Replaced a 24 year old Furnace and Air conditioner. We were having problems with heating the upstairs on the left side of the house, and cooling the entire upstairs (80 degrees in Summer). Bid a two stage system (trane) and ran a new line from the main trunk in the attic to the bedroom on the left side of the house. Was the only people who directly addressed the problem, and we now have cooling upstairs in the summer. Have since used them for rental properties.

Reported a problem with unknown cause of black dust coming out of the air vents. Fairfax Cooling and Heating could have just come out, checked the furnace, and left (which is what another company did). Instead, they did an initial furnace and air quality check, conducted independent research on possible causes, worked with me on a series of actions to take, and ultimately the source of the black dust was found (it was fire soot left in the air ducts by the previous unit owner).

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

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.
