During July 24 heat wave my AC went out, called Dan, although slammed with repairs he was going to come in to work Friday after the 4th and he said he would try to stop by if he could, otherwise it would be Tuesday. Friday, he called and came by, diagnosed the minor problem (blown capacitor), had parts on the truck and fixed the problem. Just regular service call and parts no upcharge for rush or holiday. Great Service and a great person to deal with.

Dickson is high quality and great value. We got 3 bids for a furnace replacement and Dickson was the lowest. The work and staff were extremely professional. We are very happy with having worked with 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.
