At Van's Heating and Cooling your complete satisfaction with our heating and air conditioning services is 100% guaranteed. We are proud to serve you with heating and air conditioning professionals that are highly trained, and will exceed your expectations.

"Contacted Vans for two services. 1. Requested service of air filtrations system. The air filter system has a UV light that was not illuminating. A simple item to fix that could not be completed on sight and required an estimate that exceeded the cost of a new air filter. 2. Signed up for a routine furnace and air conditioning service. The furnace service was completed in late November. The air conditioning service was scheduled for spring 2025. The furnace was working properly prior to visit. After the November visit, the furnace would exhibit a loud buzzing sound when it initially fired and would "short cycle". These conditions were not observed or heard prior to the service. Called Van's regarding the furnace issues. Van's scheduled a follow up service same day. Decided against the follow up service due to the performance issues. Reason: The two prior visits resulted in either not fixing the problem (UV light) or the furnace working poorly after a "routine service". Requested our money back for all prior service. The routine furnace and air conditioning work was performed on a pre pay basis. The Van's manager agreed to refund only the air conditioning payment (service was scheduled but not performed). The two prior visits were not refunded. Overall, Van's did not appear to be familiar with the furnace or air filtration system. The air filtration system was identified by model and serial number prior to visit. If Van's is not familiar with the HVAC system, they should state so before getting involved."

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.
