    Signs It May Be Time for a New Air Conditioner

    While some cooling problems can be resolved with repairs, certain issues often indicate that replacement may be the more practical long-term solution. Homeowners experiencing recurring cooling issues often find that comparing repair costs with reliable AC repair and replacement options helps determine the most cost-effective path forward.

    Excellent company. Highly recommend this company for installation of mini-split AC/heat pumps. All interactions and work done was professional. Actually enjoyed working with their employees from sales to technicians. Price was very good for top rated equipment and installation.

    I’ve had a lot of work done in my home and total energy was by far the best, honest, and most professional team I have ever worked with. They started the work when promised, kept me apprised of the status and even worked to get me back a higher rebate amount. Absolutely amazing and I would recommend them everyone!

    My husband and I have been working with Total Energy for the last 3 years. Collaborating with Gerry Andusky and his crew has been a joy. Gerry, the owner of the company, is very thoughtful when considering our HVAC needs. He has consistently given us a variety of options (with reliable quotes) to solve a particular heating or air conditioniing dilemna.
