Michael Binder came out to give us an estimate for a new Lennox AC unit. We were very pleased with the professionalism of having the owner come out himself. The price was less than we expected and will be installed in the spring. Very excited for our new high efficient AC unit. Highly recommend and wonderful dealing with a family owned business.
Great experience. I ended up wanting to upgrade the humidifier to an automatic version and my installer happily went back to the shop to get the upgraded item. Everything is working great – would recommend using this firm to all.
The Binder representative met with us at their office and explained the different heating and air conditioning options available to us. They explained the alternatives in excellent detail, and answered our questions very competently and without pressure to buy.
Binder has successfully installed a three-head unit on our premises. A ducted unit in the attic serves the second floor, while two heads on the main level ensure that the entire second floor is adequately conditioned using only a single head. This setup utilizes Mitsubishi hyper heat technology.
The timeline for a commercial HVAC installation or remodel depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project. For smaller installations or straightforward system replacements, it may take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Larger or more complex projects, such as those involving new construction or custom fabrication, can take several weeks, months, or even a year. At Binder, we prioritize clear communication, so we’ll provide you with a detailed project timeline upfront and keep you informed throughout every stage of the process to ensure on-time completion.
