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.

“Unfortunately, my technician wasn’t listed on the site. So I can’t mention him by name and I don’t believe he gave me his name. Can’t be too sure. Great service as always second time I’ve used this company hands-down the best. Technician was informative gave me every step that he was doing asked if everything was OK and to my liking. Worked with me around my animal and very clean will definitely be a repeat customer for the third time.”

“Very professional and courteous person. Very experienced in his job. Years ago we had to replace our furnace due to burst pipes in the winter time. During the furnace he noticed two out of the way locations (before the repair plumber arrived) where a water line had broke—he just did the repair and continued with the furnace installation. A definite factor in purchasing the new furnace from the same company.”

“Today, Jose came out because we had a river flowing from our furnace. Turned out to be a clogged drain pipe for the humidifier. He cleared everything out, dried everything, cleaned up everything and got everything working excellently again at a great price for an emergency service call! Been a customer for 20+ years and plan to continue to be for the next 20 years! Thanks so much One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning!”
