My Heating Unit dampers needs replacing. The heating is centralized and the upstairs is working great but the downstairs is ice age. I need total cost for unit and labor to finish the job.

I have a commercial 5 ton unit that is not blowing cold air.

A new air conditioner can expect to give you between 10 to 20 years of service, but problems that require AC repairs will crop up casually. Most air conditioning repair problems involve minor repairs that can be done at home. For instance, you can do simple central air conditioning troubleshooting at home. If your central air conditioner runs, but fails to cool effectively, the unit may just need cleaning. Turn off the main power supply to close all power to the unit. Remove the protective cover from the condenser fins, and clean dust and dirt, vacuuming with a small brush attachment. Remove the topmost grille, and hose the fins inside the unit. Place all the parts back together, and switch the air conditioner on. If you still don't see any improvement, call an AC repair technician to perform air conditioner troubleshooting.
Air conditioner problems also frequently occur due to insufficient HVAC maintenance. Cleaning your air filter is something that should be done at least once or twice during the peak season, and more often, if you have pets at home, or if your air conditioner is used constantly. Cleaning air filters is a simple task. Just remove the protective grill, and clean the condenser fins with a vacuum brush or soft cloth. Dust or debris that accumulates on the filter can disrupt the flow of air, and affect the efficiency of your air conditioner. These dust particles can also travel through the evaporated coil, affecting the heat absorbing capacity of the coil. Other common air conditioner problems are associated with improper usage. For instance, if you have an oversized air conditioner that turns on and off frequently, it can affect the compressor leading to the need for AC compressor repairs. If the air conditioner does not turn on as soon as you switch it on, the thermostat may be set to above the current room temperature. There could also be a trip in the breakage or a blown fuse.
AC repairs tend to be complex procedures, and because your air conditioner is an expensive piece of equipment, it's best not to get experimental with repairs. A central air conditioning troubleshooting technician will be able to conduct all kinds of repairs related to your unit, including AC compressor repairs, AC duct and motor repairs and other central air conditioner repair sources.
