"Dreadful experience. We had been customers of Astacio since 2015 when they installed our first tankless boiler which failed completely after 7 years and needed to be replaced in late 2022. ($10,000+) Their second one just stopped working; a dodgy board? The part is under warranty but they want almost $1,000 to replace it in the boiler; probably less than 2 hours work. I thought they used to be a good local business with ties to the community but be careful; their tankless boilers are unreliable and they'll try to rip you off when your heat goes out in the winter. So much for standing by their work. I'll never use them again."

"Issue with Bell Mechanical This past August of 2024 we had a heat pump system installed in the house by Bell Mechanical. Unfortunately, we have had nothing but issues since with the biggest being no heat multiple times and now again today we are without heat in the majority of our house. It is freezing outside, we have a toddler and within the past week this is the 2nd time we have no heat (4th time since the system was put in). Not only is this a life safety issue, but it also is heart breaking to have your toddler tell you they are freezing. Looking for advice on next steps. We have never sued anyone or threatened to sue but this may be the time as we have had nothing but issues since the beginning. From the start we made it very clear that everything needed to be done to code and permitted. We were doing a lot of major renovations at our house and everything was being done to code and permitted. John (the salesman) at Bell said that was not a problem. John also told us that the only additional cost we could potentially incur outside of what he quoted us for the system and its installation would be a $500 fee for the installation of the heat strip. We accepted this and moved forward. After Bell removed our central air system and installed the new carrier system we got his with additional work needed at the tune of over 2k. Needless to say we were not happy. John told us the electrician they use and that if we used that electrician there would be no delay but if we used ours that it would cause a delay. So, we went with what John said as he was the expert. John got the electrician to come down a little in price which we were grateful for. Fast forward to when the building inspector came out to close out the permits for the work Bell did and other work being done at the house, the inspector told my contractor that the heat pump was not done to code. We were told that the electrical for it was not done to code and he could not close out the permit. My husband talked to the electrician Bell gave us who informed us that Bell told him to “cut corners” which was part of getting the cost down slightly. Reminder, we NEVER said to do this, we made it clear that everything needed to be permitted and even paid the permit fees to Bell. Back and forth with Bell and the electrician got the electrician to fix his work at no additional cost but Bell still needed to fix the outside plug which was not to code. Giovanni at Bell agreed that Bell would fix this issue at no additional cost. It has been 3 months now and Bell has still not rectified this issue and Giovanni and John are both nonresponsive to our follow-ups. Bell has also had to come out 4 additional times because our system was not working and again today, we have no heat. Today will be the 5th time they have to come out for issues on a system that is 4 months old. This is not OK. We have given Bell ample time to rectify the issues. Clearly they did not do the install properly and there is also the possibility we have a faulty system. We have never sued someone or went to court but then again, we have never had such large and costly issues."

Running a window air conditioner to cool a small room often costs less than $4 per day, making it cheaper than central air for single-room cooling. However, central air might be more efficient if you're using multiple window units or need to cool a space larger than 1,000 square feet. Choosing the right size AC is crucial—a unit that's too big or small can waste energy and increase costs.
Window AC units can use a significant amount of energy. These units use about 12 to 17 kilowatt-hours per day, significantly more than a refrigerator's one to 1.5 kilowatt-hours per day. To keep your energy costs down, run your window AC only when necessary, keep doors closed to contain the cool air, regularly clean filters and coils, and seal any gaps around the unit to prevent cold air from escaping.
Inexpensive air conditioner units are often not worth it. Low-cost products from popular brands like General Electric, LG, Whirlpool, or Frigidaire may be a reasonable investment. However, putting a small, budget-friendly unit in a large room wastes energy and shortens the life span of the AC since it has to draw more power and work much harder to cool the space. The unit will consume more energy and stress the motor and other internal parts, resulting in early breakdown and costly repairs.
The best deals on window AC units come during the fall when businesses slash prices to clear out old inventory. You can also speak with your local AC installer, who may get you a good deal on a window AC unit since they have access to trade pricing. You can also watch for discontinued products and flash sales in your area.
Window AC repair costs between $110 and $390, with most people paying around $250. Parts cost between $2 and $150, with the rest going toward labor, at around $30 per hour. The occasional one-off repair or a routine AC tuneup cost $75 to $200. Servicing can keep your AC running in good condition for several more years before you need to pay for a replacement unit.
Window AC units last eight to 10 years when installed and maintained correctly. High-quality models last up to 20 years with proper care and routine maintenance. The unit’s longevity depends on its construction quality, regular cleaning, and electrical safety inspections. Keeping the filters and coils clean and addressing minor repairs promptly extends its effective performance and ensures reliable cooling.
