What People Have to Say About Us
"Our furnace went out on a Saturday evening when the temperature outside was in the negative numbers. The HVAC contractor we had used for years said they could not come out for days, and my wife had just come home from surgery so we really needed heat. They came out immediately, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it. And considering it was a weekend and after hours, the price was reasonable too. And the technician was polite and professional."

"We will be switching from the HVAC contractor we have used for years over to Custom Cooling."
"Discussed replacing both AC and furnace. Bid was sent to me in a couple of days. Agreed on a system and they installed it 6 days later. Entire job took 6 hours. Did an outstanding job and explained all the functions, settings and controls in a professional manner. Extremely satisfied with their work and equipment."

"A/C had a leak and they charged it within two working days."
"They came out and looked over what units I had, old ones of course, told me what needed to be done, what should be done. After inspection of the old units they emailed bids on 4 different levels of comfort and the costs. They let me choose what I wanted, set up the appointment for ducts to be cleaned. The cost was exactly what they estimated. I would definitely refer anyone to them."

"Very professional job. Very pleased with the way the AC now performs."
"He gave us a repair option and then multiple replacement options. He also recommended switching from a heat pump to a conventional air conditioner. This was less expensive then going with a new heat pump and should give me less repairs down the road. I really appreciated all the options and the great advice. The technicians were in and out in one day and cleaned everything up and left my place better then they found it. Couldn't ask for a better experience from the beginning to the end!!"

Furnace smells strange at startup? Learn about common odors and when to call Custom Cooling & Heating for furnace repair in Lincoln, NE.
A bigger furnace or air conditioner might sound like a safer choice, especially when you’re preparing for a Nebraska summer or winter. But equipment that is too large can cause comfort problems of its own. Equipment that is too small can struggle when temperatures reach their extremes. The right size depends on how much heating and cooling your home actually needs. If you’re planning an HVAC installation in Lincoln, NE, understanding how that need is calculated can help you make a more informed decision about your investment. Square Footage Is Only the Starting Point Two homes with the same square footage may need different HVAC systems. One might have well-insulated walls, newer windows, and plenty of shade. The other might have older windows, a large sun-facing living room, and rooms that are difficult to keep comfortable. A professional sizing assessment considers details such as: The home’s size and layout Insulation and air leakage Window size, type, and direction Ceiling heights Lincoln’s heating and cooling conditions The condition of your ductwork matters, too. Even equipment with the right capacity may struggle to keep every room comfortable if the ducts cannot deliver air effectively. The Problems Caused by an Oversized System An oversized air conditioner can cool the air near the thermostat quickly and shut off before it has run long enough to remove much moisture. Your home may reach the temperature you selected but still feel clammy. Short, frequent cycles can also mean more wear on the equipment. An oversized furnace may create noticeable swings between warm and cool instead of maintaining a steady temperature. The exact effects depend on the equipment and how the system is installed, but extra capacity does not automatically mean extra comfort. ENERGY STAR notes that oversized heating and cooling equipment can switch on and off rapidly, causing excess wear. A larger unit may also cost more upfront without solving the comfort issues that prompted the replacement. The Challenges of an Undersized System A system that is too small may have trouble meeting your home’s heating or cooling needs during very hot or cold weather. You might notice long run times and rooms that never seem to reach the thermostat setting. Longer run times alone do not prove a system is undersized. Some modern systems are designed to operate for extended periods at lower output. Dirty filters , duct problems, poor insulation, and other issues can also cause similar symptoms. That is why it helps to evaluate the whole home before assuming the equipment size is the problem. Check Your Home Before Choosing a System Your old HVAC system may not be the right size for your home today. New insulation, replacement windows, or a finished basement can change how much heating and cooling you need. Before selecting equipment, have a professional assess your home and discuss any rooms that are hard to keep comfortable. Ask how they chose the recommended size and whether your ductwork can support the new system. Those answers can help you choose an installation that fits your home and budget. Frequently Asked Questions Is a bigger HVAC system better for my home? No, a bigger HVAC system is not necessarily better. Oversized equipment can cycle frequently and may leave your home less comfortable, particularly when an air conditioner does not run long enough to remove enough humidity. Can I replace my old HVAC system with the same size? You can, but the old system’s size alone does not show what your home needs today. A fresh assessment is especially useful if you have had comfort problems or made changes to the house. What are signs that my HVAC system may be the wrong size? Frequent short cycles, uneven temperatures, persistent humidity, or difficulty reaching your thermostat setting can be signs of a sizing issue. Other problems can cause these symptoms, so a professional evaluation is the best next step. Plan Your HVAC Installation with Custom Cooling & Heating Choosing a new system means looking beyond the size of your current equipment.
