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.

I have bad allergies. What can help improve the air in my house?

For individuals who suffer from allergies, we recommend installing indoor air quality systems to help remove contaminants, bacteria and molds, viruses, and allergens from the air. Robert B. Payne, Inc. offers indoor air quality assessments and installation services such as Air Scrubber and Reme Halo systems which work to keep the air you breathe as healthy and pure as possible!

Warm up the Benefits of a Geothermal Heat Pump

Imagine being able to heat and cool your home with one system. Now imagine that that system provides huge energy savings, is 400% more efficient than a standard air conditioning unit, and is extremely eco-friendly. You’d probably want to learn more, right?

You’re in luck.

Geothermal heat pumps are one of the latest and (in our opinion) greatest technologies to hit the home heating and cooling market. Not only are they environmentally friendly, extremely efficient, and cost-effective, they also provide heating and cooling all year round from one reliable system. It’s almost too good to be true.

How geothermal heat pumps work

Geothermal heat pumps function by taking the air from within your home and circulating it through underground coils, where the temperature remains at a consistent 55ºF. In the summer months, when cooling is a must, warm air from within your home circulates within the coils and is cooled by the refrigerant within. The same process occurs in cooler months when heating is needed, taking cool air from inside the home and heating it through the coils underground.

While this system seems complicated, the installation and maintenance of a geothermal heat pump are actually quite straight-forward. Most geothermal systems have a lengthy warranty, and since many of the components of the system are located underground, there are fewer areas of concern when it comes to typical wear and tear of home heating and cooling systems.

Many homeowners willingly spend the higher upfront investment for geothermal heat pumps because the ROI is so impressive. The energy savings, low maintenance costs, and efficient cooling and heating properties of geothermal heat pumps will typically pay for the price of the system installation over its lifecycle.

Benefits of heat pumps

Energy-efficient. Geothermal heat pumps have proven to be upwards of 400% as efficient as standard heating and cooling units, such as traditional oil or gas furnaces and common air conditioning units.
Eco-friendly. Geothermal heat pumps utilize 100% renewable energy to provide reliable heating and cooling from one system.
Stable source for both heating and cooling. Unlike many modern “green” systems, geothermal heat pumps constantly deliver home heating and cooling functions, thanks to the consistent temperature surrounding the underground coils.
Long lifespan. Most geothermal heat pump systems have a lifespan of 25+ years, with major components that typically last upwards of 50 years. Geothermal systems generally require less maintenance than traditional methods and have been known to be one of the most reliable sources of heating and cooling available today.
