"Of all the HVAC companies I contacted, these guys had the best rates to come out and diagnose why my A/C was blowing hot air. Will came out and was very thorough and professional in diagnosing the issue and got me up and running in the same visit! He had great communication leading up to the meeting, and also spent a good amount of time talking to me about what was going on with my HVAC and giving advice. Very honest, knowledgeable, and didn't try to pressure upcharge me on anything but did offer additional services. I will definitely be hiring Will again for any other work and when it's time to replace my 14-year old HVAC (but hopefully not too soon!)"

"I chose LEAL Remodeling to install a recessed medicine cabinet into a fully tiled wall because they had such high ratings and they did not disappoint! In fact they did a perfect job. They had to move some venting pipes and then frame out the cabinet. There was some electrical involved as well. Additionally they covered all the floors and fixtures during the installation and then meticulously cleaned up when they were done. The project took 8 -9 hours and there were 2 men. The project cost was $1500 which I feel was very fair. I’ll be hiring LEAL for more projects this spring and summer."

JWHI provides world-class customer service with consistent and superior workmanship. We strive to be the trusted market leader in the home improvement industry. Proudly, we are Super Service Award Winner for over a decade, and we plan to keep that streak going! Contact us today to discuss your next handyman or remodeling project. Our mission is to provide you with a happy home improvement experience!
"There are not enough superlatives to describe the wonderful work that JWHI did on our home. We called them in because our house desperately needed to be painted, some key exterior repairs were required, and the gutters needed to be replaced. Specifically, the paint on the brick exterior was dingy and badly flaking, the siding (wood) portion of the house had dry rot in places, one of the shutters had fallen off during a windstorm, and the wooden columns on the front porch had visible vertical cracks. Thomas Matamoros, Apolo Gonzalez, and the rest of the team did back-breaking work day after day, for several weeks, to address and remediate these and other issues. They power washed the exterior; expertly scraped and primed the surface to ensure it was properly prepared for painting; spent many laborious hours painstakingly repairing and repainting the columns and shutters; removed and replaced rotted wood where it existed, even in corners; communicated their progress after each workday; were extremely solicitous to make certain we were aware of and approved of the work that was being done; and, after doing a superb job painting the exterior, replaced the old, deteriorated gutters with beautiful shiny new ones. The house looks phenomenal! We are so appreciative of the thought, effort, and craftmanship Thomas and Apolo put into our home. Their work is of the highest quality, and we feel fortunate that JWHI assigned them to our project. We also appreciate that Assistant Project Manager Ever and Project Manager Cliff stopped by to offer insights and solicit feedback. We are so pleased to have worked with JWHI. The company has earned our family’s trust, and we recommend them without reservation."

"They installed our AC system; that went fine. But several years later, when it needed repair. They came out and looked at the problem, and then ghosted me. They didn't return my multiple calls. When I finally got somebody else to come out to look at the problem, they told me that the warranty had just expired on the part that needed replacing. Putting 2 +2 together, Buric ghosted me to run out the clock on my warranty for the repair of the product they installed. Would you ever hire anybody who behaves like that???"

Unless you're very skilled with HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work, it's best to hire a professional. Improper installation can damage your HVAC system, increase energy bills, and reduce equipment lifespan. A pro will ensure everything is installed correctly and safely.
It depends on your maintenance preferences and budget. Drum humidifiers cost less upfront but require more frequent maintenance to prevent mold growth. Flow-through humidifiers are a bit more expensive but need less upkeep because they have fewer parts that can harbor mold. Consider how much maintenance you're willing to do when choosing between the two.
Repairing a whole-house humidifier costs an average of $230, with prices ranging up to $500 depending on the type of unit, extent of the repair, and labor fees in your area. Units integrated into your ductwork or servicing larger homes may incur higher repair costs. Regular maintenance can help prevent expensive repairs and extend the life of your humidifier, saving you money in the long run.
If your home's humidity level drops below 30%, a whole-house humidifier can help. Dry air can lead to discomfort and health issues. Energy Star recommends keeping indoor humidity between 30% and 50%. In colder regions, aim for 30% to 40% in winter to prevent window condensation. If your home has too much humidity, you may need a whole-house dehumidifier.
Whole-house humidifiers typically last 10 to 15 years. If your unit is nearing this age or isn't working well, it might be time to replace it. Upgrading can improve efficiency and save on energy costs. Consult a professional to assess your unit.
A whole-house humidifier is installed directly into your HVAC system, usually near the furnace or air handler. It connects to your ductwork and plumbing. Because installation involves integrating with existing systems, it's best to hire a professional to ensure everything works safely and efficiently.
If you're experiencing issues with your humidifier, check out our Humidifier Repair Cost Guide for more details.
