Providing quality service for the past 22 years, Aire Serv is your single source for heating and air conditioning. We look forward to helping you!

"Our A/C went out and Aire Serv was quick to schedule and identify the problem that required us to replace the unit. They came back the very next day for the install and did great work! They even re-routed some of our pipes for easier access rather than leaving them where they were. It seemed a bit expensive to me at first, but worth it for the quality and service in the long run."

Top Dog Cleaning Crew™ is a locally owned family business servicing the entire metro area. We are a completely GREEN company that specializes in pet stain and odor removal and we are here to meet all your carpet, upholstery, area rugs, and air duct cleaning needs. Top Dog Cleaning Crew™ uses only truck-mounted equipment with hot water extraction that leaves zero residue in your carpets. When combined with our superior certified green deodorizers and stain removers you are left with a 100% chemical and residue free cleaning that is safe for all the members of your family! Rest assured all Top Dog Cleaning Crew™ employees are background checked and certified so you can trust and feel safe with who your are letting in your home!

"I just recently had a duct cleaning done by a reputable company after moving into another home. The time and manner in which they performed the service was well beyond what I had experienced with Top Dog. So, that is why this complaint is being filed after more than 1 yr. Top Dog advertised (and still do) $99 for 10 ducts and $15 for each additional duct. Also, they said there would be an additional nominal charge for being outside of their normal area. My home had 14 ducts, so the service charge should have been $159; however, they charged $400 plus $30 tax. In addition for the exorbitant bill, only one guy was there for 1 hr, failed to clean several of the ducts, and instead of using a large vacuum hose placed at the furnace plenum and compressed air via the vents, they only used a small brush ad vacuum hose via the vents. Clearly, I received unsatisfactory service (now that I know how it should be done) and was grossly overcharged. Its outrageous that Top Dog has an A+ rating with the BBB. I would never recommend their service and disgusted that they are still in operation."

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
