"They charged $98 to come give me an estimate for swapping our a shower valve cartridge, which was fine, but the pricing they provided was completely unreasonable, $1,000. They were unwilling to provide any detail for the price. I ended up buy the part myself for $30 and replaced it in 30 minutes."

Beltway Air Conditioning & Heating is locally owned & operated out of Hanover, MD. We are Lennox Premier Dealers & are BBB accredited with A+ ratings & reviews - We provide services & installations within a 50 mile radius of home base. Our team specializes in installing and servicing heating, cooling & ventilation equipment, whether it is a small A/C repair or a commercial rooftop - our team is trained to take care of all your HVAC needs! We bring extensive experience and professionalism to every home and commercial building. Our work reflects our passion! The Best Price + The Best Work = Your Best Value. We have uniformed & well-trained staff that under goes background checks and drug screening upon hire and randomly. All of our service professionals are also licensed to work in the state of Maryland.
"We are a bit disappointed by Beltway. While we do appreciate some of their efforts in trying to remedy the situation, the overall experience has been quite negative. Please see reasons below: 1. A brand new HVAC system that was installed on Wednesday completely failed by Saturday morning - which was less than 3 days of installation. This calls into question the quality of Beltway’s product or job, or both. 2. Weekend messenger centers have been extremely frustrating and unhelpful, basically saying that Beltway does not serve customers during non-business hours and that customers just have to deal with Beltway’s issues on their own. We called 4 times this weekend out of desperation. Yet each time they showed no sympathy on the fact that our baby has been suffering through the 80 to 90-degree heat trying to nap. 3. A weekend technician was finally sent on late Sunday afternoon (thanks to owner’s stepping in); however his timing messed up weekend plan as one of us had to stay home and completely missed our good friend’s son’s high school graduation party (now people at the party learned about Beltway…). 4. Unfortunately, this weekend technical was unable to solve the problem and decided to leave us with 2 portable cooling units, which, unfortunately, were extremely loud and inefficient in cooling down, so most of us weren’t able to sleep, just like the night before. Felt like all of their products that we’ve coped with in the past 5 days have been nothing but disappointing. 5. Finally, the full crew came on Monday. But their timing here again messed up the baby’s nap schedule - as the upstairs system was right next to the nursery. This is our first time hiring Beltway. The amount of inconvenience and frustration that they had created in the past 3 days was unbelievable. The experience has been quite negative from multiple aspects, calling into question not only their customer service ability/arrangement but also quality of their products and jobs. We don’t know if we can trust Beltway again or hire them again."

McCrea is a family owned business that has served our area since 1936. Financing and rebates are available on Trane systems installed by McCrea. Resistrictions apply and these are limited time offers call for details. "Its hard to stop a Trane"
"I had an absolutely terrible experience with McRae Air Conditioning and Heating. I purchased a home equipped with their HVAC system, and within just five months, the heat stopped working—right in the middle of winter during a snowstorm. My home was freezing at 50°F, so I called for service, which should have been covered under warranty. I scheduled an appointment, and the technician, after being several hours late, went to the wrong address, left a sticker on someone else’s door, and left without even trying to contact me. When I called back, the customer service rep was rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. He initially told me the technician was on the way and just 12 miles away—but after another hour of waiting, I called again only to be told that the technician had already “been to my house 2 hours ago” (the wrong one) and left a note. If the rep actually wanted to help, he would have told me this during my first call instead of wasting my time and leaving me sitting in the cold. Not once did the technician call me to confirm the address or check in after knocking on the wrong door. When I expressed my frustration, the rep rudely dismissed my concerns, saying, “Well, I had nothing to do with that,” and then interrupted me with, “Do you still want to rebook or not?” as if I had to stop talking or risk not getting another appointment. This was an emergency call in the middle of winter, and McRae handled it in the most unprofessional, careless, and disappointing way possible. If you’re considering using them for HVAC service, do yourself a favor and go with another company. I’ll update this review after the (hopefully successful) service call and speaking to the manager who was not there at 4 pm on a Wednesday."

If your window air conditioner is relatively new or of high quality, repairing it can restore optimal performance and protect your investment. However, for older units or those with ongoing issues, it might be more cost-effective to replace the unit to ensure long-term efficiency and reliability. Consider the unit's age, the severity of the problem, repair costs versus replacement, and energy efficiency ratings when making your decision. If repairs cost more than half the price of a new unit, replacement is typically the better option.
Window air conditioners last eight to ten years on average. After this time, you may notice decreased efficiency and component wear. Replacing an older unit can improve energy savings and provide updated features like remote controls and better overall performance. With proper maintenance including regular filter cleaning, coil checks, and professional servicing, you can maximize your unit's lifespan.
If your portable AC isn't cooling, it might have a refrigerant leak or a circuit malfunction that's preventing it from working properly. It's best to contact a local air conditioner contractor to inspect and repair the unit. If your AC is older and repairs don't fix the issue, replacing it might be the most effective solution.
Removing a wall-mounted AC costs $55 to $75. Completing the removal yourself at the end of each summer season, being sure to do so according to proper guidelines, keeps you within this cost range. Should you require professional assistance for removal and disposal, if you can't move the unit yourself, expect an added fee of $25 to $50 to the overall cost.
