Providing quality service for the past 22 years, Aire Serv is your single source for heating and air conditioning. We look forward to helping you!

"Our A/C went out and Aire Serv was quick to schedule and identify the problem that required us to replace the unit. They came back the very next day for the install and did great work! They even re-routed some of our pipes for easier access rather than leaving them where they were. It seemed a bit expensive to me at first, but worth it for the quality and service in the long run."

"I call and ask for the furnace tune up as advertised before winter, The Tec was here about 2 hours looking at the furnace and did a thorough job in my opinion of checking all component's. What was unbelievable is he did not clean the furnace when he had it apart. the tec leave a furnace tune up inspection and it state furnace not cleaned in inspection. If you state blower motor dirty on inspection and do take two minutes to clean it is simple unacceptable from a customer service standpoint. How we miss Dave old company these folks have lost my business, and I spent $20K over the last 10 years on equipment and service, Anyone having an alternative recommendation please post."

"The person who showed up explained the owner of the business (Jeremy) who was supposed to show up had a bigger job. The person who came arrived 1 hour late, in a small car, and the only tool he had was a screw driver. He said he was learning and didn’t know anything about April Air. He tightened a pipe and said all is good. We had water on the floor again the next day. I put in a call to Jeremy at JD heating. That call was NEVER returned. Fortunately he did not send a bill. We would not have paid it anyway. This company was totally unprepared, not knowledgeable and unprofessional. DO NOT PATRONIZE."

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.
