"I thought listening to recommendations on Angi would be the right way to go, man was I wrong. I called them about a water leak at a cutoff valve and when they arrived late, they charged me over $400 to replace the cutoff valve. Then gave me an estimate to replace water lines through the attic instead of having them under the slab as they are now, If water leaks in the attic would not you think that would make a worse mess and damage? But the kicker is they gave me an estimate of over $9,000 to do this which one person to do the work and would take one day? $9,000? Were the new water lines going to be made from gold or what? Never again will I call them."

Wherever you see the name Aire Serv, you can expect quality services and customer attention.

"Would give 0 stars if possible. The overall process with this company was a nightmare! In the first meeting was led to believe that this was a large company.. come to find out they only had 1 employee and used subcontractors to install. To list the initial problems: Wrong equipment ordered and installed Wrong refrigerant used compared to agreed upon quote Work until after midnight No way to install air filters Time promised - initially was told 1 day… but became 2 weeks Upon mentioning these issues, the price was adjusted to match the frustration - and was promised that they did not do business this way. Hired them for a second phase of our overall install project - only ran into the same kinds of issues - never shows up when promised, always running behind, don’t do the promised work. Overall - an absolute pain to work with! Even today, came to finally fix the original air filter issue - but took the old grate and added hinges instead of fixing as promised. DO NOT HIRE!"

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.
