Derr Heating & Cooling has over 30 years experience in design, service and installation of residential and commercial HVAC systems. We only install our own products to ensure our guarantees are available to all customers. Our experience allows us to better understand the complexities of air conditioning systems that other contractors overlook. While other companies want to stay within certain guidelines that make it easier for them, what we call "cookie cutter" options, we are willing to think outside of the box and provide creative yet simple solutions to complex comfort challenges. While many companies refuse to work on specialty systems, Derr Heating has the experience to service and install almost any type of heating and cooling system.

"My problem is the invoice. It was changed to reflect an increase by $81.00 plus tax. The diagnostic was quoted to me as $139.00 plus tax on two different occasions. The additional $81.00 charge was to “test breaker” which is apparently not included as part of the diagnostic process. The technician turned the breaker switch on and off, that is all, with nothing connected to the breaker panel to make any reading. That is what cost $81.25. I was told by the technician I could pay by check. I have no checks, but, if I had given a check to the technician right then it would’ve been $139.00 plus tax. That’s the billing he showed on his tablet and what I signed for with NO indication of any additional costs. I understand additional costs but we’re supposed to be informed beforehand when there are or may be additional charges. That didn’t happen My heating definitely works now but I don’t have a clear understanding of what he did. I had already checked my breaker panel several times to make sure the switch was on when the problem started. He told me my thermostat in the living room might need to be replaced. Again the only “test” for the breaker panel was turning the switch off and on with nothing connected to give any sort of reading. He definitely tested the heaters using whatever gauge he connected to the heaters and told me they were old but getting sufficient power."

We at Allred Heating, Cooling and Electrical hope to become your trusted friends and partners in keeping your homes safe, comfortable, and a pleasant environment for you and your families. How Allred Got Started Our company was founded by Dan and Matt who discovered they had complimentary areas of expertise. Matt began as an electrician about a decade ago and besides doing electrical work began working with HVAC as well. Dan had been doing contractor work in Alaska and when they met they realized they were a perfect match to begin a business, hence Allred Heating, and Cooling and Electrical. Between the two of them all of the right bases were covered to offer complete electrical and HVAC systems, both installation and repair. Allred Heating Family Hopes to Help Your Family We are a family owned company and we know how important it is to keep our homes working economically and safely. We hold ourselves and our work to the highest standards and that is why we offer a one year parts and labor guarantee. We are bonded, licensed and insured to and we’d like to show you why you can have the utmost confidence in us. We will give you upfront estimates so you’ll know what your bottom line will be.

"I recommended AllRed to my mother, they told her that they would give her a 10% discount on the phone when she called. They only gave her a 5% discount, they also didn't provide any information about the system? No information was provided also about health of system or checkpoint system used; (PSI of freon, lubrication, filters, drain lines, etc) When I called up Allred and asked for them to provide the 10% discount like they promised they said they would, and she would see it on her Credit Card. A couple of weeks went by and nothing. I called again, they apologized and said they would follow up ensure that the service team sent the information to us and provided the discount and called me back directly. After another week, NOTHING! While the work was completed successfully. The communication and follow up of this company are terrible to say the least. I wouldn't recommend Allred to anyone, or trust them at all :-("

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.
