What does the One Hour mean in your company name?

If we do not show up within that window, your service call fee is waived. 1. Express Appointment: This is an appointment that is scheduled during a specified one-hour time slot. You are promised that a technician will arrive at your home within this one-hour time window. You will also receive a call when the technician is en route to your home. 2. Reserved Appointment: This is an appointment that is scheduled during a specified, two-hour time slot. You are promised that a technician will arrive at your home within this two-hour time window. You will also receive a call when the technician is en route to your home. 3. Standard Appointment: This is an appointment that is scheduled during a specified four-hour time slot. You are promised that a technician will arrive at your home within this four-hour time window. You will also receive a call when the technician is en route to your home. 4. Stand-By Appointment: This appointment is for overflow situations. This appointment will not have a specified time. You will receive a call when the technician is en route to your home. 5. Emergency Appointment: This appointment is for an unspecified time after normal business hours Monday – Saturday and all day on Sundays/Holidays. Calls are dispatched in the same order they are received. You will also receive a call when the technician is en route to your home.

Do you service emergencies after-hours?

Yes, we offer emergency services 24-hours a day, year-round.

How much will my service cost?

The size and complexity of your HVAC issue will determine the cost. Because our trained, licensed HVAC technicians must diagnose the issue before we are able to quote you an accurate cost, we require an appointment to be set to complete a diagnostic on your system. Once the diagnostic is complete, your One Hour(R) technician will walk you through all costs using our Straightforward Pricing(R) Guide so there are never any surprise fees.

How often should I service my HVAC system?

It's ideal to service your cooling system each spring and your heating system each fall to ensure you find small issues before they become big problems.

How often do I need to change my HVAC filter?

Your filter should be changed every one to three months, depending on conditions in your home and your region's climate.

Do you offer purchase financing?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore comfort in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

What are the advantages of a smart Thermostat?

Smart thermostats learn a household's patterns and adjust heating and cooling according to when a home is occupied, give homeowners the ability to control the thermostat remotely, and enable homeowners to reduce their energy use, saving you money.

HVAC means Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems refer to air conditioners, furnaces, and any unit that cools indoor spaces during the summer and warm them in the winter. In general, an HVAC system takes in air, heats or cools that air, and blows it into a room or any indoor space. While many homes have separate air conditioning and heating units, others have a heat pump that cools and heats the house. Not only do HVAC systems maintain desired temperatures, but they also improve indoor air quality and regulate humidity levels. But most importantly, these units provide comfort all year round.

What is a SEER Rating?

The SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is a measure of the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.The higher the SEER rating, the more efficiently a unit operates. The SEER rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 21.

“Erick did a phenomenal job going above and beyond to explain every detail and provide a best course of action for our 1989 home furnace. Coming into our appointment I had zero knowledge of HVAC or what to expect. After my appointment with Erick I feel up to speed with current safety protocols and well equipped to make an informed decision for our home. Erick is a senior tech in his field and is very straightforward, knowledgeable and also friendly. There were quite a few safety concerns with our dated system, but I now feel safe and have peace of mind following my appointment with Erick. It was truly a 5 star experience and I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Erick for any of your HVAC needs or concerns.”

“5 Stars – Blown Away (Literally and Figuratively) Not only did Karsten save us 4k from a bogus inspection from Anderson Plumbing, from the moment he arrived, it was clear I was dealing with a true professional. Punctual, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable, he walked us through everything step by step. He didn’t just do a quick once-over — he did a full, thorough inspection and explained what was working perfectly and what might need attention down the line (no pressure, just facts). Now my AC is running colder, quieter, and more efficiently than it has in years. I feel so much better knowing everything’s in top shape before the heat really hits. If you’re on the fence about getting your system checked, do it — and call these guys. Best decision I’ve made all season.”

“I was very impressed with everyone who helped me at one hour ! There was so much consistency and communication, I was truly impressed. It’s hard to find good, high quality service and I’m so happy to promote their services to others. Seth, the tech who came to our home was so professional and very knowledgeable!! He was also honest when he encountered something he wasn’t familiar with and made sure to get the answers for us. So impressed! Five star service!! Thanks Seth and everyone at the One Hour team.”

“The initial scheduling was a little wonky but their office promptly called me to follow up on the issue. Appointment arrival windows are 4 hr windows but I asked if I could be seen in the first half of the window bc I had an obligation right at the end of the window. Come time for the apt, the technician Seth called me a a little before 8 and said he could be here in 10-15! Very punctual, professional and courteous. He reviewed the system findings with me and recommendations to keep our 10 year old unit in top notch running condition . I Would recommend 1 hour heating and air and Seth to anyone looking for AC Maintenance and Service!”
