Marshall Mechanical is your Richmond VA air conditioning, heating and plumbing service partner and is available 24/7/365 at 804.323.0189 to answer your HVAC questions, provide expert advice, help you troubleshoot your heat pump or air conditioning system and get your cooling unit in top working order right away while the Richmond area heat index increases throughout the spring and summer months.
We'll even loan you a window air conditioning unit to keep your home cool temporarily until we can get your system working or replaced if needed. This gives our homeowners and valued customers time to work with us to make a good decision on an HVAC unit that best fits their home and budget, as there are many options to choose from -- and a customized heating and cooling system is often best for energy efficiency and to keep cooling and heating bills to a minimum in peak season summer and winter months. Immediate price discounts on heat pumps or air conditioning units are often not the long-term solution, especially when central air conditioning or A/C units should last over 10 years in your home.
Don't stress over the making a quick decision to buy. At Marshall Mechanical, we never want to pressure you into buying a unit at a time when you need your home cooled quickly for comfort or health reasons. In fact, the simplest solution may be proper trouble shooting and repair of your current unit, with a simple replacement part. And adding an energy efficient, programmable thermostat might help to you to manage and lower your air cooling and heating costs all year round saving you hundreds of dollars per year.
As far as saving money, we can show you many ways to reduce your cooling and air conditioning costs with rebates, Federal tax credits, financing options, payments plans and promotional discounts. Several of our most recent and money-saving promotions can be found on our website special offers web page or on other blog posts here on the Marshall Mechanical blog.
So if you have a problem with your air conditioning unit, you think the air conditioning requires service, or if your heat pump is not working properly, just give us a call at 804.323.0189 and we'll be glad to put you at ease by giving you the best solutions and take the time to answer any questions you have -- for your home, office building or small business. We service both residential and commercial customers and are a certified HVAC engineer with all proper certifications and insurance.
Just ask for details and we'll be happy to provide you with proof as well as customer references and testimonials. As always, written quotes are given to our customers with full service and labor fees, along with product descriptions -- as long as we are given the chance to fully inspect and properly evaluate the current system and talk to the homeowner about any problems they've been experiencing with their HVAC unit so that a new unit will be the best fit for their home, their comfort and their budget.
At Marshall Mechanical, we know your home is an investment and our goal is to help you maximize it. Call Sean Cantrell or Mike Smith at 804.323.0189.

Air conditioning unit not working in the RVA heat? Don't panic. We have value-based solutions!
With the heat index in the Richmond, VA, area at high levels and temperatures running into the 90s, many people are turning on their air conditioning and cooling units for the first time and finding that they are not working properly. Most homeowners complain that either the air conditioning unit doesn't turn on or that it runs constantly but doesn't cool. When this happens and the temperatures are in the 90s, many people panic and want their air conditioning system replaced immediately without proper evaluation and discussion, and often a homeowner simply shops based on price alone.
DON'T CATCH YOURSELF IN THIS SITUATION! Turn to trained professionals who will help you solve your immediate problem and perform a thorough evaluation on your HVAC system BEFORE you replace it. Why? First, replacing is not always the answer. Often A/C units just need a simple service repair to get them up and running efficiently again. Second, a thorough evaluation should be completed before determining if the system needs to be replaced and, if so, what are the best options for the home and environment.
We strive to solve the immediate problem quickly, either by fixing the current unit and/or by installing a window air conditioning unit in the bedroom or main area of the home while we conduct the evaluation. The homeowner or buying consumer should not be in a panic mode while purchasing an HVAC unit that will be in their home for years to come. And certainly, buying on price alone is not the answer. Homeowners should buy on a number of factors including price, value, energy efficiency, brand, manufacturer's rebates, Federal tax credits, size of home, number of floors, placement of A/C unit or units (i.e. basement), etc.
At Marshall Mechanical, we aim to build relationships with our customers for years to come. We want you to be happy with both our service approach as well as our recommendations, if new products are necessary. Sometimes a simple fix is all that is needed but if your home requires more, then we want you to get the best value your money can buy.
So stay both cool and calm! If you or a family member is experiencing problems with the home's air conditioning / cooling unit, please call your Richmond heating, cooling and plumbing partner at 804.323.0189. You'll be glad you did.

How to GREEN UP your next Easter: great suggestions on how to reduce your environmental impact!
Low Impact Living » Blog Archive » How To Make Your Easter Green
Yep, even us HVAC guys love this article from Low Impact Living because of all the creative suggestions on how you can reduce your environmental impact and still have a great time celebrating the Easter holiday. Everything to make your spring celebration eco-friendly -- from eggs, candy, food and even the egg hunt -- and teach your children to be "Green" in the process. Chances are, your kids will have a few ideas of their own.
You can buy organic eggs, use natural food dyes, use reusable and biodegradeable wicker baskets. You can even grow your own grass inside your easter basket which then doubles as a great springtime decoration. Using fair trade, organic chocolate is pretty cool too.
And even for the holiday meal, you can check out a local organic farmer or farmer's market, or maybe consider a vegetarian feast (ok, maybe not for us HVAC guys but we do like to eat healthy when we can).
Bridgette Steffen, who posted the article, also went so far as to talk about how Easter is a time of the celebration of regrowth, renewal and life. And what better time to reduce your environmental impact by growing new plants, cleaning up the neighborhood, using more national ingredients.
This article is just filled with tips and links to help you have a greener Easter and Spring season. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
