Not knowing prices of other companies, it is difficult to rate Prices. I have had refrigerant added twice in the past two years, and it is difficult to figure out why it is so expensive. In Bowman's visit, the technician explained where the leak was, while during an earlier visit by a different company, the technician said there was a leak "somewhere" and it would be over $300 to check for it. We plan to have the leak repaired.

I looked into this company after seeing an ad in local Lifestyle magazine. First thing that intrigued me was their comprehensive services to include heat pumps (I'm curious about CCHP). "But, the ad said "We WILL BEAT any other company's installation & repair price." OK, that's an indicator on the Better-Faster-Cheaper scale (pick one, maybe two but you don't get all three). The kicker was seeing their website services for Duct cleaning based upon their recommendation. Total deal breaker. They may be competent in HVAC but I'd rather do business elsewhere.

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.

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.
