"We have been waiting for a call back for over 2 weeks. We had a 4k job to ground our above round pool a month ago. We need the inspection certificate to pass the village inspection. It failed after the first try so the company sent someone else to fix the issue in order to be complaint with our village. We waited from 12p-9p for someone to show up. We received a call late that night that they couldn't come and would come the following day. The electrician finally came 7 days ago. He "fixed the issue". He stated we would receive the inspection shortly. The inspection company just "needed a picture" of the change to approve it. My husband has called Universe several times. Left several messages for the DOO with no response. He just got off the phone with a "Chris S" who says he is a project coordinator. He argued with my husband stating, "we are at the mercy of the inspection company". Universe chose this inspection company! We paid for it! Our village inspector is coming tomorrow (appointment made three weeks ago thinking this would be resolved) and we still have no electrical inspection. My husband had surgery Monday and is supposed to be healing. I NEVER write bad reviews..i try to resolve first but I have nowhere else to go. All I need is the inspection certificate! My next step will be to stop payment. UGH..what is so difficult here?"

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.
