Focus in on selling the maintenance package. Unit we bought from them is low quality and has needed new parts every year since install in 2019. Repair is always over $300.

Our Carrier air conditioner that ARS installed was not working when the summer check up was done. After 3 days of diagnostics, we ended up getting a new ac, even though the Carrier one was "new," not quite 4 years old. The one ARS installed was squeaking, a technician came out and found the problem: shoddy installation. His boss said to fix it with duct tape!! And that is where we stand at this point. Also, if you phone their Quality Assurance number, they do NOT return calls as they obviously do not care about quality nor assuring the customer. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Just wanted the standard checkup. Technician didn't/wouldn't do everything listed on the website as part of the checkup. Heavy pressure to get salesman out to bid on replacing system. Another company said it's just old, but in good shape and nothing needed to be done.

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.
