Black Diamond was here within an hour. Scott Jensen was the tech. Could not have been a better experience. He was courteous and knowledgeable. He had my AC going within an hour. And walked me through everything. What a great company and employee. Price was better than quoted from other places by hundreds. Definitely recommend Black Diamond.
Mike C. and Black Diamond did a phenomenal job at a fair price for our non-working AC. Got it up and running in an hour! Also fixed a rattling sound that we hadn’t even mentioned. Far less expensive and far more responsive than the “big names” you see on TV, one of which screwed up several things with our heating and AC. Never going back to the big companies that spend all their money on ads. I’d rather see the technicians get well paid for their excellent work.

HVAC maintenance appointments need to happen at the start of the cooling season and the heating season. In addition, you should plan to change your HVAC filter every one to three months.

No, HVAC repair needs to be handled by a qualified HVAC technician. These systems are highly complex, and poorly performed repairs could lead to a full breakdown or a shorter life span. If you are noticing any problems with your HVAC system, call a licensed technician for help.
The answer depends on the type of heating system you have. A central air conditioner lasts 10 to 15 years. Heat pumps average 15 to 20 years. If you have a ductless mini-split, you can get up to 30 years of life out of it. Furnaces have a life span between 15 and 20 years. The best way to maximize the life of your HVAC system components is with professional maintenance. Common problems with HVAC systems include:
If you have any problems like this, call for professional HVAC services.
Using your thermostat effectively will help you save money on energy costs. We recommend setting your thermostat to around 72 in the summer and about 68 in the winter. Leave the fan set to “auto” to conserve energy. When you are not home, lower your temperature in the winter to 65 and raise your temperature in the summer to 77 to conserve energy.
