Happy Air

I am exceedingly pleased with the work that Justin and his Happy Air staff performed on my home air conditioning during a recent bedroom addition. As some background, we recently decided to turn a 2nd floor balcony into another room (an exercise room that technically, could be considered a bedroom addition). My general contractor, who I was also pleased with, brought in his HVAC contractor, who ran all the appropriate calculations and determined that our second floor A/C unit was undersized for the new addition. His solution was to replace our 3 ton unit with a new 4 ton unit, and the price estimate was over $10,000. I called in Justin with Happy Air for a second opinion. Justin ran the numbers and determined that our existing unit was adequate, but suggested we zone the upstairs to take advantage of the fact that the entire upstairs typically didn’t need to be cooled at the same time. We now have two thermostats upstairs that allow us to cool the bedrooms and/or the exercise room and operate the entire system much more efficiently (which, as an engineer, I was very impressed with). He also fixed some design problems with our existing system (put return ducts in the correct location, added ducts to the large game room and ducted the exercise room) and did all the work for a fraction of the first cost estimate. The system is also smart phone compatible, and I can now control the entire HVAC from my IPhone. This is really handy when I’m coming home to work out during my lunch hour, and can kick the system on before I get home. We’ve also had some very hot weather since the system was installed, and I can confidently share that my existing 3 ton unit is quite capable of cooling my new upstairs’ space, as Justin promised it would be. Again, I can not express how happy I was with Justin’s work, and will refer Happy Air to my friends, co-workers and neighbors. He saved me a lot of money and put in a better system than suggested by my general contractor. Again, it’s just another example of the value in getting a second estimate.
