"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.

"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 Outdated Controller with Irreparable Software: To add insult to injury, we were handed an outdated controller with software so archaic it couldn't even be updated.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!"

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.
