Ali Parnian says, "My second AC unit started blowing warm air today. I contacted Thomas at 8am and they sent a technician, James, out at 3pm and within the window promised. He tested the unit and said it was a bad capacitor. This was good news as capacitor repairs are much less expensive than repairing or replacing parts for my system. He gave me the option to buy the part and repair it myself if I was comfortable (I am relatively handy) or he could get the part an install it.This was music to my ears, a technician that is not out to try to sell me a new unit "because my unit is old" or sell me stuff I don't need.I happened to have a capacitor so I decided to switch it out myself. He even gave me tips on how to make sure I tighten the contacts and stay safe! My AC is working now and I only had to pay the service fee which was well worth it.I asked James how long he has worked for Thomas and why he switched from two other well known companies that I have heard of, and he said he likes the culture of just doing what is right for the customer. The other companies train techs to be their salesforce and turn every service call into maximizing sales and selling what benefits the company not the individual.At Thomas their technicians do what is right for the customer, I highly recommend them if you want an honest service with an honest recommendation and reasonable prices.Now it makes sense to me why the bigger franchise company's advertise to go out for no charge, its' because their goal is to make up that service charge with hundreds or thousands of unnecessary repairs.Thanks again for running a business with integrity, I think in the long run you will attract better technicians that take pride in their vocation and can sleep at night knowing they didn't rip anyone off and always do what's right.Bravo!"See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What size air conditioner do I need?

Your air conditioner should have about 20 BTU per square foot of living space, according to Consumer Reports. However, you should also account for other factors in the room. 

If it’s a very shady space, you can take off 10% of the square footage BTU calculation. If it’s sunny, add 10%. For rooms normally occupied by two or more people, you should add 600 BTU per additional person. Finally, if the room is a kitchen, add 4,000 BTU to your calculated square footage total.

Talk to an air conditioning company or HVAC professional to find out what size you should get.

What does SEER mean on an air conditioner?

The SEER label on an air conditioner stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. This is a measure of the efficiency of either an air conditioning unit or a heat pump. 

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends replacing older AC units with energy-efficient models. Contact an air conditioning company or HVAC specialist for tips on how to select a new unit.

What types of appliances can a professional install?

There are a number of different appliances that professionals can install for you, including:

  • Washers and dryers. These machines are heavy and very sensitive to being level and balanced, and also require hookups to water, electricity and sometimes gas or propane.
  • Cooking ranges. Your range may use propane or gas, which is a hookup job best left to the pros.
  • Microwaves. You may want to have your microwave be an undermount or in-mounted unit, which a pro can install and make it look seamless.
  • Refrigerators. These are heavy and often require a water hookup.
  • And more!

Reach out to an appliance installation service, and find out if they can install your appliance. Often, it’s helpful to provide the brand and model of the appliance you’re trying to set up.

What are the advantages of hiring an appliance installer?

There are several perks to having a professional install your appliances, including:

  • Hiring a pro saves you time and money. If it breaks down, the service person who sold and installed the machine can fulfill its warranty. However, this warranty could be void if you install it incorrectly.
  • It will work reliably. Many appliances like ranges and laundry machines rely on being on level surfaces as well as having potentially dangerous hookups installed correctly. 
  • You can get repair and maintenance support. If something isn’t working or you want advice, you can call up your installer and ask if they can help you troubleshoot or repair it.

How much does it cost to install appliances?

Installing a new appliance costs $125, on average. However, homeowners should expect to pay within the range of $120 to $150. 

For less complex appliance installations, you may pay a low-end cost ranging between $65 and $100. On the other hand, more complex appliances like laundry machines, ranges and other items can cost between $175 and $326 to install. Ask whichever appliance installation service you hire to give you a price quote, if possible.

Should you tip appliance installers?

You can tip appliance installers if you feel their service has gone above and beyond. A standard tip is between $10 and $20. 

Reasons you might consider tipping include a very pleasant customer service demeanor, having to carry a heavy appliance up or down the stairs, working in inclement weather, taking care not to make a mess and other acts of care and consideration. You are not obligated to leave a tip — but one is always appreciated.
