I specialize in carpentry, drywall, historic plaster repair, doors, minor interior plumbing and electrical, trim, vanities, consulting - in short, whole-home repair and remodeling, with a love for historic preservation and remodeling. We also offer historic restoration consults. Check out our 4-Hour Handymam Deal. WE DO NOT DO: roofing, gutters, carpet, vinyl siding, hollow-core doors (only solid wood doors), tile, or Masonite siding. Shower door installation is not covered under any current deals, due to the higher liability. Shower door installation and removal are priced separately.

"Great Job Excellent very professional "

"I've used these guys on a few occasions and have never been disappointed with their friendliness, timeliness and the mess they DON'T leave behind. The seem to be honest in trying to assist in getting the best work for the dollar. I did, however, balk a little at the cost to install two basic bathroom sink fixtures in my second floor single sink bathrooms. I had the same guys do my double kitchen sink (to include garbage disposal) and an additional bathroom (exactly the same as the two upstairs) at almost the same cost. In any event, they do quality work and I would certainly hire them again. They've become my 'go to' plumbers."

FAQs for window a/c unit installation projects in Chester, VA

Window AC units can use a significant amount of energy. These units use about 12 to 17 kilowatt-hours per day, significantly more than a refrigerator's one to 1.5 kilowatt-hours per day. To keep your energy costs down, run your window AC only when necessary, keep doors closed to contain the cool air, regularly clean filters and coils, and seal any gaps around the unit to prevent cold air from escaping.

Inexpensive air conditioner units are often not worth it. Low-cost products from popular brands like General Electric, LG, Whirlpool, or Frigidaire may be a reasonable investment. However, putting a small, budget-friendly unit in a large room wastes energy and shortens the life span of the AC since it has to draw more power and work much harder to cool the space. The unit will consume more energy and stress the motor and other internal parts, resulting in early breakdown and costly repairs.

The best deals on window AC units come during the fall when businesses slash prices to clear out old inventory. You can also speak with your local AC installer, who may get you a good deal on a window AC unit since they have access to trade pricing. You can also watch for discontinued products and flash sales in your area.

Window AC repair costs between $110 and $390, with most people paying around $250. Parts cost between $2 and $150, with the rest going toward labor, at around $30 per hour. The occasional one-off repair or a routine AC tuneup cost $75 to $200. Servicing can keep your AC running in good condition for several more years before you need to pay for a replacement unit.

Window AC units last eight to 10 years when installed and maintained correctly. High-quality models last up to 20 years with proper care and routine maintenance. The unit’s longevity depends on its construction quality, regular cleaning, and electrical safety inspections. Keeping the filters and coils clean and addressing minor repairs promptly extends its effective performance and ensures reliable cooling.
