"Amazing family owned company. Helped us with replacing our ageing HVAC system. We had quotes from 5 different companies and they were an easy choice. Kris(the owner) took his time evaluating our existing system and making sure we were properly informed and educated about the options, made suggestions for things that we could address on our own and caught a number of things that all the other contractors had missed. If you're in the market for a new HVAC system, needing repairs, or just want to see what improvements could be made to your existing setup I 100% recommend giving them a call!"

Worley's Home Services Our Vision - Worley Home Services will honor and glorify GOD with the work done by our hands, our finances will always support our community and ministries, destined to be the most recognized, respected, and sought-after company by customers, as well as current and future employees Our Mission Statement - Worley’s Home Services mission is to be Hampton Roads Leader in providing customers with a "ONE STOP” solution for our clients and their home.

"My experience with Jason and his partner was great, and they did a wonderful job with the install of my light/ceiling fixture. The only reason why I did not give a full 5 stars is because I wish the company had more price transparency or a page where I could have seen how much the job could cost (a price range would have been fine) based on whatever factors ahead of time. It costs $90 for someone to look at the project, then they tell you once they’re there what the full cost will be, so I kind of felt like it’d be a waste of money not to hire them at that point. Again, the technicians were great, just wish more possible pricing information was available ahead of time."

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.
