Indoor comfort is a significant part of life in your home. From heating to cooling, humidification to air purification systems and servicing your equipment, selecting the right equipment and contractor is an important decision. At Robbins Heating and Air Conditioning, we take your indoor comfort seriously. According to Dave Klunder, President, "Our approach is to educate and inform customers about their choices for a properly designed total indoor comfort system."

"DOES NOT CHECK THEIR OWN WORK! I paid for regular checkup and ended up also paying for their recommended replacement of my contactor on the AC unit. After the work was done, I had to leave for an errand and came back to a HOT house, only to find that the tech did NOT turn my thermostat back on. He didn't tell me that I needed to do it, so basically, they're ok with leaving the customer in a lurch and NOT taking responsibility. I also had to call the next day to ask for an itemized receipt, since the tech never left me with a copy of what I paid for. Speaking of, they charged me $280 to replace the $40 part (massive labor charge), PLUS the $99 "service" fee. When they finally sent the invoice after I requested it twice, there was no itemization of the charges at all. This situation was so bad with how Robbins handled this scenario, that my husband called to try and rectify it. This company was recommended to me by my father-in-law, and I had been using them for the last three years. I will NEVER use them again, nor will I be recommending their services. No apology, no accountability, no good."

"I just have to say thank you to Clark's mechanical and Corey for the amazing job on my split mini heat/air. Our technician Cory was reliable and expert in his HVAC trade. He had a solution that didn't break the bank literally in five minutes. I'm mean honestly I called about a dozen places just asking them to take a. Look. They all wanted hundreds to merely dispatch a tech. Clarks Mechanical was Jonny on the spot. Just a few hours later we had heat and air conditioning at a reasonable price. So yes I wholeheartedly recommend Clarks mechanical every day and twice on Sunday"

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.
