and other problems. To get to the root of the stench, we recommend cleaning and inspecting your air conditioning unit as well as any existing ductwork.

3. Smoke

Secondhand smoke lingers longer than you might think. The smell of smoke can get stuck in the condenser coil of the air conditioning unit, and will eventually find its way into your home through the blower.

4. Burning

However, if you suspect that something is actively burning, it would be wise to check the air conditioner fan or compressor. If you smell burning around the AC unit itself, turn the unit off immediately and call for help from an HVAC professional.
