Since 1883 McQuillan Home Services has been Minnesota’s Original plumbing, heating, and cooling company. At McQuillan we’ve always remained true to our mission of providing solid, honest work to all our customers. Join the McQuillan Home Services family as we continue to raise the bar and provide generations of happy customers with quality plumbing, heating, AC, electrical, and drains service.
"Oh, how I wish there were a grade lower than F. McQuillan managed to provide both poor customer service *and* bad technical work. The company came out to do a full replacement of our A/C unit and furnace, switching to minisplits and a boiler/radiator system. The minisplit side of the equation went just fine. The rest has been a disaster. This all started the first week of August, so they would have plenty of time to get the work done before winter...so we thought. Instead the installed the boiler incorrectly, causing it to make loud noises and not actually provide any hot water. After calling five times and having two missed appointments, they finally sent out a plumber who informed us that it was so badly screwed up, an entire crew would have to come out and fix it (which they eventually did, two whole weeks later). It took three people nine hours (!!) to fix whatever they did wrong. Now on to the radiators. Several were backordered to the first week of September, obviously not their fault. Once they called us to say the new radiators were ready for installation, they couldn't "fit us into their schedule" for three more weeks! When they did show up, we found one radiator completely missing, two ordered in the wrong finish, and several others that couldn't be installed because they didn't have the right parts and weren't sure how to get them (WHAT?). And, this is a minor issue compared to everything else, but they ask you to pay as you go, so every time someone shows up they want to collect money. Multiple times we've asked to see an itemized bill so we know what all our payments have gone to (this is a large job and we just want to keep track of everything), but we still have yet to see a single invoice or receipt of our payment. Which brings us to today. We're not currently on their schedule at all. Half of our radiators are installed, but none are active on the system, so we have no heat. It's early October, and the temperature tonight is supposed to reach 35 with a frost warning (which is one things for my husband and I, but we also have three kids under the age of 6). We've called multiple times the past two days and no one will call or email us back to tell us when we are actually going to have heat. I'm extremely close to reporting them to the BBB and calling a different company to finish the job so we can stay warm. I wouldn't wish McQuillan on my worst enemy."

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.
