Everything and everyone is very professional, perfect and professionally taken care of. Mr. Mayur is very honest and saved my lots of money. Mr. Keith Grothusen is very knowledgeable, professional and passionate. Mr. Jacob worked nicely.Stifany is also very professional and perfect in her work. I would definitely recommend Akshar HVAC to all my friends, family and my law enforcement colleagues. Thank you all.
These guys are great. I asked several companies to come in and take a look at our system. Akshar immediately pointed out that the system had originally been built incorrectly and told me how they were going to fix it. They got it done quickly, efficiently, and without leaving any kind of a mess behind. Behind. When I had a couple of issues when I first started using it, they were right on it. A pleasure to work with people who know what they're doing.
Over all, my experience was very positive. Mayur provided a clear scope of work & equipment at a fair price to replace our HVAC (gas furnace and AC). In fact, they were able to coordinate with JCP&L and finance the project for 0% for 7 years. You can't beat that!The installation went OK. I had a few questions that I shared with Stephanie. She seems to manage the office. SHE IS A ROCK STAR. Very responsive. Arranged follow up work to accommodate my schedule, etc.Back to my questions:1. I wanted to ensure my AprilAire humidified could be controlled by my Ecobee smart thermostat and I would not have to use a separate AprilAire controller. Mayur came back quickly and rewired the Ecobee. It is July, so I won't be able to test it until the weather gets cold, but I have every reason to believe it will be fine.2. The furnace manufacturer spec call for vent pipe supports every 4 feet. The guys that installed the unit put them too far apart. I let Stephanie know, and she got them back to the house ASAP to add more supports.3. The ports out side of the house were too close to the ground according to the inspector. Stephanie arranged to have the guys stop by the house and address. The inspector approved the modification.So, yes, there were a few issues that needed to be addressed. Stuff happens. What matters is how a contractor responds. The Akshar team was very responsive. Again, a special "thanks" to Stephanie.Nov 22 update: I recently had my the first chance to use the heating and humidifier on our new HVAC. Problem: It was turning off after running for 10 minutes. The Akshar team came out the next day and corrected a wiring issue between the smart thermostat (Ecobee) and the furnace. However, the system was still turning off. After a few more visits, they determined that there was a faulty sensor in the HVAC unit. The faulty sensor was a manufacturer issue: NOT Akshar. They replaced it (NC) and now they system is working like a champ! I can even control the humidifier from the smart thermostat.Things happen. The proof is how well the contractor stands behind their work and products they provide. Akshar gets a big "thumbs up" for both from me.
Absolutely rubbish behaviour and service by this people. Complete unprofessional bunch. Can't recommend at all. BEWARE. Only hire them if you want to be yelled at in your own home and called a Liar REPEATEDLY because of miscommunication between their phone rep and technician. Either that or because they want to charge more despite being issue within just 3-4 months of installation. Details review to come later once my injury heals but highly recommend to stay away from this low offer unprofessionals.
Unavailable after the initial installation. Hard to reachout to them and doesnt respond in text which weirdly is their preferred method communication
Akshar has been a great company to work with. They just completed a job that involved installing a new furnace with improved filtration plenum, a new efficient water heater, and installation of new ductwork. They are very communicative with phone calls and email reminders. The only issue we had was that we needed a vent installed for our over-the-range microwave and this is not something they normally do. They still did it and it works well, just note that this is not a normal ask for them.I would not hesitate to hire Akshar again for any HVAC needs.
After shopping around with 5 HVAC companies, Akshar gave us the best estimate. The owner of the company came to do the initial assessment and there was no pressure sales talk at all. Akshar presented us with reasonable pricing and were very patient in providing us with multiple estimates of different models to fit our needs. The office staff was professional, friendly and prompt in responding. The entire crew was also professional and worked on the job in a very timely and efficient manner.Akshar gave us the Best estimate with the Better Equipment compared to all the rest.
We had used Akshar HVAC to replace our 20 year old heating and air conditioner. They were the most reasonably priced and very willing to work with us on multiple options to get us the specific model/combinations we wanted. Mayur was extremely knowledgeable, patient and really took time to understand our specific need, provide with an estimate which was significantly better than the nearest competitor estimate. The work was executed with precision in timeframe promised. And all paper work with township, PSEG (rebate) and warranty was handled by them smoothly. No surprises at all!I would highly recommend Akshar HVAC and Mayur for any HVAC needs for high quality work at a very reasonable price.
How Long Does HVAC Installation Take? Timeline Explained

The installation of an HVAC system involves a significant investment and is a labor-intensive task. Indeed, HVAC installations are one of the critical home improvement projects where you are required to emphasize several considerations pre and post-installation. Thus, the timeline varies considerably as it may take up to several hours to a whole day.
However, if you are going for a replacement, expect faster installation due to the existing setup. Let’s not forget that each stage of an HVAC installation is crucial and it has to be exceptionally precise to ensure optimal performance and long-lasting benefits.
Today, we at Akshar HVAC are here to guide you through the installation process to help you understand the project complexity and the required timeline. You can make more informed decisions to maximize home comfort. So, here we go.
What Affects the HVAC Installation Time?
Before we dig into the installation process, let’s throw light on the factors that primarily affect the installation timeframe of an HVAC system.
- Project Complexity- The challenges of your project are one of the fundamental factors influencing the overall timeline. It includes the size of the building and the type of the HVAC unit. Larger spaces require more complex and heavy-duty systems, leading to longer deadlines. Similarly, compact spaces require simplified setups, resulting in faster installations.
- Accessibility- Whenever you hire an HVAC repair company for replacement or new setup, stick to local contractors because you must ensure they can easily reach the site. Besides, your building layout is also responsible for determining how conveniently the project can be executed.
- Availability- Of course, the availability of resources is another significant consideration. From labors and equipment to additional supplies, everything affects your installation timeline.
The HVAC Installation Process
- Site Inspection- Before installing an HVAC, it is necessary to evaluate the existing infrastructure. Home layout, insulation, ductwork, and building code compliance are significant aspects that impact the effectiveness and efficiency of your new system. If there are potential issues, your contractor will fix them to meet the comfort requirements.
- Picking the Appropriate HVAC Size- An oversized or undersized heating and cooling system results in compromised performance. Even with regular HVAC maintenance, you cannot achieve the best results. Therefore, focus on space size, local climate, and insulation to pick the right size.
- Ductwork Configuration- A well-structured ductwork distributes air evenly throughout the building and maximizes energy efficiency. Hence, your contractor will size the air ducts properly and ensure there are no leaks. It is followed by efficient installation of the refrigerant lines.
- Unit Installation- As you know, an HVAC system has indoor (air handler) and outdoor (condenser) units. So, in the next phase, both the units will be accurately positioned and installed to ensure enhanced air flow and optimal comfort.
- Electrical Connections- After installing the units, the technicians will set up the electrical connections while adhering to the local building safety codes. There should be no loose wirings as it may lead to short-circuits and fire hazards.
- Thermostat Integration- The HVAC company will now install and integrate the thermostat. They will configure the device according to your lifestyle and comfort needs. It is advised to choose a smart or programmable thermostat to optimize savings on energy bills.
- Performance Test- This is the final stage of the installation procedure where various tests will be performed that substantiate the appropriate functioning and configuration of all the components. Ductwork, refrigerant level, airflow, temperature, noise level, and electrical connections- all aspects will be thoroughly assessed for efficient system performance.
- Maintenance- Needless to say, annual maintenance is crucial to extend your HVAC’s longevity and optimize efficiency. You must hire professionals at least once a year for meticulous inspections, cleaning, and thermostat calibration.
