"I received a finde product and good service from the company. The only issue was the original crew didn't connect the unit to the thermostat correctly and we had one cold night. We called the office and they promptly fixed the issue."

"When we were short on hot water and our furnace was on the way out, I contacted the The SaveGreen Project. They provided a list of contractors, and after numerous calls finally got through to a contractor that understood the program. Greg thoroughly explained the process, and even walked me the process, guiding us through from initial application process to final walkthrough. When Greg came out to assess our situation, he was very professional and extremely honest. He offers the best prices and uses high quality brands. His experience speaks for itself, he was the only contractor who told us we can install a tankless water heater. Additionally, he was able to help us with our failing furnace and provided one of the top systems for an extremely reasonable price. His staff is professional and clean. They put cover grip cloths to protect the floors, and were very careful when handling the equipment. Before installing the furnace and air purifier he performed a full duct cleaning. His staff was nothing short of excellent; they team showed up on time, worked efficiently, and the results speak for themselves. The level of communication speaks for itself, any questions or concerns we had Greg took the time to address and ensure we were completely satisfied. For anyone in need of plumbing, electrical work, or for any HVAC service, I highly recommend Greg and his team."

"The service from Alliance Service Pros was fantastic! Tom Kensinger was my service pro and he delivered above and beyond my expectations. The flower bed in front of my house next to the foudation was very soggy and water was coming through the foundation into my house; assumed a water or sewer leak. Chalres from Alliance pros investigated the situation, throughouly examined the situation, checked all township/state codes and then provided a compeitive quote. Two days later Tom was onsite for the repair, it was around 90-95 degrees. He hand dug 6 ft of earth to uncover a broken water line in the foundation. Tom overcame serveral challenges with main water line shutoff not working, significant flooding while digging to get the job down. He also brought a change of clothes, before coming into the house to not muddy up my house/basement. He repaired the waterline outside and through the house and then sealed the water line and the sewer line in the foundation in and out. He took care on digging to separate the mulch and dirt, so upon refilling the hole he could leave it as he left. Lastly, he hosed down all areas of my porch, driveway and sidewalk. Basically looked liked it was never touched. He worked 12 hours and promised to not leave until we had water that night. I have never seen this dedication from a trade professional before and my long review is a return in kind for the level of work he showed my family. They will be my go to plumbing professionals from now on."

"I needed a repair to my oil furnace; I received a quick call from the office and set up an appointment. Bill and Tito arrived promptly and took time to explain what the issue was and made the repair quickly. Fair price too! Later in the evening I received a call from the office, checking in to see if all went well- great customer service! From start to finish, they were professional: I highly recommend Pro Energy Solutions."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Howell, NJ

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
