Reilly’s Handyman Services are a third-generation, father-and-son, family-owned business. We registered our business with Wake County in 2004, have city licenses and have $1M of project insurance. We understand how difficult it can be to find a contractor that provides you with high-quality craftsmanship and affordable prices without sacrificing quality. That’s why we provide our customers with honest, professional and reliable services for their home improvement and renovation needs. We have developed a reputation for handling any size project efficiently and quickly for residential properties. Our goals over the years have always been to provide customers with exceptional services focused on their individual needs. 10 employees. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Family owned.

"I chose Reilly because of the many great reviews on Angi—and here’s mine: trust this team. They were thorough, professional, and highly skilled. They completed a full tear-down and rebuild of my deck, and it looks fantastic. The price was also competitive, which I truly appreciated. As a widow, I’ve sometimes been treated differently during home projects—but that was absolutely not the case here. Every member of the Reilly team treated me with honesty, respect, and professionalism. I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I’ll definitely use Reilly again and highly recommend them."

Our mission is to help with updating, repairs or routine maintenance of your household. With experience in different trades, we can take care of multiple areas without the headache of finding different companies.

"Our home required rotten wood to be replaced in a number of areas that were exposed to water runoff from poorly installed gutters. Heath did an initial assessment of the work required but advised it could change once he got behind the rotten boards to see the extent of the damage. Of course there were more replacements needed and the price went up but in the end he and his team did a great job getting the work completed. Would definitely hire H&H again in the future."

We are a small town, locally owned business with over 25 years in the industry. We pride ourselves on our customer service, expert knowledge of the rapidly changing HVAC standards, and competitive prices. Our belief is better air, better life!

"It went very well. Took a bit longer than expected. Only because someone took his puller, but he pushed through and got it done. What was really nice is that even though a mix up occurred and the unit didn't get registered after it was installed as this was new construction with a custom builder. Dolan honored their 10 year contract."

3-4 employees, no subs, free estimates. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charge. No emergency service.

"Our project was to replace a deck with a new larger one and build a roof over it. I was nervous about hiring a contractor but Hugo was recommended by a friend. « Go with Hugo, he did a superb job of carpentry in my house ! ». I am so grateful to her! I did hire Hugo. As for his work, the words “top-notch”, “first-rate” come to mind. He and his crew are outstanding professionals. The whole construction was done with such care and proficiency. My husband and I are delighted with the result. Hugo’s work was not inexpensive but I did not want to end up with a car port ! Considering that we got exactly what we wanted, with the quality of both material and workmanship, we felt it was a fair deal. Also, I appreciated Hugo’s passion for his own work and the advice of an experienced builder. As a bonus, he was completely trustworthy, showing up when he said he would, meeting all date-lines, explaining small delays while waiting for Inspections from our County, etc… and taking care of “everything”, like permits or attending to last minute requests. And then, there is another aspect of the total experience: giving us peace of mind instead of worries.. That, to me, was very valuable."

FAQs for window a/c unit installation projects in Durham, NC

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.
