We keep your heating, cooling, and plumbing equipment working properly and performing at peak efficiency while ensuring your comfort and keeping your air safe. We guarantee 100% satisfaction with all our work. The professionals at Air Experts have been providing comprehensive HVAC services to the residents of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill since 1986.

"I needed to get an HVAC replacement for the original system in this house (18 years old) and had been putting it off the last few years with bandaids. Finally I decided I was going to replace my system. After doing some research Air Experts H&C stood out from the user reviews so I called them for an estimate. When Craig arrived he demonstrated great knowledge from the onset and was very thorough in walking through every aspect of the options and recommendations. I consulted some other options but ultimately I expected the best service and workmanship out of Air Experts so I went with them. They arrived on time, the technicans were respectful, efficient (worked all the way through until completion), and installed a quality product. The whole experience went very smoothly thanks to Craig, Dustin, and the folks at Air Experts H&C."

We know it’s tough to find a home services contractor you can trust. With over six decades of experience, Blanton’s is a Raleigh and Fayetteville mainstay. Known for our professional approach, quality products. and guaranteed workmanship, we’re proud to offer heating, cooling, plumbing and electric solutions that knock your socks off.

"Cancelled all services with Blanton as well as this well pitched Wow Service Plan. Was given a good pitch about services provided. However, after scheduling twice for services provided by service plan, only to have them cancelled and told need to reschedule. Today is was need to reschedule because they are anticipating (four days from now) a high volume of emergency calls due to cold weather and freezing temperatures. What cold weather? 52 and 43 at night are not freezing temps; 69 and 67 daytime are not freezing temps. So you reschedule appointments four days in advance with no actual justification or confirmation the day of of what you think might happen? Sounds more like laziness or a reason not to fulfill appointments made almost two weeks prior. Second, why have an online system that allows you to book an appointment and date but when you call to complete the appointment process, tell us that the dates that show on the calendar as “available” don’t actually mean they are available? The lady I spoke to said they are run by two different departments. Sounds like you need to update your systems and booking process that actually shows dates of availability so customers don’t waste time picking a date that isn’t actually available and waste time. Or get rid of calendar option altogether so you cannot select a date that isn’t in “real” time."

"Chad came out, and we had a great conversation about our project. We were very excited to work with him, and he said it would be a week or so to get back to us with a quote. After 4 weeks, I combed my email for anything I might have missed. Neither of us had an email or a VM. I sent a follow-up email, but nothing. I called and left a VM, but nothing again. We got ghosted, and it hurts. Is it so hard to just email? 'Hey, thank you for the opportunity, but we have decided to pass on your project.'"

Solar panel installations FAQs

A single Tesla Powerwall provides backup power for essential home circuits for approximately one day during an outage. This duration varies significantly based on which appliances and systems you're powering. Critical loads like refrigeration, limited lighting, internet equipment, and a few outlets might draw two to five kWh daily. With 13.5 kWh of usable capacity, careful energy management is necessary for extended outages unless you have solar panels to recharge during daylight hours.

A Tesla Powerwall can power most residential air conditioners, as its 5.8 kW continuous output handles the three to four kW requirement of standard AC units. However, running air conditioning substantially increases energy consumption, potentially depleting a single Powerwall within several hours. For meaningful climate control during extended outages, multiple Powerwall units are recommended. Solar panel integration helps replenish the batteries during daylight hours, extending your cooling capabilities.

Tesla Powerwalls qualify for the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit, which offers a 30% tax credit through 2032, followed by 26% in 2033 and 23% in 2034. This represents a tax credit (direct reduction of tax liability) rather than a deduction. To qualify, the system must be charged primarily from renewable energy sources. Additionally, many states and utilities offer supplemental incentives that further reduce effective costs. Consult with a tax professional regarding your specific eligibility and filing requirements.

Unlike conventional generators that require fuel, maintenance, and produce noise and emissions, Tesla Powerwalls operate silently and automatically without ongoing fuel costs. While generators can run indefinitely with refueling, Powerwalls have capacity limitations unless paired with solar recharging. Traditional generators cost less initially but require regular maintenance, testing, and fuel storage. Powerwalls offer additional daily benefits through energy bill management and smart home integration features that generators cannot provide, making them multifunctional investments beyond emergency backup.

Tesla Powerwall systems require minimal ongoing maintenance compared to other backup power solutions. Unlike generators with moving components requiring regular servicing, Powerwalls function virtually without mechanical intervention. The manufacturer recommends keeping the unit's surroundings clean and ensuring proper ventilation. For systems paired with solar panels, periodic panel cleaning (costing between $295 and $625) helps maintain optimal charging efficiency. The system conducts automatic self-diagnostics and receives software updates remotely, with most potential issues identified and addressed through Tesla's monitoring capabilities.
