"5-Stars for Shawn at Precision Air! We were looking for a dependable and experienced HVAC technician when it came time to replace our furnace and add AC. We discovered Shawn at Precision Air and couldn't be happier with our choice. Shawn was incredibly professional and responsive from the start. He listened to our requirements and explained all of our choices. He also provided us with a detailed and reasonable quotation. Shawn got right to work on the day of the installation and arrived on time. He took great care with his work and made sure everything was done correctly. He also took the time to instruct us on how to use our new system. Even after the installation, Shawn's follow-up was excellent. He contacted us many times to guarantee that everything was working effectively and to finish the final inspection after being paid. For all of your HVAC requirements, we strongly suggest Shawn at Precision Air. He is a real professional who is proud of his work and who we will surely hire again in the future."

Sierra Pacific Home and Comfort, Inc., is a locally owned and operated HVAC company whose corporate headquarters are located in Rancho Cordova, California. Our company was founded in 1984 and is now the area's largest full-service, home energy improvement provider. We currently operate four divisions and employ well-trained experts who are skilled at energy efficiency upgrades for home and office. We are uniquely qualified to assist our clients to understand and implement a variety of improvements that will reduce their energy consumption and cut or even eliminate their monthly electric bills. We have built an impressive client list of over 36,000 who have benefited from improving energy efficiency in their homes. Jason Hanson Sierra Pacific President

"Title: "Nightmare Experience: Sierra Pacific's Shoddy Workmanship Costs Thousands in Damages!" Review: â­ ï¸ â â â â If I could turn back time, I would've never trusted Sierra Pacific with my solar installation. The nightmare began just over a year ago, and it's been a cascade of disappointment ever since. Here's a chronicle of the chaos they've caused: 1. Sloppy Installation, Sloppier Paint Job: The first red flag was the haphazard painting of the piping leading up to the roof. It clearly indicated that attention to detail was not a priority for Sierra Pacific. Paint can be fixed, but thousands of gallons of water piped over your home pool solar needs to be treated with care, and they failed from day one. 2. Outdated Controller with Irreparable Software: To add insult to injury, we were handed an outdated controller with software so archaic it couldn't even be updated. This left our system struggling from day one, unable to perform at its full potential. 3. Leak-Induced Gutter Disaster: After just a little over a year, we're now dealing with water leaks that have wreaked havoc on our high-end leaf guard gutters. Thousands of dollars in damages later, it's clear Sierra Pacific's negligence has come at a steep cost. 4. Deceptive Monthly Service Scam: We fell prey to their monthly service, only to realize it's nothing short of a sham. Technicians breeze through the work, missing glaring installation failures that any competent professional should have caught. 5. Radio Silence from Management: In the face of these mounting issues, I made numerous attempts to reach out to a manager, but not a single call was returned. It's disheartening to see such a lack of accountability and customer care. It's imperative to share this experience so others can avoid the headache and financial burden that comes with choosing Sierra Pacific. Don't let their flashy promises fool you â beneath the surface lies a company that falls egregiously short on quality, professionalism, and accountability. Buyer beware!"

"The technician disassembled my Honeywell air purifier system and left the door off and filters out in the attic without telling me. The technician stated there were no issues with the attic ducting, and even wrote on the work order "Duct work in good shape". I found 7 breaches in the duct system and repaired them when I checked for myself. The technician charged to change out the system filter, which I had purchased independently. The technician took it upon himself to wash and service the outside condenser, when his work order clearly says "Duct Bid". The technician was cursing under his breath in front of my girlfriend and her son after I told him over the phone he needed to return and recheck the attic duct system. He said he didnt know what he was supposed to be checking in the first place."

"They destroyed the whole pipes that caused flooding to my neighbors. The water was off and every other day we need to go out to the street to turn it on. This company denied the responsibility but later reimbursed me for the first leak repair after employee acknowledging doing partial work. This project aims to address and fix the extensive leaks. Must be completely replaced, cause of leaks appears to be from over heating of the copper as locations are at ALL connections and bends in the pipe, too much to patch.

Ducts & vents installations and replacements FAQs

A dryer vent allows warm, moist air from inside the clothes dryer unit to escape to the outdoors. Without one, the warm air and moisture remain in your home, leading to mold, rot, and higher cooling bills over time. This project requires cutting a hole in the exterior of your home, so you should hire a professional contractor or carpenter to perform the work.

Use rigid metal when the duct runs behind walls, under floors, or through ceilings—it’s durable and clears lint efficiently. Semi‑rigid metal works well for short, visible sections that need a little flexibility. Your installer will match the material to the layout, but steer clear of flexible foil or vinyl hoses, as they can trap lint and increase the fire risk.

In tight spaces—a compact laundry room, kitchen, or bathroom—a slim or periscope duct lets the dryer sit close to the wall and still vent efficiently. This approach permits the dryer to sit close to the wall while ensuring efficient airflow. Slim vents offer a wide, rectangular design that fits perfectly in confined areas and can be installed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. If allowed by local codes, surface-mounted ductwork further enhances accessibility and safety.

Plan on hiring a dryer vent cleaning professional to visit your home once a year to keep airflow strong and reduce fire risk. Large households or extra‑long vents may need a check every six months. Regular service sweeps out lint, spots damage early, and helps the dryer run more efficiently.

Qualified professionals for dryer vent installation include HVAC installers who deliver unmatched expertise for safe, secure installations. Experienced handypersons, plumbers, and roofers also perform these projects when the job is simple or when the vent pathway is clearly accessible. An HVAC installer guarantees a proper, code-compliant installation. For complex installations involving concealed ducts or challenging routes, always choose a specialist with a solid track record.

The maximum allowable dryer vent length is set at 25 to 35 feet by local building codes. Any 90-degree turn in the vent layout reduces this maximum by five feet. This exact measurement ensures efficient airflow and minimizes lint buildup, thereby enhancing safety. Adhere to your local code requirements to guarantee a proper and safe installation.
