Founded in 1984, Advanced Heating & Air Conditioning (AHAC) initially operated as Alpha Oil Company until 2000 when it transitioned exclusively to HVAC services. Established by brothers Lou and Danny Roerig, the business flourished under Danny's leadership until his retirement in 2009. The company, now helmed by nephews Louis & Nicholas, continued its upward trajectory by acquiring local HVAC businesses from 2010 to 2012, such as Advance Service Inc. & Ship Mechanical. Serving Warren, Hunterdon, and Middlesex Counties in New Jersey, as well as Lehigh and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania, AHAC has built a strong reputation for exceptional customer service since its inception. Today, it remains committed to growth and customer satisfaction, adapting to meet the evolving needs of its expanding clientele.

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.
