Downing's staff were pleasant, neat & efficient in installing a replacement for my nonfunctioning 38 year old electric furnace.

Consumer from Kentfield, CA
Nov 25, 2021

Spent way too much time trying to diagnose the problem, then said could not fix it. Charged $400 and I got no value at all. Called another HVAC Company, they came out, quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it - for $200.

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
