FAQ

Are You Using the Right Type of AC Filter?

We recommend using filters that are best suited for your home and your household’s needs. Most homeowners use either fiberglass or pleated filters.

– Fiberglass AC Filters

These are the most popular with customers since they are also the least expensive. You can often find them selling for a dollar per piece. But you often get what you pay for—fiberglass filters are less efficient at trapping debris and will need to be replaced at least once a month, making them less cost-effective over time. The advantage, though, is that they offer better airflow.

– Pleated AC Filters

Do you have pets that shed or family members with allergies? We recommend using pleated filters (the ones that resemble “accordions”). This type of AC filter is much more effective at keeping dirt, dust, and debris from circulating through your home. Unlike fiberglass filters, they can also trap smaller particles such as dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores.

Pleated AC filters can be replaced every three months. This makes them a more cost-effective choice over the typical fiberglass filter.

What About HEPA Filters?

If you have someone in your household who suffers from respiratory problems or allergies, you may be thinking of switching your regular filter for a HEPA filter.

While this kind of filter is great at reducing the spread of allergens and irritants in your home, it works a little too well. Why is this a problem? With the ability to trap more particles and allergens, a HEPA filter can also restrict normal airflow and put a strain on your AC unit. You can solve this problem by replacing the filter more often, but this isn’t always cost-efficient.

Our HVAC experts are happy to discuss the benefits of the different filter options and help you select the right one for your family.

Customer service is great. They were able to come out the same day I called him this morning and they came out to help resolve the problem that I was having. My water is back on. Still have to wait for pipes to unfreeze. I thought the pipes frozen the wall and had broken but they were not. So hopefully once the pipes unfreeze everything will drain as it is supposed to. My technician whose name is Andy did a wonderful job. He is very professional and courteous and I appreciated his help
Always a great experience! Very nice employees! Gary is a pleasure to work with and explains everything I need to know. Fast, efficient, and kind!

Kyle M was incredibly helpful and professional. He got to our house quickly, diagnosed the problem(s) efficiently, and fixed our furnace faster than I even hoped. He explained each of the problems thoroughly and kept both myself and my partner up to date on everything. I really appreciated that he spoke to both of us rather than just speaking with my husband (something that can be unfortunately common when interacting with technicians). He was also genuinely friendly, a nice perk! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Kyle!

Purchased a new high efficiency furnace which was installed 12/09 and I could not have been more pleased with the results. The two tech's, Tyler and Tyler were professional and left my install area just like they found it. They also explained my new system thoroughly and answered all of my questions. All the people I have worked with have been competent and professional from the advisor C.J. and the initial tech McKenzie, who came on an after hours repair call, I highly recommend MasterTech.

Kyle did an absolutely fantastic job fixing my HVAC system! He replaced the broken furnace inducer motor with skill and efficiency, getting everything up and running perfectly. While working, he also noticed that my humidifier water line was broken—a problem I hadn’t even realized—and he quickly fixed that too. His attention to detail, professionalism, and quick problem-solving were truly impressive. Kyle went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. Highly recommended!

I was at a friends house when Master Tech came to fix their plumbing. A few weeks prior they fixed her heating. I was honestly surprised at how friendly the technician was (Ryan!) and how fast they found and fixed her clog. I didn't even use them myself but they charged a great rate to my friend, worked well on both of her issues (heat then plumbing) and I know if I have issues in the future who to call. I was impressed and the service wasn't even for me LOL.

We called MasterTech to come replace our water softener and Gary, our technician, did a fantastic job- I highly recommend! He was very professional, friendly, and was quick to get the work done we needed. He arrived on time, and within a short amount of time had a new softener installed. He also gave us quotes for a few other projects we had asked about. We will definitely be calling for Gary when we are ready to start our new projects!
They were very respectful of my difficult situation.

I have an old house with a crappy furnace, so as one might expect I have to call the HVAC people a lot. So far, I have worked with five individual HVAC techs from Mastertech (Tyler, Mackenzie, CJ, Kyle and Nate) and ALL of them have been lovely, helpful people who made an otherwise unpleasant experience friendly and nonthreatening. I also worked with one of their plumbers as well, and he was just as good as the HVAC techs though I didn't get his nameI am particularly impressed with how willing their staff have been to take me down into the basement, show me the actual problems with my system, and explain why a certain repair will fix the problem. As a first time homeowner with little experience in these kinds of things, they've not only fixed my HVAC system, but have given me the tools to do some basic upkeep on my own. Very empowering!Also, their monthly maintenance plan is well worth the money for all the discounts and free check-ups you get. Especially if you have an old house (or just an old furnace), you're going to want that consistent service in my opinion. Plus, HVAC repairs are often expensive no matter what you do, and those discounts really come in handy!So in short, I cannot recommend Mastertech enough. They do every part of their jobs well. They hire competent technicians who also happen to be nice, friendly people. And they do it all for as reasonable of a price as one could ask for.

MasterTech has bailed me out every time I've called them, and frequently comes earlier than estimated, and has sometimes even been able to do the work at a lower price than initially quoted. Just a bunch of honest folks. Kyle Mohler really saved me yesterday when my heat went out - 4 hours of pipe cleaning and reinstalling my furnace the day before Thanksgiving is an incredible ask, and one he was happy to help with.
Matt was incredible. Very knowledgeable and helpful for an hvac problem that has stumped over three other companies. He has saved us much time and money, and given us the piece of mind that our kids will not be cold for another winter. Thanks Matt!
