At A-TEMP Heating & Cooling, we often hear horror stories from customers who've been duped by unscrupulous HVAC specialists. Scams that revolve around improving air quality are all too common. Be on the watch for the following rip-offs currently making the rounds.
Mold Tests
Every homeowner worries about mold contaminating their living spaces. As such, it's easy for disreputable HVAC technicians to play on those fears and recommend expensive mold treatments based on dubious test results. The reality is that there's no universally recognized threshold level for mold in ducts that suggest the need for remediation measures. If an HVAC company tries to sell you on expensive mold cures, get a second opinion before taking action.
VOC Filters
Volatile organic compounds can pose a threat to human health in high concentrations. Some heating and cooling companies will claim that the installation of expensive adsorption filters will virtually eliminate VOCs from interior air. In truth, adsorption filters aren't a magic bullet that will trap every kind of VOC that may be present in your home. You'll need the right kind of filters for your specific situation to deal with VOCs effectively.
Air Duct Cleaning
Many homeowners continue to believe that regular cleaning of their HVAC ducts will dramatically improve indoor air quality. The fact of the matter is that HVAC filters are largely responsible for keeping the air clean inside your dwelling. For the most part, cleaning ducts will simply make your heating and cooling system more efficient. What's more, you don't need to have ducts cleaned more than once a year to yield positive results.

A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical came recommended from a friend who is a current inspector. I've used them for years for furnace and AC maintenance. Their customer service is excellent—helpful, friendly, and persistent in scheduling my maintenance. I appreciate that they've never pushed to replace my old furnace but instead helped me decide when to repair or replace without being pushy about sales. Finding trustworthy repair folks is hard, and I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.
A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical goes above and beyond to take care of their customers. I've been a customer for years and am impressed with the technicians and office staff. The fact that this is a family business is also a plus. Thank you.
A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical did a wonderful job. They were on time, wore shoe coverings, and worked diligently. They replaced our air filter and an electrical part under warranty, explaining everything clearly. The work was clean and professional, and the team was congenial and pleasant.
Everyone we’ve dealt with has been polite, positive, and very courteous. A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical quickly replaced our furnace during the coldest part of a snowy winter. Other companies couldn’t get out for 1-2 weeks, but A-TEMP assessed it the same day and replaced it in 2 days. Can’t say enough great things about this company!
