A modulating valve is a type of valve used in HVAC systems to precisely regulate the flow of air or fluid. Unlike simple on/off valves, a modulating valve can adjust its position incrementally, allowing for fine-tuned control of flow rates. This helps maintain consistent system performance, such as managing temperature, pressure, or humidity levels in a building.

Had what I thought was an issue with my furnace at MIDNIGHT and was in a panic trying to decipher what I thought was an error code. Called numerous places advertising 24/7 assistance and no one could/would help. Jonathan Perkinson with Paradise actually called me back, explained it all to me and kept me from shutting it all down on a cold night. So kind and helpful!!! Highly recommended!
Great experience!
Jonathon, as always, provided great service! He is very efficient and honest. Thanks Jonathon, Charles
2025 UPDATE: I needed Jonathan service on Friday, April 3rd. I called his office at 6:40. Jonathan arrived at my home by 2 o’clock that afternoon. Got my unit back up and running in less than an hour. The team at Paradise heating and cooling. Always provide exceptional, customer service and expertise. As long as Jonathan is in business, I will continue to do business with him. "I was so impressed with Mr. Jonathan from Paradise Heating & Air! They were incredibly respectful of my home, even wearing shoe covers. They were punctual and kept me informed every step of the way. Mr. Jonathan took the time to explain the issue clearly and simply, without any confusing technical terms. They offered several options and let me decide what was best for me and my budget. I really appreciated that they didn't try to oversell me on something I didn't need. It's clear that Mr. Jonathan is knowledgeable and truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend Mr. Jonathan and Paradise Heating & Air to anyone looking for reliable and honest HVAC service. It's refreshing to find a company you can trust."
I would definitely recommend this company they were very knowledgeable and a decent price!
We were very pleased with the service we received! The men were knowledgeable, honest, and timely. We would HIGHLY recommend this service!
Great honest and helpful people.
Always polite. They were at my house at 8:30 pm making sure we had cool air.
Replaced a furnace vent pipe and roof cap, Jonathan and Matt were competent technicians and explained everything to me clearly and the quote and the final price were the same. comparing quotes, they were very competitive and provided a high degree of professionalism on the job. Thank you very much.!
We were in dire situation last last summer when our AC system went off with no repair really feasible. We took some time to shop around despite of awful heat in the house. Johnatan from Paradise Heating and Air is honest, articulate, skillful professional. He offered the best value and cost, the easiest ways to pay, and great service plan. I would recommend everyone to contact Johnatan and Paradise Heating and Air for the AC service.
Jonathan came by and discussed my problem with me. He was professional and gave me helpful suggestions. He did not even charge me for his time. It was a pleasure to work with them, please give the company a try.
Being a first time customer I was extremely impressed with how punctual and professional the technicians are. I highly recommend Paradise Heating and Air
Jonathan and the whole Paradise staff are professional, courteous, and fast. I had a system failure, and they were able to get to me quickly and diagnose the problem. Through Jonathan's research he discovered my system had a warrantied part needing replacement and saved me $1600. I would HIGHLY recommend Jonathan and the Paradise crew and will be using again!
Jon and his team have renewed my faith in the HVAC industry. They service two homes with aging Heating & Cooling systems, and they've gone above & beyond in both cases. From surveying the attics for proper insulation, to accessing the basements and crawl space for any issues that might need to be addressed, I'm confident I'm in good hands with Paradise Heating & Air.
Jonathan provided excellent service and was extremely knowledgeable. He had our heat up and going in no time and also helped us with setting up functions on our thermostat while he was here!
Paradise answered my call late at night and made me an appointment for first thing in the morning and even showed up early. They crawled under my rental house through the dirt and mud to inform me that my landlord had me living in a dangerous environment. He was upfront and honest about everything and let me know the steps I needed to do to get my family out of this situation. No bandaid fixes from these guys, they do things in a professional manner and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Top notch customer service. Highly recommend!
Johnathan and Matt very knowledgeable and professional. Addressed my problem and fixed at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend.
Paradise Heating and Air was great to work with—professional, on time, and very thorough. They communicated clearly throughout the entire process and were upfront about pricing and exactly what they discovered was wrong. I’m very pleased with their service and will definitely use them again. Being on time was a huge plus as well!
I had paradise come out to get me started with their paradise maintenance package, and had them take a look at my attic because we had concerns with our insulation not being adequate. They didn’t try to over sell work I didn’t need, and were honest with what exactly was needed to get us back on track. Techs Jonathan and Matthew came out for the initial inspection and service and came back to do the attic insulation. They were patient and knowledgeable (I ask a lot of questions) and took their time. They found all the places that my system was leaking (out and in) air, fixed them, and then filled the attic. They kept the house clean and were respectful and had great attitudes the entire time. They have definitely earned my business, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work. They are AWESOME!
