Do you service emergencies after-hours?

Yes, we offer emergency services 24-hours a day, year-round.

How much will my service cost?

The size and complexity of your HVAC issue will determine the cost. Because our trained, licensed HVAC technicians must diagnose the issue before we are able to quote you an accurate cost, we require an appointment to be set to complete a diagnostic on your system. Once the diagnostic is complete, your One Hour(R) technician will walk you through all costs using our Straightforward Pricing(R) Guide so there are never any surprise fees.

How often should I service my HVAC system?

It's ideal to service your cooling system each spring and your heating system each fall to ensure you find small issues before they become big problems.

How often do I need to change my HVAC filter?

Your filter should be changed every one to three months, depending on conditions in your home and your region's climate.

Do you offer purchase financing?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore comfort in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

What are the advantages of a smart Thermostat?

Smart thermostats learn a household's patterns and adjust heating and cooling according to when a home is occupied, give homeowners the ability to control the thermostat remotely, and enable homeowners to reduce their energy use, saving you money.

HVAC means Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems refer to air conditioners, furnaces, and any unit that cools indoor spaces during the summer and warm them in the winter. In general, an HVAC system takes in air, heats or cools that air, and blows it into a room or any indoor space. While many homes have separate air conditioning and heating units, others have a heat pump that cools and heats the house. Not only do HVAC systems maintain desired temperatures, but they also improve indoor air quality and regulate humidity levels. But most importantly, these units provide comfort all year round.

What is a SEER Rating?

The SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is a measure of the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.The higher the SEER rating, the more efficiently a unit operates. The SEER rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 21.

“Chris arrived promptly on time, having called in advance to let me know he was on his way. He immediately put on shoe covers before entering my house. Not only was he professional, knowledgeable and obviously experienced, he was very nice and friendly. He was also very efficient and didn’t waste time but he was thorough and communicated the problems well. I highly recommend this company and will continue to use them myself.”

“Got to our second home day before Easter and discovered our AC didn’t work and we were hosting the next day. Called multiple companies but only one responded. Chris Lucky drove 2 hours and arrived at our condo at 8:45 PM and fixed it. But that’s not the best part of the experience. The best part was Chris, I would have walked away from the experience happy even if he couldn’t fix it. Chris was professional and engaging and made the process awesome. Can’t recommend this company enough. They saved our Easter celebration and we are grateful.”

“Google review Another great experience: James had outstanding service. He was honest with me about an oversight that a previous technician made, thus saving me a service charge. I work in a customer service industry and can totally understand that oversights can happen, but it’s how you handle the situation. What I appreciate and value is the honesty far above anything else. So this time I did purchase the surge protector bc I can now fully trust this company. In fact I’m calling a family member today to recommend One Hour for her AC needs.”
