Customers say: True professional

"He was hired because the door was dragging and was too small for the frame, allowing in bugs and debris. He said he'd cut the new door to the exact measurement of the door frame. He did not even measure the door frame. He measured the "too-small" door, and cut the new door to fit that. When I mentioned it, he did not say "Oh, you're right! Go get another door, I'll pay for it and recut it properly." No, he said "Well, it'll swell in the Summer and you can fill it in with weather stripping." If I wanted to do that, I could've saved $260 and a day off work, and just cut the drag off my old door and filled it with weather stripping. I'm going to have to buy another uncut door and pay another handyman to do the same job again. I'm so upset, I'm crying, but there's nothing else to do but that...just pay another to fix it."

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.
