"I have used them multiple times and this year the prices were much higher than I have ever spent for the same service. They charged $228 to re-fill 1lb of coolant. You can buy R410 for around $6/lb in 25lb quantities. That's a 3700% markup! Even if it took the guy an hour to fill the coolant (and it was a lot closer to 10 minutes), that's still astronomical. For the 2nd pound of coolant, they only charged 129.64, reducing the markup to 2000%. How kind of them?! What's worse is that I tried to get them to commit to their coolant pricing on the phone and they wouldn't. Instead, the tell you once you have them there and would have to pay for another service charge to bring an alternative provider out to your house. They offer a reasonable price to inspect your system, but then grossly over-charge to address anything they find. It's the oldest trick in the book. Don't fall for it. I had used them twice before this time and trusted that their pricing would be fair. I was wrong and based on my experience, I can't recommend them to anyone else. You'll likely save money going with the other many reputable people in our area. Almost $500 to spend about an hour to inspect 1 AC system and add 2LBs of coolant that costs $6/lb. Ouch!"

"I am very pleased with the work done for me last week in repairing my gas furnace. Another company had tried to repair it and could not and was in the process of ordering a very expensive replacement part(s) when I decided to cancel and look for help elsewhere. I contacted your office and your tech came out…diagnosed the problem…then proceeded to correct the problem without the need for expensive new parts. Your tech took the time to dissemble and locate the failed element which basically only required slight adjustment to correct completely! The cost was minimal compared to what the cost of replacement components would have been! Your tech knew his stuff and was great! I’m so glad I’ve found a company I can trust to do the job correctly!!"

"Excellent service, very fast response to my request for service, picked up laptop, diagnosed issues. Initially thought it was an OS update issue but the hard drive had failed along with other components (including 'CPU). Because other components were involved, a new solid state hard drive was put into a laptop with a working processor - same type CPU as in the failed unit. The laptop was repaired and returned in less than a week. This company picked up and dropped off the laptop (driving from Huntsville, AL (about 60-70 minutes)-- great service in this covid environment. I would recommend this company to my family./friends and will use again."

"One Source just saved me from replacing my entire system. I called One Source after getting a repair quote from another HVAC company that told me my compressor was bad and tried to sell me a new system. One Source tech came out a few hours later and replaced a solenoid and had my ac cooling immediately afterwards. The tech was very knowledgeable and helpful."

FAQs for electrical baseboard or wall heater service projects in Birmingham, AL

Electric baseboard heating costs an average of $400 per month for a 1,200-square-foot house. Your monthly cost can vary depending on factors such as regional climate, energy usage, and the efficiency of your system. Improving insulation and using zone heating can help manage operational expenses. Local electricity rates have a significant impact on costs, with some areas experiencing rates that are up to 50% higher than the national average. Older units are less efficient, resulting in higher monthly heating costs.

Electric convection baseboard heaters are less energy-efficient because they lose heat rapidly after being in active operation. Their design causes rapid heat dissipation, which forces the heater to consume extra energy to maintain the desired temperature. This increased energy consumption is a direct result of the rapid loss of stored heat, reducing overall energy efficiency. Despite this drawback, these heaters are designed for longevity and can operate effectively for over 20 years, making them a durable and long-term option for providing warmth in your home.

Baseboard heaters offer precise room-by-room temperature control, and their installation costs $100 to $150 per room. In contrast, forced-air systems cost $5,000 for a moderately sized house but include features like dehumidifiers and central air conditioning. While baseboard heaters convert energy directly into heat, forced-air systems can increase your home's resale value and adaptability. When deciding between the two, consider both the installation costs and monthly energy expenses to determine which option best fits your long-term needs.

Electric baseboard heaters should be replaced when they no longer provide consistent and steady warmth and when repair costs continually outweigh the benefits of keeping the current unit. They need to be replaced as soon as persistent issues occur that indicate the unit's degradation. Clear signs for replacement include visible corrosion, slow heating response, and diminished heat output. Allowing these problems to persist not only increases energy consumption but also poses safety risks. Upgrading to a modern heating system ensures improved energy efficiency and reliability, providing a safer and more reliable heating solution for your home.
