"Premium Home services is a scam..their customer sevice does not do anything about refunding back expensive, terrible and unfinished work. They hang up on you and give you the run around to speak with a so called manager. They send a so called professional to do the work, ask for a ridiculous amount of service call out fee and don't finish the job. The tech was unorganized and shows up hours late. Don't recommend the company."

Landes Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. is family owned and operated, and has been in business in since 1948. We install heat pumps, oil & gas furnaces, indoor air quality products, and provide air duct cleaning service. We operate our own custom sheet metal shop which utilizes a computer automated plasma cutter. Landes Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. Now serves an area spanning north to Winchester, east to the Blue Ridge Mountains, south to Lexington, and west to Franklin, West Virginia. Our founder, Rev. Olen B. Landes (retired), converted a chicken house into what was then named Landes Sheet Metal Shop and opened for business on January 1, 1948. His first job was to fix a mailbox for a neighbor for which he charged 25¢. Rev. Landes started out with one employee and a utility trailer he pulled behind his 1937 Ford 66 horsepower car.

"Service person called BEFORE arriving and arrived on time. He was courteous and professional and completed the service in a timely manner. We have found that Landes' employees are the same from year to year, a good indication that their employees are satisfied, trained and competent--very important when evaluating a company."

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.
