"Horrible Service ? Avoid at All Costs! I had a terrible experience with Sian/David Langh (phone: +1 (615) 477-2321). He was 2 hours late for the appointment, and when he finally arrived, he left two improperly installed locks unfinished. I requested a follow-up appointment to fix his mistakes, but David?s response was shockingly unprofessional. He told me he would come ?whenever he wants? and even called me stupid. I paid $1,000 for this insulting, unprofessional, and incomplete service. This has been an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience. Please don?t make the same mistake I did?avoid this contractor at all costs!"

"Overcharged with no description of fees. Agreed just due to having heat turned off for a week and wanting it back on. Later learned they charged me 500$ for a 5 minute install of a 25$ part. Then, they mailed me an extra bill for 100$ for "employee time" when they stated their initial bill was all inclusive. Absolutely ridiculous overcharging."

"Absolutely avoid Pioneer Home Services at all costs!!!!!!!!!! I had the misfortune of dealing with them when our A/C went out, and I chose them based on their seemingly great Google reviews. However, my experience was a nightmare. Their technician, Michael Miller, tried charging me a ridiculous $1100 for a simple capacitor and contactor switch. That only amounted to $40 online and 15 minutes of work. He actually tried to claim the parts alone were worth $800, which was beyond ridiculous. When I tried to verify the parts cost myself, Michael seemed hesitant and evasive about the quote, which immediately raised red flags. Later on, he quoted me $392 for the same job, which just added insult to injury. Save yourself the headache and find another HVAC company that actually values its customers. Pioneer Home Services, especially the technician Michael Miller, are the poster children for why people shouldn't rely solely on Google reviews to judge a company's credibility. AGAIN, AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!!!"

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.
