"Carolina Comfort installed a new HVAC system at our home. They did a great job from the original recommendation on the type of unit- a ducted split system- to a quick scheduling of the work- and lastly installing the system. Ryan, Dylan and John were great- very polite and professional and got the system and fully installed and running within the time frame promised. Would definitely use them again."
Every great HVAC install starts with a solid plan. 📍🛠
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at one of our walkthroughs—because comfort starts long before the system’s running.

"I recently enrolled in Joes Heating and Air Repairs maintenance plan, and it has been a game-changer for maintaining my homes heating and cooling systems. This service plan has provided me with invaluable peace of mind, and I could not be happier with the results. The convenience of this plan is outstanding. Regular maintenance appointments are scheduled automatically, so I do not have to worry about remembering when to service my HVAC system. This proactive approach has undoubtedly extended the life of my equipment and ensured its optimal performance year-round. Strongly recommended!"

"We installed a 12,000 BTU split AC system to cool an enclosed balcony in our 70 year old church. The installation was much more difficult than at first appeared. A special drill was rented to bore a 3 inch hole through a full foot of extremely hard brick. This took a couple of extra hours. Then electric connections had to made running about 100 feet through a crawl space crowded with central AC ducts installed by another company. This was extremely difficult and time consuming. When it was all done the entire job took several hours more than projected. Advanced Air stuck by their original estimate even though it was obvious that they lost their profit on this job due to the unanticipated difficulties. The management and workers were careful and respectful throughout the process. The final result was attractive, functional and all the difficulties were out of sight. Great job!!!"

"My wife and I have owned our commercial building for 20 years and have dealt with four or five HVAC companies. We needed to replace our old HVAC units and O’Brien was highly recommended. I cannot compliment them enough for their work! From working with them on the estimate to the installation, they were efficient, professional and offered suggestions that saved me money. They communicated with us and followed through on all commitments. They will have all of our business from now on!"

"Anderson Air replaced the heat pump in our old home. The new unit was up running within 24 hours of agreeing to term. The installation was performed exactly how it was described to me. They were very professional and because they did such a great job, I have continued to use them at our new home, which has older units. One unit is a carrier system, which is the same age as the house. It would had some less than stellar repairs done to it previously, so when it broke down again, the job was much worse than I would have anticipated. Nonetheless, AA was able to source the parts necessary and got the job done. I strongly recommend AA for any heating and/or air repairs/installations you might need. PS. They also have someone who services gas fireplaces! We utilized this as well."

"I retained Advanta Clean, represented by Tim Kiser, to
provide surface mold remediation which was caused by excess humidity in my home
due to an air conditioning problem. Tim and his crew did an exceptional job.
The crew was meticulous and very conscientious working to remove the mold yet
at the same time causing no damage to the walls and surfaces. They were careful
to cover furniture and fixtures and 
treated my home as if it were their own. More importantly, Tim
guaranteed his work, assuring passage of mold clearance by an independent lab
before final payment was due. I highly recommend Tim Kiser and Advanta Clean
for mold remediation.

FAQs for ducts & vents installation and replacement projects in Wilmington, NC

Return air vents aren't required in every room, but proper placement is essential for system efficiency. According to industry standards, you'll need one return vent for every 100 to 150 square feet of living space. Ideally, each room would have its own return vent, especially larger rooms exceeding 100 square feet. 

Without adequate return airflow, your HVAC system works harder, energy costs increase, and comfort decreases. A professional assessment can determine the optimal number and placement of return vents for your specific home layout.

Signs that your home needs additional return air vents include rooms that feel consistently stuffy, noticeable temperature variations between rooms, doors that slam shut when the HVAC system operates, or unexpectedly high energy bills. Excessive dust accumulation around supply vents can also indicate inadequate return airflow. 

If you experience these issues, consulting with an HVAC professional can help determine if adding return vents would improve your system's performance.

Supply vents deliver conditioned air into your living spaces, while return air vents draw room air back to your HVAC system for reconditioning. Supply vents push treated air into rooms, while return vents pull air from rooms back toward your heating and cooling equipment. 

Both components are essential for proper air circulation and system balance. Without sufficient return capacity, your HVAC system may experience pressure imbalances that reduce efficiency and comfort.

You should inspect and clean your return air vents at least once annually, according to industry recommendations. However, homes with pets, allergy sufferers, or noticeable dust buildup may benefit from more frequent cleaning. 

Regular maintenance helps maintain good indoor air quality and ensures your HVAC system operates efficiently. Professional duct cleaning, which addresses the entire system beyond just the visible vents, is recommended every few years, depending on your home's specific conditions.
