Very pleased with ACE for many years. Service staff and work product have been great. I had bad experiences with several other DC area HVAC firms - but not ACE! Two Thumbs up.

Have used them for about 12-15 yrs, Carrier Electric heat pump/air handler for townhouse. Also use an annual midrange service agreement, our choice due to benefits to us. They're very persistent about making sure you avail yourselves of the included seasonal included maintenance visits. Good about giving us priority when outages occur. Only negative was well-intentioned upselling a few years ago. We needed a solution for dry air, a whole house humidifier. Never solved the issue. A subsequent tech told us that humidifiers don't work well with Electric heat pump systems, as the air never gets hot enough for introducing humidity into ducts near air handler. We had the April Aire gear removed and the related water line tap taken out, duct work resealed where humidifier had been. FYI, We'd never had luck with in-room portable humidifiers. Constantly having to refill them.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs to heating or air-conditioning equipment, 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.
