Sloppiness; poor quality; but responsive service

I needed to have my crawl furnace ducts inspected for rat damage and leaks before Winter. Valley AC and Heating had previously installed these in 2015 and repaired them for rat damage in about 2018, both times very competent work if a bit pricey. There were three problems with the job, which they handled very well. The crawl space is very low and tight, and we have two bee hives in our back yard near the path to the crawl space entry. I requested a thin, agile person to do the inspection plus someone who is not allergic to bee stings bees or afraid of bees. I also requested that the inspection be done before noon when the bees are not very active. Valley sent the perfect person --- thin, agile, very smart, and unafraid of bees. He took about an hour to make his way under our house to inspect 9 ducts, found no damage, and repaired three minor leaks where the ducts join the heating vents to the house. And they only charged us only $130 for time and labor!!! Job well done.

Very good overall, though, they have to come back and fix piping job after failing to pass the city inspection.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating system works when needed, it must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

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.
