Vacuum Pump

« Back to Glossary Index

A vacuum pump is a device used in HVAC systems to remove air and moisture from a sealed system, such as refrigeration or air conditioning lines, creating a partial vacuum. This process is essential for ensuring the system operates efficiently and prevents contamination or damage caused by non-condensable gases or moisture. It works by extracting gas molecules from the enclosed space, making it ready for refrigerant charge and proper functionality.

I was fortunately able to get an appointment for the next day. Jonathan & Austin were prompt and kept me advised of their arrival. They quickly found the problem with my "heat" and were able to fix it without problems. They were very friendly and professional, and I felt that their pricing was fair and reasonable. Thanks again, Guys! UPDATE: I once again had a very good visit from Paradise Heating & Air - they are very prompt and reliable and do an efficient job - thanks once again! I definitely recommend these nice guys!!!

Deborah Atchison

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!

Kofi Creme

My unit was not working and they were working with my relatives. I asked if they would take a look at mine and they did with no problem. They told me what the problem was an within 2 days they had my unit up and running!

D. C. Smith

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.

Kyle & Joanna Baker

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!

Pam Bennett

I can not say enough amazing things about my experience with Paradise - most importantly, about JONATHAN PERKINSON! He is super knowledgeable about any and all HVAC systems, and he answered all my questions - he actually went above and beyond my expectations. I am excited about this company bc I have tried SEVERAL in the Birmingham area - and I’m telling you - this is the company to use and Jonathan is the one specifically that I will be calling again and again!

Cheryl Kruse

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.

J Harrell

VWC

Amazing service and very helpful as well as willing to inform me of what was going on.

Yan Zhu

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.

Gayle Wroclawski

We've been doing a complete renovation of our family home of 30 years to sell and retire. We also needed to make sure we had adequate insulation and have the ductwork inspected. I called Paradise Heating and Air, and found that this was a service they could provide. They were very responsive. I had an estimate within a few days and the job completed the following week. They fixed anything that could become a problem and blew in the amount of insulation to meet the current Hoover building code. Jonathan was so friendly, explained everything that was done and the cost was very reasonable. In fact he talked me out of insulating an area that wasn't really needed!!! I couldn't be happier with the service, and feel good that everything is secure and to code. I highly recommend Jonathan and Paradise Heating and Air!!

Malachi Ray

Great honest and helpful people.

Mary Williams

Great experience!

Karen

Johnathan was great! We had a moisture problem in our kitchen cabinets that were on an interior wall. He spent a good amount of time figuring out what was going on, gave us a solution and answered all of our questions. A very good experience!

John Wills

Great company to work with AGAIN! The minor issues found were carefully explained and resolved. We setup a biannual service plan to keep this 20 yr old house in tip top shape. This is the company you need to handle your HVAC needs.

Steve

Always polite. They were at my house at 8:30 pm making sure we had cool air.

Perry Koonce

Jonathan to the rescue! A quick response saved us from a miserable night. Jonathan had us fixed in a matter of minutes! Highly recommend!

Sandy Farris

Paradise ALWAYS delivers high quality service! I love the honesty and integrity of this company. Paradise is without a doubt my first choice for all my heating and air needs!

Polly Norris

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.

Daniel Maddox

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!

Dave Meyer

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.

Jerry Smith

On time. Made excellent recommendations. Work performed quickly and reasonably.

Cory Wynn

Pam Cain

Great, fast and professional service always!!

Dwight McPeak

Quick response for broken AC. Found the problem quickly and was able to fix on the same visit. They also recommended some improvements based on another issue I was having. Overall great experience.

Brian Motley

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.

Melanie Kettle

They scheduled me in a timely manner. The technician (Jonathan)was very professional, explained the system, and answered all my questions.

Pat Turner

If only all of our consumer needs were met like the service provided by the team at Paradise Heating and Air. From the very cordial and helpful Paradise employee who answered our after-hours, weekend phone call to the technical service provided by Jonathan and Matthew on Monday - we couldn’t be more pleased. We were informed every step of the way via text of all pertinent information including: scheduled appointment time, tech arrival time with the id’s of technicians who would be performing the work. Jonathan and Matthew arrived five minutes earlier than the one hour scheduled window (no no-shows here), did what they had to do and didn’t use weaponry to determine labor costs. In a land where customers have seemingly been disregarded and led to die, the folks of Paradise have obviously seen themselves and decided to do things a different and better way.

Brian L

Love their service. They are very prompt and courteous. They get any issues resolved immediately and are amazing to work with!

Charles Reynolds

Jonathon, as always, provided great service! He is very efficient and honest. Thanks Jonathon, Charles
