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 SEER2 Rating?

The SEER2 (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is a measure of the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.The higher the SEER2 rating, the more efficiently a unit operates. The SEER2 rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 21.

“We were highly impressed when Daniel and Frank showed up on time, and before even entering the house they put booties on. Their professionalism was remarkable they took videos and photos of the system then set down and presented our options. Our air conditioner is 10 years old and will have issues here on out, so showing us our options we decided on having a new one put in. Daniel and Frank were very professional and answered any and all questions we had. They took the time to explain the service and details of the service plan. We were really impressed with the knowledge that Frank showed us explaining the different options for financing and making it affordable for me. Thank you both for your honesty and professionalism. We will spread the word anyone looking for a good air conditioning company.”

“I would like to share a truly wonderful experience I had with a technician who came to service our air conditioning. His name is Seth, and he made such a positive impact on us during his visit. He was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. His excellent people skills really stood out, and he made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Thanks to the outstanding service we received from Seth, we felt assured that we were in good hands with the company, so we decided to sign up for the VIP program. We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Seth for his exceptional work. We hope others will recognize his efforts as well. Warm regards, The Del Rio Family Bonita, California”

“The AC unit was working perfectly. Had the drain pan replaced, now the unit doesn't work. They sent out a tech to check it out, cost free, and have solved the problem. One hour heating and air is very reliable and efficient. I recommend it for any ac and/or heating needs. Erick did an amazing job! His professionalism, dedication, and job knowledge are beyond anything I’ve seen. Thanks again to the whole team, especially to Jeff and Erick L.”
