Worley's Home Services Our Vision - Worley Home Services will honor and glorify GOD with the work done by our hands, our finances will always support our community and ministries, destined to be the most recognized, respected, and sought-after company by customers, as well as current and future employees Our Mission Statement - Worley’s Home Services mission is to be Hampton Roads Leader in providing customers with a "ONE STOP” solution for our clients and their home.

"My experience with Jason and his partner was great, and they did a wonderful job with the install of my light/ceiling fixture. The only reason why I did not give a full 5 stars is because I wish the company had more price transparency or a page where I could have seen how much the job could cost (a price range would have been fine) based on whatever factors ahead of time. It costs $90 for someone to look at the project, then they tell you once they’re there what the full cost will be, so I kind of felt like it’d be a waste of money not to hire them at that point. Again, the technicians were great, just wish more possible pricing information was available ahead of time."

"Outstanding customer service from Marc and the owner Todd. First they responded to the request within minutes, set up a time were at my home in a little over an hour. Identified the issue in minutes and started to make the repair. In least than an hour we had AC restored. Todd spent time with me and went over all the new products to replace my 25 year old system thats on its last legs. Sent his designer to my home and hour later and Rusty had a quote for a full replacement of 2 units in the future. Repair price was very fair and totally upfront with the cost, no hidden fees or tac ons. These guys were friendly and polite and a high end crew who really probably didnt need to take such a small job but myself and my family thank you Todd and Marc !! I will be recommending to friends and neighbors in the future."

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.