I was extremely impressed with Paradise Air and am very glad I found them. I have a very old HVAC system they needed some ducts and a condensate pump replaced. They were extremely thorough and clearly explained everything they planned on doing. The price was excellent given how much work they had to do in the crawlspace and the extra time they spent with me advising me on how to get as much out of my old system as I could. They weren’t there to try to sell me a new system. They were there to repair what I asked them to at a reasonable price and help me extend the life of my current system. I won’t even think of calling anyone else from now on.
On time, explained everything very well. Came up with come options to repair my system rather than replace. Thank you.
Paradise was very responsive and was able to come same day. Very professional, nice and honest - would recommend to anyone!
Jonathan and team are hands down the best folks I have ever worked with in the home services industry. Reasonable prices, high quality work, great communication and responsiveness, 5 stars all around. Highly recommend.
Jonathan was great - AC suddenly went out and he was able to get over in 30 min and get it working again! Very knowledgeable and nice!
We have had Jonathan and his capable team working on our A/c and Heating for several years. They are punctual, well mannered and reasonably priced. The work they have done including an A/C replacement has always been outstanding. Plus, we have appreciated their problem solving skills in helping our remaining old units get along from year to year. We are so grateful to have them a phone call away!
Always knowledgeable, respectful, and right on time!
Staff operated in true professionalism and integrity. It's such a relief to know there are still honest people out there. There level of customer service is rarely seen today. Thank you!
I recently had this company come out to my home because my unit wasn’t working, they had someone out the same day. Jonathan was extremely professional and knowledgeable, definitely recommend this company!!
If you are having any HVAC issues please do not hesitate to call Paradise Heating and Air. Mr. Jonathan and his team were quick and provided answers to all my questions. I appreciate how quick they came out and fixed my issue being that we have had some extremely hot temperatures lately. I look forward to working with them in the future. I will be recommending them to anyone who has an issue. Thanks again to Paradise Heating and Air.
Jonathan has always been very respectful and helpful when he comes to service our HVAC! They are prompt to get you on the schedule, have fair pricing, and he is great about explaining what he did to fix your problems. This is an honest company that makes you feel valued.
My unit for upstairs had a major leak in the evaporation coils. Jonathan and Matthew came over and spent an hour here investigating and giving me my options. I decided to replace the whole unit and they were here on a Saturday replacing the unit. The knowledge that Jonathan possessed was second to none. The experience was excellent I will be using them again and I highly recommend them.
These guys did great work for us! Installed a new HVAC system at a competitive price, were very respectful in my home, neat, and incredibly helpful. All around just a great experience.
I honestly cannot tell you just how highly I recommend these folks. Five stars are not enough! They are friendly, professional, very competitively priced and a real pleasure to work with. I've had them out twice, once for a split unit in my sunroom and then today for my main unit and both times they did an exceptional job.
I highly recommend Paradise Heating and Air. I contacted them to give me an estimate on adding more insulation to my attic. They were super responsive. They came out, gave me an estimate that I felt was very reasonable. In a very short time I was on their schedule. They showed up at the time they told me they would and they did a great job!! They even took care of the areas that were leaking heat. They are very personable, great to deal with. I am super pleased.
Would highly recommend this company. Jonathan is an honest guy and gave me a fair price to repair what someone else wanted to completely replace (for a lot more money). He also gave me a replacement price that was much less than my other quote.
On time. Responsive. Seemed confident with expertise. Explained issues well. Serviced and repaired older ac system and did not try to sell me a new one. Kept everyone cool for Mothers Day.
Our AC was struggling a bit. Had another HVCA company come check it out first. Their recommendation was a whole new replacement unit. Bare minimum a $6000 repair job. Got a second opinion from Jonathan’s company, Paradise. All the unit needed was refrigerant. Saved us thousands !! We would recommend Paradise every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Great prompt service fair price. Thanks..
Quick service, fair price, and very thorough with explaining different options. Jonathan was straight and to the point without any sort of pushy sales talk which is rare in the HVAC industry today. Highly recommend!
Honest and kind. Gave incredible price for work completed. Called and was able to come earlier than expected! Cannot recommend enough
The only company I'll use for HVAC. Jon and his team explain everything, do meticulous work, and clean up after the job is done. What more could you ask for? Thanks guys!
Jon showed up as planned and committed to. A big plus was that he had the components on his truck to fix the broken part. Had my heat running after a 1 hour service call. Yes, I would recommend Paradise Heating and Air ...5 Star rec.
Jonathan was very professional and knowledgeable, with a great personality. I will be doing business in the future with his company. I immediately signed up with the company’s annual service plan.
Did a very thorough job of servicing my system. Will use again.
Jonathan was fantastic to work with! We had multiple quotes and opinions on some work we needed to get done and his recommendations and quote came in best and he had some recommendations others did not make that make us feel like he really cared about doing the right thing and really inspected our hvac situation. Jennifer and Gracie were also stellar! Will call them back and recommend to our friends!
Jonathan and the guys did a fast and efficient job fixing our ac. Always a worry when it goes out at the start of summer in Alabama. I highly recommend paradise heating and air to fix your ac problem. Communicated arrival time, explained the issue thoroughly, also didn't break the bank! Thanks again paradise!
