Consumer Comments for Compare Heating & Air Conditioning

Consumer from CONCORD, CA

We had an urgent need to replace the HVAC for the ADU. This as April 2024. We got 6 estimates and Compare was the second lowest price. They explained all options, how the project would proceed and how long it would take. I asked all the bidders to also price a Heat Pump solution and Compare were again the second lowest. We gave them the contract and it was great decision. The neatness of the work and helping file for the government programs were top class. They even built a custom cover for the exposed pipe as the unit had to be placed a few feet away from the wall. Top company. Top people to work with. Highly recommended. We will certainly go back to them when we replace the main HVAC.

Another Air Condition company stated that the air conditioner needed to be replace and wanted to charge approximately $10,000. Compare came and tweaked some wires anf fixed the problem. They're honest and efficient.

I found this company many years ago through Consumers' Checkbook and I have been using them for routine maintenance ever since. They are always prompt, and I happily recommend them.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
