Are you looking for an old fashion honest service company with experience and integrity? A company that will explain all your options in clear simple terms, in a no pressure environment? Then we are the company for you. Give us a call today.

"The owner of Mannix came out himself, was very knowledgeable and explained technical details, had the right idea of what was wrong, and took out his tools and poked around for an hour confirming his thinking. He didn't charge me expensive "tech" rates for the diagnosis, gave his thoughts on the repair (expensive) and also replacement (more expensive), and let me weigh the pros and cons. He gave me the best price on a new furnace, which was the right choice for me. His install team was neat, fast and professional. The whole Mannix crew gave me confidence in their abilities and integrity when no one else did. I cannot recommend highly enough."

Advanced Environment Solutions, Inc., is dedicated to providing our customers with the best quality and craftsmanship. We are here to build relationships with our customers and communities and to provide our employees with a great place to work. Advanced Environment Solutions, Inc., is a leader in providing our customers with the highest quality products and craftsmanship in an honest, efficient, and professional way. Our pledge is to create successful relationships with our customers, employees and community by building trust, treating every project with the utmost integrity and exceeding expectations.

"From the moment I received a call from Tammy at Advanced Environment Solutions Inc. (AES), I knew I was dealing with a company that stands out from the rest. We had been shopping around for HVAC replacement quotes, and to our surprise, AES offered an over-the-phone estimate that was a staggering $7,000 less than any other quote we had received. This wasn't just a promise; it was a reality that they delivered on with professionalism and integrity. The process was seamless. After a quick confirmation visit by their technician to verify our unit size, everything was set in motion. On the day of installation, despite the sweltering heat, AES's teams worked with remarkable efficiency. One team expertly removed our old unit, and almost immediately, another arrived with the new one. The entire replacement was completed in a single day, leaving us both amazed and immensely grateful. The staff at AES were not only professional but also incredibly courteous and knowledgeable. They explained each step of the process, ensuring we understood everything. The quality of the new HVAC unit they installed surpasses any expectations we had, offering superior performance and energy efficiency. What's most puzzling and impressive is how AES manages to undercut competitors by such a significant margin while providing top-notch service and quality. This is a testament to their business model, which prioritizes customer satisfaction and ethical pricing. We highly recommend Advanced Environment Solutions Inc. to anyone in need of HVAC services. Their commitment to excellence, combined with unbeatable pricing, makes them the go-to choice. Contact AES, and like us, you'll discover why they are simply awesome!"

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
